SCREWS AND BOLTS, QUIET REVOLUTIONARIES

When we think of the great revolutions of the past, what flashes through our minds are momentous events. However, there are many other revolutions, that are quieter and do not act in such a disruptive way. The invention of screws and bolts is certainly a “silent revolution” but one that has held up over time, as has their conception. As a matter of fact, it was in 1568 that the first and primordial machine for carving screws’ threads was made. In 1818 two machines were built for the production of screws and bolts for carriages, the main means of locomotion of the time. The automotive world, the modern version of carriages and gigs, is still a “driving” sector worldwide, also in terms of speed and ability to upgrade technologies and materials.

Panozzo S.r.l. is able to provide screws, bolts, rivets, clips and various technical items made through injection molding technology for the assembly of mechanical parts in the automotive industry. The peculiarity of Panozzo S.r.l. products is the use of the most suitable materials for a field, such as the automotive one, where the risk of wear and stress is very high. Nylon and other specific plastic materials, make Panozzo’s products the perfect combination for the world of automotive, furniture and, even beyond the mainland, the nautical sector.

But let’s go back to history: it is thanks to the war industry, between the First and Second World War, that the process of standardization of screws and bolts reached levels unimaginable until a few years before and in a very short time. This is a historical excursus that will make us look differently at simple objects such as screws or bolts, which quietly hold the world together. Going back to our time, Panozzo wants to give its contribution to the use of screws and bolts through its website www.panozzosrl.com where it is possible to ask for offers and samples.
