EU Imposes Definitive Anti -Dumping Duties on Headless Screws

The European Commission has imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on screws without heads originating in the People's Republic of China, confirming provisional measures introduced earlier in the year.

From 23rd October, a definitive anti-dumping duty was applied to imports of screws and bolts, whether or not with their nuts and washers, without heads, of iron or steel other than stainless steel, regardless of tensile strength. This excludes coach screws and other woodscrews, screw hooks and screw rings, self-tapping screws, and screws and bolts for fixing railway track construction material - applying instead to products currently falling under CN codes 7318 15 42 and 7318 15 48 and originating in the People's Republic of China.

Typical products that fall under these CN codes include fully threaded rod, such as allthread or stud bar, threaded studs, tie rods, hanger rods, anchor rods without heads, as well as U bolts or eye bolts – if without heads and threaded along part/all of the length.

The decision followed an investigation initiated after a complaint by the European Industrial Fasteners Institute (EIFI), which represents European fastener manufacturers. The European Commission also confirmed the definitive collection of provisional duties and extended the measure to all registered imports of the product concerned.

The final duty levels vary by company: Zhejiang Junyue Standard Part Co Ltd is subject to 54.7%, the Brother Group

(Jiaxing High-Enter Fastener Co Ltd, Zhejiang Morgan Brother Technology Co Ltd, Jiaxing Brother Standard Part Co Ltd) to 57.1%, and the Chinafar Group (Jiaxing Chinafar Standard Parts Co Ltd and Jiangsu Zhe Fasteners Co Ltd) to 72.3%. Other cooperating companies are charged 59.8%, while all other exporters face the general duty rate of 72.3%.

EUROFER: New Trade Measures Are Lifeline for EU Steelmakers

According to the European Steel Association (EUROFER), the new trade measures presented by the European Commission on 7th October, are a long awaited proposal to forcefully defend the European steel sector, in full respect of WTO rules, from unfair imports flooding the EU market due to massive global overcapacity.

The provisions unveiled by the Commission respond to the needs of the sector and represent a real lifeline for EU steelmakers and steelworkers. The European Parliament and the Council should therefore adopt it as a matter of urgency to enable its entry into force at the beginning of 2026, states EUROFER.

"We strongly welcome and fully support the Commission's proposal on the new steel trade measure. This is a major leap forward to defend the sector and constitutes clear evidence that the Strategic Dialogue on Steel, initiated by President von der Leyen, is starting to bear fruit. We are thankful for the groundbreaking work carried out by EVP Séjourné and Commissioner Šefčovič to implement the most urgent point of the Steel and Metals Action Plan. This trade measure is vital to preserve not just the sector and its workforce, but the very backbone of EU industrial independence and 'green' transition," comments Axel Eggert, director general of EUROFER.

Unlike US tariffs that impose 50% duties on all steel imports, and are justified on unilateral national security

grounds under US Section 232, the new EU trade measure is fully WTO compliant and based on Article 28 of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). The EU measure introduces a Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) system, allowing a fair volume of imports to enter Europe free of tariffs.

This quota is set in-line with 2013 market conditions before the first wave of Chinese steel flooding, at over 18 million tonnes of tariff-free steel – an amount almost equivalent to the combined steel production of France, Belgium and Luxembourg. Only unsustainable imports above quota levels will be subject to a 50% tariff to avoid further import deflection towards the EU, with regular revisions to ensure quotas remain aligned with market conditions in the coming years. Steel derivatives – similarly under threat from cheap imports and also hit by US tariffs – may be shielded in the future.

The new trade measure also includes a 'melted and poured' clause to trace the country of origin of steel, avoiding circumvention and more robustly ringfencing against the spillover effects of global overcapacity.

Fabory and Dresselhaus Establish Partnership

On 13th October, a binding investor agreement with the aim of financing the restructuring plan of Joseph Dresselhaus GmbH & Co KG was signed, beginning a strategic partnership between Dresselhaus and Fabory - two European specialists for fasteners and supply chain solutions.

