Should Know" |
You
Should Know That...
You
can not purchase PEM's or install PEM's or even contact PEM®. PEM
is not a type of fastener and PEM alone is not a company name.
A PEM
fastener (or PEM nut as it is sometimes called) is only a PEM fastener
if it is manufactured by PennEngineering®. Otherwise it should simply
be referred to by a generic term such as a self-clinching fastener,
captive fastener or threaded insert (among others).
No
other company can manufacture a PEM fastener.
PEM
is our brand name and registered trademark. Trademarks are symbols of
a company's quality and reputation. For PennEngineering, products bearing
the PEM trademark convey 60 plus years of quality, reliability, innovation
and support. Many customers will look for the PEM trademark because,
in their experience, products bearing that have provided them with exceptional
performance and complete satisfaction.
The
goodwill and integrity of our Company and the quality of our fasteners
are ingrained in the PEM trademark. This makes the trademark a very
valuable asset to the Company and to our customers who purchase the
PEM brand fasteners.
So
now you know - you can't buy or specify a PEM. But you can spec and
purchase all of the PEM branded fasteners you need from one of our Authorized
Distributors. And most of our products are uniquely marked so that
you can ensure you are getting genuine PEM parts.
