Fasteners have a wide range of applications in various industries such as construction, automotive, aerospace, marine, electrical, and electronics. Fasteners hold together different components and structures, such as beams, walls, roofs, machinery, vehicles, and electronic devices. They ensure reliability, durability, and most importantly safety. Fasteners are also used to connect building elements such as steel beams, concrete walls, and roof panels.

In the automotive and aerospace industry, fasteners are used for engines, frames, and wings and in electronics industry fasteners are used to secure printed circuit boards, connectors, and more such electronic parts. GESSCO General Trading are known to be the best suppliers of fasteners in UAE.
