BeIZAN screw is a competition winner
A screw used in a vehicle door locking system, manufactured by BelZAN (a large Russian automotive fasteners producer) became a
winner of the competition “100 best products of Russia 2008”.
The innovative design made it possible to improve the quality of assembling through improvements to the cutting capability of the threads. This
eliminated the necessity to carry out thread cleaning operations. The formation of the head also makes assembly easier.
