About BTM Scandinavia
Our goal is to get as many people as possible to realize the benefits of clinching. Ideally from start and during the construction of a product - and then help industries become both more cost effective and technically effecient.
What we do
Mainly we sell tools and equipment for joining sheet metal components through a process called clinching.
In short you can with clinching, in all situations where it is applicable, make savings both from an environmental and sustainability point of view but especially in terms of economy – by gains in time, materials, maintenance, energy and environment.
The most common reason for not using clinching is that you have not thought of it as an option or you were not aware of it.
