Brexit statement

With Brexit taking place on December 31st 2020 it is important to be well-prepared for any new developments and regulations that will come into force. This might certainly include intensified border controls and customs procedures.

Jeveka and corona

Jeveka is paying close attention to the information and advice from the Dutch government. We are working on the basis of the Dutch government’s coronavirus roadmap and we have adapted this to our own organisation. We are operating based on the current risk level of our region, as determined by the government. In some situations, for the sake of safety, we may opt to act on the basis of a higher risk level.

We are live!

During the past few months, there has been a lot of work going on in the background at Jeveka on our totally new IT system. We have updated everything: ERP, CE, BI, and of course the website and webshop. We have tried as much as possible to ‘put ourselves in our customer’s shoes’, to create the best possible experience for our clients during their visits to the website and webshop.

Jeveka remains open

Jeveka's precautionary measures have been tightened up in accordance with the guidelines set by the Dutch government and the RIVM (The Dutch Health Ministry), with regard to the novel coronavirus (a.k.a. COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2). The measures taken by Jeveka regarding the coronavirus will make sure that Jeveka remains accessible and will continue to deliver as normal - safely.

A huge stock of fasteners

Jeveka is known for its high-quality fasteners.

The possibilities of Titanium and Jeveka

It is lightweight, has remarkable corrosion resistance, is bio-inert, can withstand extreme temperatures, and has a favourable strength-to-weight ratio. Of course, we’re talking about Titanium - a material being used in an increasing number of applications.

Repair screw thread with the KATO repair set

Let’s start at the beginning. Why use threaded inserts? Threaded inserts, also known simply as ‘inserts’, are mainly used to form a strong and durable screw thread in weak or weakened materials. The insert is designed to ensure that each rotation independently adjusts screw thread anomalies between the tapped hole and the screw.

Jextar and Yassine, a strong combination

In 2018 we did extensive research into the possibilities for an even stronger stainless steel screw. The results of the tests surpassed our own expectations with a tensile strength that exceeded 900 N/mm². The Jextar brand was born. After some time, and many positive responses, we decided it's time to give the Jextar brand its own identity. We were looking for someone as strong as the Jextar screws, someone with the same drive to be the best. When our own karate champion Yassine asked if we wanted to sponsor him, we immediately knew this was the right match. Meet the new face of Jextar: Yassine El Attar.

H. Bilz product selector

H. Bilz produces, among other things, high-quality tools for drilling, boring and counterboring. For counterboring, the company has developed an online product selector tool. Now you can find the right product easily.

How we tackle the part of the iceberg under water

The well-known “80-20 rule” (also known as the Pareto Principle) applies equally well to fasteners. Only some of the costs are directly to do with the purchase price of the product. The biggest part comes from hidden costs: metaphorically, the submerged part of the iceberg that’s hidden underwater. As a major wholesaler, we have long been dedicated to reducing these hidden costs on behalf of our customers.

Continuous insight and a grasp on your stock

SmartBinTM puts everything on scales - from trays to pallets. SmartBin can be implemented as a wireless or a fixed-cable (wired) solution, and is suitable for large warehouses and production locations. SmartBin monitors your actual stock use and places orders automatically. Different parameters can be set to optimise your stock position, so that you can still maintain lower stock levels without interruptions in production. SmartBin is flexible with regard to changing turnover rates and can also place rush orders. Jeveka will deliver the items automatically, even before your employees can see that stocks are low on-site, enabling them to keep doing what they do best.

New name: Jeclin

The complete Jeveka line of fasteners designed for cleanroom and vacuum applications will continue under a new name: Jeclin. This line has been developed in partnership with the semiconductor industry. To ensure that these special fasteners can be easily distinguished, the decision was taken to launch the entire range onto the market under its own name. Jeveka continues to be recognisable as the provider (Je~), and the emphasis is on ‘clean’ (~clin). Thus the name: Jeclin.

