ESSVE the top premium fastener brand in the Nordics have delivered customer insight-driven innovations since 1970. It has resulted in numerous groundbreaking solutions loved by professionals and retailers. Such as ESSBOX System, an integrated fastener system offering simplicity and efficiency for craftsmen. The global launch takes place at the International Hardware fair in Cologne.

Advancing the frontier in wood screws, ESSVE has created a brand new wood screw ESSDRIVE, which saves the professional users shoulders by reducing the compressive force needed with more than 50%. ESSVE has made a comprehensive technical modification of both the design and function. The result is a completely new type of wood screw which drives itself directly into the wood.

Essve launches Essbox Mini – the next generation of the packaging system Essbox, which took the Nordic market by storm in 2012. The new Essbox Mini case measures only 60 percent of the original Essbox case and has been developed as a direct answer to the increased demand from professional craftsmen for a smaller version. The Essbox Mini will be available in European markets as of April 2017.

Essve introduces the next generation frame screw – Programa Plus. With Programa Plus, craftsmen and window installers can mount both window and door frames with speed and ease without risk of splitting or splintering in either joist or frame.

​Essve launches two new foam sealants, Foam Sealant Eco Pro and Foam Sealant Flex Pro, for effective sealing around doors, windows, pipes, and bushings.