Implementation is still subject to the final approval of financing partners and employee representatives. The partnership aims to combine Dresselhaus's proven RFID Kanban, point of sale expertise, and C-parts management solutions, with Fabory's innovative supply chain solutions and extensive fastener product range - particularly special and custom made parts.

Customers will gain broader access to fastening technology applications, all from a single source with a strong service focus. The alliance's supply chain performance will be measurably increased by aligning procurement and logistics capabilities,

strengthening availability, shortening lead times, and improving cost efficiency along the value chain. This will particularly benefit Dresselhaus's Kanban business and C-parts solutions, which will be further professionalised through additional capacity, economies of scale and best practice processes.

The companies also complement each other geographically. While Fabory holds a strong position in Benelux, central and eastern Europe, France, Spain, Portugal, and the UK, Dresselhaus's core market is in Germany, Austria, as well as southern and eastern Europe.

Kardemir Announced Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2025

Karabük Iron and Steel Industry Inc. (Kardemir) reported a net loss of 682 million TL in the third quarter of 2025. The company had announced a net profit of 1.4 billion TL in the previous quarter. Thus, the net profit decreased by 149 percent on a quarterly basis.

Significant improvement in net loss

The company announced a net loss of 955 million TL in the first nine months of 2025. This amount showed a 76 percent improvement compared to the loss of 3.95 billion TL in the same period last year.

Positive operating profitability, pressuring financial expenses

Kardemir demonstrated positive performance in operating profitability, achieving an operating profit of 119.6 million TL in the same period. However, due to the impact of financial expenses and monetary items, a net loss was recorded at the end of the period. Third-quarter financial expenses amounted to 1.4 billion TL, showing a 39 percent decrease compared to the same period last year.

Quarterly increase in revenue, annual decline

In terms of sales revenue, the company achieved a turnover of 16 billion TL in the third quarter. This figure increased by 2.5 percent compared to the previous quarter, while it decreased by 17 percent on an annual basis. In the first nine months, total sales revenue amounted to 48.2 billion TL, experiencing a 12 percent annual decline.

Global demand weakness affected sales

While production balance was maintained with an increase in production volume, a real decrease in sales revenue was observed due to the decline in prices. This development was due to weak global steel prices and demand contraction in the European and Middle Eastern markets. While domestic sales remained relatively stable, there was a decline in export volume. The company's balanced pricing strategy and improvements in the product mix contributed to limiting the decrease in revenue.

Increase in gross profitability and expense optimization

Gross profit increased by 11 percent to 3.1 billion TL in the first nine months. The improvement in profitability was achieved through optimizations in coke, energy, and labor expenses.

Difficult Years Await the Turkish Steel Industry

Uğur Dalbeler, President of the World Steel Association for the 2025–2026 term, General Manager of Çolakoğlu Metallurgy, and Vice President of Ç İ B, emphasizes that the rise of global protectionism poses serious risks for Turkey's steel industry. He notes that protectionist policies intensified following former U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to increase steel tariffs from 25% to 50%, which prompted Europe to follow with its own restrictive measures. According to Dalbeler, the EU's newly prepared draft for 2026, halving existing quotas and imposing a 50% tariff for volumes exceeding them, will negatively impact Turkey, as 40% of its steel exports go to the EU. He warns that Turkish steel exports to Europe may decline by 60% next year. The U.S. market has already been lost, and declining performance in the automotive and white goods sectors, both heavily linked to Europe, suggests that the industry is heading toward a very challenging year.

Dalbeler also highlights that the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which will impose a financial obligation beginning in 2026, is expected to add around 60 euros per ton to export costs. At the same time, he points to the growing pressure from rising imports: China is now exporting roughly 500,000 tons of steel per month to Turkey, and Russia continues to increase its presence as well. Combined with global oversupply, China's doubling of its exports from 60 to 120 million tons in the past two years, and expanding trade barriers in the U.S. and EU, he argues that Turkish producers cannot compete with China and Russia in any market. He warns that if current global policies continue, a decline period for Turkey's steel sector will begin in 2026 and beyond.

