Ten years is a significant milestone for any company. During this time, LLC ZVK "BERVEL" has passed an impressive path of development, becoming one of the leading manufacturers of high-strength fasteners and calibrated rolled products in Russia.
The official opening of the enterprise took place in 2015, but the idea of creating a company was born long before that – in the late 2000s. The idea to create the plant appeared against the background of the development of steel bridge construction, increasing the pace of construction and the emergence of ambitious unique projects that would not be possible to implement without high-quality fasteners. From the first days of the project, the founders set out to create a modern and high-tech production that meets the highest quality standards.
The company’s mission was and is not just to provide the market with high-quality fasteners, but to solve all kinds of problems related to the process of installing fasteners in metal construction: from working with project documentation to technical support after the implementation of the fasteners to the client. The company’s key values are: product quality, innovation, responsibility to customers, respect for employees.
So, ten years -- how did they go?
The first years of the company’s formation were devoted to the launch of production lines, the formation of a team of professionals, the creation of a quality control system, the debugging of technological and business processes. After the decision of the fundamental for all new enterprises, BERVEL moved to its main strategic goal: bringing the production of Russian fasteners to a new level.
It is no secret that Russia’s hardware industry has always been heavily dependent on Chinese imports since the opening of foreign markets. The massive influx of inexpensive metal products from China created serious competition for domestic manufacturers. It was pointless to compete with China at a price, BERVEL chose another path for itself - the path of innovative development and work with end customers, suggesting and justifying the need to use only high-quality fasteners at responsible construction projects.
Back in 2016, at one of the industry conferences, the words “There is no science today” were heard, and BERVEL accepted this “challenge”. The company is actively conducting research and development work aimed at creating unique products with improved characteristics. Special attention is paid to product standardization: BERVEL takes part in the development and implementation of new industry standards, which allows to create products that surpass imported analogues in quality. The company not only follows the existing standards, but also becomes the initiator of changes, offering innovative solutions to the Russian market.
It was BERVEL that introduced and scaled the application of fasteners with zinc-lamel coating in the markets of bridge and industrial-civil construction. BERVEL was the first in Russia to launch mass production of high-strength fasteners made of weatherproof steel, which does not require additional anti-corrosion protective coating, and BERVEL is the author of regulatory changes and the owner of legitimate TUs for the production of fasteners made of weatherproof steel. In 2024, BERVEL launched a unique service for its partners – the Fixing Installers School, whose task is to travel to customer construction sites, train and advise installation teams, increasing the competence and responsibility of brigades. Therefore, we can proudly say that BERVEL is confidently following the established path, raising the standards of the Russian hardware industry and setting a new vector of development.
Over the past 10 years, BERVEL has delivered more than 160 thousand tons of products to its customers throughout the Russian Federation and abroad. Iconic objects, which are fastened by BERVEL fasteners, are numbered in the hundreds, among them transport infrastructure: high-speed roads, bridges, interchanges, chemical and oil refineries, thousands of kilometers of power lines, stadiums, airports and theaters, business centers, arenas, elevators and many others. All of this would not have been possible without trust in us and the choice of our products by our customers.
Our joint projects have become a source of inspiration and an incentive for continuous improvement. It is the increased requirements for products and services that help us move forward, introduce new technologies and expand production capabilities. We are proud that over the past ten years we have been able to build fruitful and trusting relationships with many of our clients, which allow us to solve the most challenging tasks. We are confident that we will have more interesting projects and achievements ahead of us, which will be possible thanks to our cooperation.
The main asset of the company is our employees. Over 10 years, a professional team has been formed, capable of solving the most complex and ambitious tasks, for which work has become more than just a profession. The BERVEL team is people who not only fulfill their duties, but sincerely put their soul into the common cause. Every employee, from an experienced mentor to a young specialist, strives for constant development and improvement of their skills. It is important to note that 20 employees in the BERVEL team have been working since the opening. Among them: managers, technologists, designers, engineers, operators, masters and managers of different departments.
Over the past ten years, BERVEL has undergone an impressive transformation path from a start-up project to a leading manufacturer of high-strength fasteners in the country. Dynamic development of the enterprise became possible due to the constant introduction of innovative technologies and the desire for perfection. The new decade opens up broad growth prospects for the company. The company plans to increase production capacity, expand the range of products and geography of supplies. Investments in the new workshop and modernization will create additional jobs and increase production efficiency. The future of the plant is inextricably linked to the implementation of ambitious projects and the strengthening of technological leadership. We are confident that the next stage of development will be no less successful, and our achievements will serve as a reliable foundation for conquering new professional heights.
We express our gratitude to all partners and customers for their trust and cooperation. Special words of gratitude to the company staff for professionalism and dedication.
Congratulations to all employees on the anniversary of the company! New achievements and achievements are ahead!
