About us

BST is an independent, world-leading manufacturer of high-quality, fully traceable fasteners for a host of critical applications in a range of market sectors characterised by hostile environments. Our products need to have the highest integrity, which is why we offer full traceability of our manufacturing process at every step.

Integrity at every step is also a quality shared by our people and is a philosophy that permeates our company, which, altogether, makes us a very different – and better – option for our customers.

 

Our mission

We strive to demonstrate, deliver and drive integrity in everything we do. To have the utmost quality in all our products and processes, from production and testing, right through to final shipment of goods. To work closely and honestly with customers to provide solutions to industry challenges and to build a strong company capable of handling any requirement, with integrity at every step.

 

Integrity at our core

We were founded in 1988 as a family-owned business, and our independent vision, mind-set and British heritage have lasted through to today. As we’ve grown into an international business, we have stayed true to our roots – remaining agile, flexible, responsive, progressive and purely focused on our customers’ needs, fulfilling them with integrity at the forefront of all processes.

 

Due to the safety critical nature of our products and sectors serviced, we hold the very highest accreditation’s and compliance throughout all sectors of our business. Our products are guaranteed to perform to all customers’ demanding requirements, comply with all relevant standards and be accompanied by documentation to assure full and true traceability. We actively encourage customer audits, inviting a more in-depth look at our fully compliant operations and procedures.

 

Integrity in our people

Because we manufacture to exacting customer specifications, it’s essential that we get our products right first time, every time. So, knowledge, experience and trust in our people is vital. Their expertise and commitment from initial order through to production, testing and quality assurance, ensures that integrity is prevalent throughout our business.

 

Our culture reflects these values. We are relaxed, but professional. Diligent and focused, but friendly. Our people enjoy working in a welcoming environment where they are valued for their skills, expertise and personality, and actively seek to solve customer challenges. If this sounds like an environment where you think you could thrive, see our careers page.
