PEM pioneered the self-clinching fastener

Self-Clinching fasteners are designed to be installed into sheet metal and feature a unique design that allows them to be permanently embedded in a metal sheet, creating a strong, durable and flush attachment point. They create strong, flush attachment points, work with dissimilar metals for greater design flexibility, and offer a cleaner, more cost-effective, and eco-friendly alternative to welding.
