One of the main strategies of ARMA FIXING SYSTEMS is offering new product alternatives to its customers. In particular, there are significant progress in both the production and sales of two products in clamping section. Locking type clamps, which are used on fluid management systems in the automotive sector and provide the operator with the opportunity to pre-position before installation, are in high demand from global Tier-1 companies. Thanks to the locking feature, which is patented by ARMA, the clamp is fixed in the desired position and the adjustment time in the assembly line is eliminated. The number of projects in mass production related to this clamp is increasing day by day. For products with different bandwidths, the new mold system has taken its place in the production line. With the newly commissioned automatic production lines, total production capacity has tripled.
Serial production continues also for the new type of hose clamp product, which is used in the white goods sector. R&D team designed 2 different automatic production lines supported by %100 camera control system. This clamp, which stands out with its impermeability feature, has successfully passed all the tests applied by global OEM customers. Company’s aim is to gradually quadruple the amount of production by the end of 2024.
Patent applications for two different automatic production systems regarding fixing clamps have been completed. Besides, utility model and overseas design registration applications have been made for a new locking system for the locking type clamp product.
ARMA FIXING SYSTEMS exports 47% of its production to more than 40 countries in total in a wide geography including North America, South America and Asia, and mainly Europe. The company aims to increase its market share in specifically the UK, France and the USA.
With new investments in near future, ARMA will continue to develop its production line. The company is planning to purchase 2 eccentric presses of 45 tons with air clutch system for the press shop, 3 plastic injection machines with 150 tons capacity for the production of plastic fasteners, CNC vertical machining center for the tooling shop, 2 automatic metal forming machines for serial production department and 2 automatic assembly line for clamping products section. In addition, ARMA FIXING SYSTEMS plans to obtain its certificates by completing the necessary preparations for ISO 45001 and ISO 27001 management systems.
