About the BERVEL high-strength fastener plant

Work began on the project to establish the BERVEL plant. The initiative aimed to create a high-tech manufacturing facility capable of producing products that meet current industry standards and contributing to the development of Russian industry.

In 2012, the BERVEL plant project entered its active phase. Construction work began on site, followed by the installation of manufacturing equipment.

The BERVEL plant officially opened. During commissioning and trial operation of the production lines, the first batch of products was successfully manufactured, meeting the approved technical requirements and quality standards.

Series production was established, and BERVEL entered the market as a fully operational fastener manufacturer.

BERVEL successfully passed a certification audit of its quality management system against the international ISO 9001:2015 standard, conducted by TÜV Rheinland Cert. The audit confirmed the high standard of the company’s process organisation and quality management.

Production capacity was expanded with new equipment in the nut and bolt forging area. At the same time, BERVEL entered markets in the CIS and Europe, strengthening its international presence.

BERVEL became the first company in Russia to begin large-scale production of high-strength fasteners made from weathering steel, using a unique technology with no equivalent in Russia. BERVEL successfully obtained factory production control certification from EU notified body No. 1922, “Dedal-Attestation and certification”, Ltd. (Certificate No. 1922-CRP-1263). This enabled the plant’s products to bear the CE marking and be used in European Union countries. A sales office was opened in Moscow.

The plant’s products received the Gold Quality Mark at the “All-Russian Brand (Third Millennium): Quality Mark of the 21st Century” competition. The award recognised the products’ high levels of reliability and quality.

BERVEL was included in the Ryazan Region’s list of priority investment projects and its list of regionally significant systemically important organisations. Warehouse space was also expanded, and automation with a location-based storage system was introduced, improving logistics efficiency.

Production capacity was expanded with a new heat-treatment line, strengthening the plant’s technological capabilities and manufacturing flexibility.

An extensive upgrade of cold- and hot-forging equipment increased productivity.

The plant’s products were awarded the Platinum Quality Mark at the “All-Russian Brand (Third Millennium): Quality Mark of the 21st Century” competition — the highest recognition of the company’s achievements. Production capacity was also expanded by commissioning additional equipment in the nut and bolt forging area. New products were introduced.

A new 5,000 m² production building was completed. BERVEL launched a new customer service — the Fastener Installation Training Programme — to help construction companies establish proper procedures for working with high-strength fasteners.

A new phosphating and calibration line was commissioned. New types of fasteners were introduced. The plant’s products were included in the Register of Russian Industrial Products.
