Our reference projects
If you know what you need to hold together, then we know how
Nordic Fastening Group is represented at just about every concrete factory across the length and breadth of Sweden. As a result, our products are embedded all over the place in every environment imaginable. We view our customers as business partners, and treat them all with the greatest respect – large and small alike. This can include basic structures such as suspended foundations or an L-support. However, our products are equally likely to be found in many large, prestigious projects such as Friends Arena and Nya Karolinska in Stockholm, where our lifts and connections are used in both terraces and wall elements.
Our reference projects
Nordic Fastening Group has been involved in some of the Nordic region’s largest and most interesting construction projects over the past decade. Our experience and in-depth technical expertise provides us with unique potential to help our customers identify optimal, secure and efficient solutions for every connection need in their projects.

Skultuna
Roof Reinforcement – Skultuna Flexible
We have delivered Beamclamp to Connector Byggteknik AB. The beam clamps were used in the project to reinforce the roof at Skultuna Flexible. One challenge with the project was that operations in the building were ongoing. Since Beamclamp allows for installation without welding and enables post-adjustment, the product was well suited for the project.