Better supply reliability, shorter delivery times

Jeveka has purchased a robotic computer numerical control (CNC) machine to meet the rapidly increasing demand for fasteners. In recent years we have continued to invest in machinery and this acquisition represents a logical step in our development.

Jextar, talk about strength

Imagine: a hex socket screw made of stainless steel, and with a tensile strength higher than that of standard stainless steel A4-80 screws. We knew this was possible, and after extensive research into potential materials, and thorough testing of the stainless steel screws ourselves, we can say with certainty that this goal has been achieved.

SmartBin at Nijdra

Jeveka has installed pallet racking at Nijdra Group using a combination of SmartBinTM ‘Flex’ and ‘Classic’. The system contains and manages the workshop floor stock for one module that Nijdra assembles. Working together during the initial implementation period, we will further optimise how this inventory management system works in practice. Following evaluation, this will then be rolled out on a larger scale. Across the world, various large warehouses and production environments have been optimised using SmartBin inventory management. Notable examples can be seen at Studer, manufacturer of grinding machines, and Alstom, known for the train carriages that run on Dutch (and other) railways.

Order pick trolleys at CPM Europe

CPM Europe, located in Zaandam, is a leading supplier of process equipment and technologies for the animal feed, biomass, oilseed and other process industries. CPM Europe produces various types of pellet mills. These are widely used by animal feed and wood processing companies.

Tensile tester

As a technical wholesaler, we supply an exhaustive range of fasteners to satisfy a wide range of requirements. To guarantee quality we continuously investigate whether the fasteners satisfy published specifications. This is so that our customers know exactly what they are buying. We have a special Quality Control room for this purpose. Using a variety of precise measuring equipment, a quality controller oversees sample tests and performs other checks.

Entirely Chromium 6-free fastener range

From 21st September 2017, it is no longer permitted to process Chromium 6 in the European Union without a special exemption. The commotion around Chromium 6 (also known as hexavalent Chromium or Chromium VI) started over 15 years ago when it became apparent that it was carcinogenic in liquid form. Together with, for example, Lead, Mercury and Cadmium, Chromium 6 is a substance that we would preferably no longer use.

Schumacher Polar - Special Geometry for Stainless Steel

The R&D Team at SCHUMACHER Precision Tools, Germany, has completed the development of a new threading tool for machining sophisticated stainless workpiece materials (ISO-Groups M1 and M2). The project comprised of a redefinition of the tool requirements, a thorough redesign, and the simulation of new digital geometries in a variety of production environments.

Kolsterising

Want hardened, corrosion-resistant stainless steel? No problem! Kolsterising® is an industry-proven, surface hardening technology for grades of stainless steel, cobalt and nickel-based alloys. This trusted process provides ultimate hardness and improved mechanical and wear properties - with no loss of corrosion resistance. Kolsterising® is named after the head of the research group that invented the process in the 1980s, Ben H. Kolster (1938-2011).

New geometry development for threading tools

In 2016, after several years of development, Schumacher introduced a new high-performance geometry suitable for universal use, in a wide range of materials. During the course of extensive redesign - and after extensive testing with leading German users - one of the strongest currently available universal geometries has emerged at a compelling price-to-performance ratio.

Junker test machine

A Junker test machine (also known as a Junker machine) tests connections and fastened joints in accordance with DIN 65151.

Schumacher machinetaps for KATO inserts

These Schumacher machinetaps are a result of an intensive collaboration between Schumacher, Kato and Jeveka. They have been especially developed for tapping thread for the Kato inserts(Tanged and Tangless). Also applicable for through holes. As an independent and reliable partner since decades, Jeveka is the distributor of Schumacher and Kato. We are convinced of the excellent quality of both these innovative manufacturers.

Schumacher Universal taps: one tap for all materials

Schumacher, a renowned producer of taps and cutting plates, has now developed one tap suitable for all of the most important workpiece materials. Their design objectives were to improve application flexibility, increase service life, and reduce costs per tapped hole.