Regarding costs, Dalbeler underlines that energy, financing, and labor expenses have risen sharply. Labor costs

have tripled in the past five years due to inflation, and he notes that upcoming collective bargaining negotiations in January could even lead to strikes—something he has not seen as a real possibility in Turkey for many years. Some Turkish companies, faced with soaring labor expenses, have already begun bringing in workers from countries such as India.

Dalbeler estimates that Turkey's steel exports will reach 16–17 billion dollars this year, amounting to 19–20 million tons—an improvement over 2023–2024, but still well below 2021–2022 levels. He also points to emerging competitors such as Egypt, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and several Gulf countries, where new capacities—often backed by Chinese investment—are increasing global competition, helped by low energy and labor costs.

As for his role in the World Steel Association, Dalbeler explains that the organization represents 85% of global steel production and works to establish common principles, particularly regarding carbon emission calculations, safety standards, and human resources development. However, he notes that reaching global consensus has become increasingly difficult as countries adopt conflicting trade and decarbonization policies. Despite this, he stresses the importance of cooperation, dialogue, and coordinated projects for the long-term stability of the steel industry, arguing that no country can address these challenges alone and that collaboration remains essential for the sector's future.

Twenty Years of Dedication to Cold Forging Dies - Building an Industry Benchmark

- An Interview with

Mr. Qiu Changwu, General Manager of Kunshan Datong Precision Dies Co., Ltd.

In the intricate landscape of China's manufacturing industry, the technical sophistication of dies directly determines downstream product quality and manufacturing efficiency. Since its establishment in 2005, Kunshan Datong Precision Dies Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Datong") has been deeply engaged in the field of rod and shaft cold forging precision dies for nearly 20 years. With its profound technical accumulation and steady business strategy, it has stood out in the fierce market competition. On this occasion, we are honored to have a dialogue with Mr. Qiu Changwu (hereinafter "Mr. Qiu"), General Manager of the company, to explore the underlying drivers behind the enterprise's steady growth over more than two decades.

CFM

Since the company's establishment in 2005, you have been deeply involved in the field of rod and shaft cold forging precision dies for nearly 20 years. From the initial stage to now serving nearly 400 customers and establishing long-term cooperation with firsttier manufacturers, looking back on this journey, which key milestones or decisions do you think have played a decisive role in the company's growth?

Mr. Qiu: Although the company was officially founded in 2005, our core team has accumulated more than 30 years of experience in the cold heading and cold forging industry. From the initial team of more than 10 people to a professional die enterprise with a scale of over 60 employees today, owning exclusive technical and manufacturing teams, as well as unique die-making processes and advanced processing capabilities, the following key decisions have played a decisive role: Firstly, the strategy of "steady expansion with

sufficient accumulation". During the golden decade of rapid industry development from 2005 to 2015, we did not blindly pursue scale expansion, but consciously controlled the development pace, striving to fully absorb the experience and technology accumulated at each stage and solidify the internal foundation. Secondly, firmly adhering to a "technologyoriented" approach. Since its establishment, we have recognized that technology is the lifeline of a die enterprise. Therefore, we have consistently invested heavily in design and manufacturing R&D. At the same

time, we have managed all data systematically. To this day, we can still query the work orders and tens of thousands of sets of designed die drawings since the company's founding. In addition, Datong decided in 2015 to purchase land to build our own factory. The new factory was completed and put into use in 2017, which promoted a series of equipment upgrades and technological updates, laying a solid hardware foundation for subsequent development.

CFM

"Upholding

quality commitments" is Datong's principle. Could you share a specific case to illustrate how you ensure product precision and stability?

