Pre-vetted structural fastening components featuring high shear limits, advanced anti-corrosion properties, and rapid installation rates.
How regulatory pressure, sustainable building transitions, and modular structural envelopes drive demand for highly reliable structural fasteners.
Berlin remains a leading hub for structural engineering innovations across Northern and Eastern Germany. The metropolitan area is seeing major growth in modular steel buildings, urban refurbishment projects, and modern logistics centers. Additionally, nearby clean technology manufacturing hubs, such as the Brandenburg automotive sector, require precise, high-performance fastening solutions.
With Germany's strict energy efficiency laws (GEG - Gebäudeenergiegesetz) and the *Berliner Klimaschutz- und Energiewendegesetz*, building facades must now support complex thermal insulation composites, rainscreen cladding, and heavy photovoltaic integrations. High-grade self-drilling screws are essential to secure these structural components. They eliminate pre-drilling stages, drastically cutting down installation times and helping projects meet tight schedules while maintaining code compliance.
Under the Construction Products Regulation (EU No 305/2011), all load-bearing metal assemblies must comply with DIN EN ISO 15480, DIN 7504, and hold European Technical Assessments (ETA) for safety, wind load resistance, and structural longevity.
From raw wire drawing to final heat treatment, Sinsun ensures consistent performance and reliability at every step.
We combine German-engineered multi-station cold heading machines with precision Taiwanese production technology. Our processes, including automated tail-gripping for drill screws, ensure precise geometry, high drill speeds, and tight structural tolerances.
We source all raw carbon steel exclusively from industry leaders like Xing Tai Steel and Ansteel Group. In-house annealing and precision cold wire drawing ensure optimal mechanical grain structure and consistent drill performance.
With four dedicated heat treatment lines operating around the clock, Sinsun maintains strict control over carbonizing depth and core-to-surface hardness ratios (HRC 28-32 core, Min HV 560 surface). This prevents drill tip failure, strip-outs, and hydrogen embrittlement.

Over a decade of manufacturing growth, technology upgrades, and expanding global supply chain operations.
Sinsun Hardware was founded, setting up our initial specialized manufacturing facility for high-volume carbon steel wire processing.
Established direct export divisions, supplying certified fasteners to European, Middle Eastern, and South American distributors.
Upgraded our production floor with imported multi-station cold heading machinery and advanced precision tail-gripping systems.
Reached an annual output of 36,000 tons. Expanded with a 12,000 sqm smart warehouse to offer faster logistics and custom OEM/ODM packaging for our global partners.
An engineering guide on choosing drill points, understanding thread engagement, and preventing corrosion in structural metal assemblies.
Choosing the correct drill point is key to preventing screw failure. For example, a No. 2 drill point is ideal for light metal frames and residential steel studs (up to 2.5mm thick). For heavy industrial purlins and thick steel plates, a No. 5 drill point is required, as it can drill through up to 12.5mm of structural steel without a pre-drilled pilot hole.
Proper connection strength requires the threaded part of the screw to engage fully with the base metal. The drilling section must pass completely through the joint before the threads begin to engage. If threads catch too early, it can cause the drill tip to burn out or strip the connection.
For outdoor cladding and roofing in Berlin, where fasteners face changing weather and humidity, standard zinc plating might not be enough. We offer high-performance alternatives, including:
Real-world applications showing how Sinsun fasteners meet demanding engineering and structural requirements in Europe.
The Challenge: A Tier-1 automotive supplier near Berlin needed a custom flange bolt with high vibration resistance and weight reduction for sub-assembly frames.
Sinsun's Solution: We redesigned the flange fastener using a custom alloy steel wire with in-house heat treatment and a specialized thread-locking design.
The Result: The new design achieved a 15% weight reduction, passed a 2,000-hour vibration test, and integrated smoothly into the client's automated assembly line.
The Challenge: A clean energy contractor required durable structural fasteners to mount solar arrays in high-humidity rural areas near Berlin, expecting a 25-year service life.
Sinsun's Solution: We recommended hex self-drilling screws treated with a 1,200-hour salt spray resistant Ruspert coating and fitted with ozone-resistant EPDM washers.
The Result: The project was completed with zero fastener failures, saving significant installation time and meeting the client's strict durability requirements.
A look at our manufacturing capacity, quality control systems, and localized logistics support.
Our quality management system tracks production from the raw wire rod stage down to the finished box. We provide comprehensive test reports, including hardness, torque-tension, and salt spray test certificates.
Our 12,000 sqm smart warehouse runs on a modern ERP system, allowing us to manage high-volume orders efficiently and coordinate shipping directly to major logistics hubs in Germany.
We work directly with distributors and builders to design custom fasteners. This includes developing non-standard dimensions, specialized drill tips, and high-durability coatings to match specific project requirements.
Information on importing structural fasteners into the European Union under current standards and compliance regulations.
For structural connections in Germany, fasteners must bear the CE mark and have a valid ETA. This technical assessment details the screw's shear capacity, pull-out resistance, and behavior under seismic or cyclic wind loads. Sinsun works to supply all necessary documentation to simplify building authority approvals on-site.
With the EU's CBAM regulations, importing carbon-intensive materials like steel fasteners requires precise tracking of production emissions. We document the carbon footprint of our manufacturing process, helping European importers maintain compliance and avoid supply chain disruption.
We ship our products through primary routes to Germany, leading directly to inland ports in Berlin (like Westhafen) or major rail yards via the Port of Hamburg. Our logistics team handles export customs documentation to ensure clear and predictable transit times.
