Collectively successful: association commitment

The screw – a small piece of metal that provides a great deal of security. We at HECO have put all our knowledge and skill into this little piece of metal so that our customers’ world is just a little bit more secure and reliable. HECO is also glad to pass on and exchange its in-depth knowledge of manufacturing with other market players in order to reinforce the standing of the screw as a quality product on a broad basis.

To this end, as a professional representative of interests in the commercial and political environment, trade associations provide an ideal platform for the exchange of experiences and ideas. HECO is a member of multiple national trade associations, and contributes to the success of an entire sector with decades of experience and competence.

HECO is a full member of the Fachverband Werkzeugindustrie e. V. (Association of German Tool Manufacturers, FWI), which represents around 160 German tool manufacturers and manufacturers of products for constructional fastening technology. The responsibilities of the sector’s trade association include ensuring that approvals and CE markings are used correctly and the drafting and implementation of European approval guidelines. Within the FWI, there are various product- and subject-related work groups and committees. HECO is actively involved with the specialist groups “Construction Fixings Germany” and “Herstellervereinigung Holzschrauben” (association of wood screw manufacturers) and is also represented on the full board by one member.

The demands made of the owner of a carpenter's workshop nowadays are manifold. He is a specialist, executive, business economist, salesman and designer all in one person. The Landesfachverband Schreinerhandwerk Baden-Württemberg (regional specialist trade association of Baden-Wuerttemberg for carpentry) provides its members with support with all these tasks as part of the national trade association of carpenters. HECO is included in the group of official “partners for carpentry” to which more than 90 suppliers belong. All of them work closely with Baden-Wuerttemberg carpenters and, as backers from industry, they contribute financially to maintaining the economic viability and creative power of the carpentry profession in Baden-Wuerttemberg.
