QUALITY AS BRAND DNA “Made in Germany” – once invented by the British to distinguish German goods from their own products, this seal is now a huge asset. The German technical inspectorate TÜV certifi es what we as a German manufacturer guarantee. This adds real value. Our SPAX screws are manufactured in Ennepetal and then processed and packaged locally. In a very complex certifi cation process designed by TÜV, SPAX was able to provide full and clear documentation of every stage of development and right through to delivery of its products. SPAX was the fi rst manufacturer in the DIY sector to be awarded the coveted TÜV certifi cate. Our brand pledge includes consistently high quality, a high degree of innovation, certifi cations such as the CE label, technical approvals and brand products/maintenance. In addition, SPAX is committed to providing guarantees such as compliance with strict environmental protection laws, protected working conditions and social responsibility. The high quality standards that producers and customers associate with the SPAX brand name can only be implemented and monitored to this degree on home soil. This requires qualifi ed and experienced specialists – many of whom have been with the company since their initial training. With its characteristic green packaging, SPAX has a high recognition value. With such a strong brand DNA, it quickly becomes clear why the “Made in Germany” seal is of decisive importance to SPAX.