Mr. Qiu: Let me take the development of a steppedtoothed shaft die as an example. During the initial design, we predicted the size difference between the die and the product and reserved the expansion amount, but the actual product size after cold heading forming still exceeded the reserved amount. Through systematic analysis, it was found that the problem stemmed from the coupled influence of three aspects: die size, material hardness and lubrication, and die load.

Regarding die size alone, we adopted a number of improvements:

First, we upgraded the wire EDM process for the toothed holes from "one cut and two trims" to "one cut and four trims," while reducing the total cutting amount.

Second, we switched the inner hole measurement method from general-purpose tools to dedicated specialpurpose measuring tools.

Finally, after comprehensively considering the influence of materials, lubrication and load, we finalized the die size as the optimized value. This holistic approach has enabled stable mass production.

At the design end, we ensure that all data can be traced back to each detailed adjustment; at the production end, in addition to the standardized processes for regular products, we implement customized production processes for special dies and establish a multi-stage inspection mechanism to minimize batch differences; at the inspection end, we build a finished product database to reversely empower design and production, continuously optimize inspection methods, and always pursue a high degree of consistency in precision and stability.

CFM

When designing dies for cold heading equipment of different brands and models, what core difficulties does your technical team need to overcome? And what standardized experiences can be reused?

Mr. Qiu: Equipment of different brands has its own characteristics. Before design, we must deeply understand their die combination and fixing methods, transmission principles, integrate the practical experience of operators, and communicate the differences in standardization between both parties. The standardization of die design can be divided into structure, material, shape and size, etc. As long as it does not affect die life, economy and load, we prioritize following the customer's standardized structure. If the customer's standards cannot solve the problem, we initiate customized structural design. Die materials have relatively limited standardization space and need to be customized according to product materials, production speed, precision and other conditions. Although the shape and size of the die are determined by the product, most of its accessories and noncritical components can achieve standardized common use.

FEATURED COMPANY

CFM

Currently, cold forging technology is developing towards high-performance materials and process automation. On the basis of absorbing advanced technologies, what specific breakthroughs has your company made in die design innovation in recent years?

Mr. Qiu: With the progress of technology and materials, the single cold heading process is evolving into a combined forming process with cold extrusion, stamping, fine blanking, warm heading, hot heading and other processes. In recent years, in response to customers' urgent needs for process integration and cost reduction, we have invested a lot of resources in R&D and testing.

At present, we have accumulated rich experience in the integration of composite forming technologies such as "cold extrusion + stamping and fine blanking" and "warm heading/hot heading + stamping", with hundreds of successful cases. These innovative solutions can help customers eliminate one to three manufacturing steps on average, improve product yield, and reduce production costs by 20% to 70%, achieving significant efficiency improvement and cost optimization.

CFM

Your company has the ability to design and manufacture both standard and non-standard die parts. What are the differences between these two businesses? How does the company achieve resource coordination and efficient operation between them?

Mr. Qiu: The standard and non-standard parts businesses do have their own characteristics: Standard part dies have the characteristics of fast delivery requirements, large quantities, price sensitivity, and strong versatility. We adopt the strategy of mass production and inventory building, and require business personnel to be proficient in relevant standards and equipment adaptability. Nonstandard part dies are characterized by long development cycles, high degree of customization, small batch quantity but high profit margin. We implement "dedicated materials for specific applications", emphasize the close connection between design, production and customer technical docking, and require designers to be proficient in structural design, equipment operation, material application and software simulation.

Although the models are different, they are fundamentally interrelated. Through an internal management and training mechanism that has been in operation for many years, we uniformly plan technical training and drawing management, so as to achieve effective coordination and efficient operation of the two types of businesses.

CFM

As a customer-oriented enterprise, when assisting customers in optimizing solutions and saving costs, have you encountered conflicts between customer needs, technical feasibility and cost control? How does your company balance and resolve them?

Mr. Qiu: Frankly speaking, this is indeed a common challenge in the industry, especially for special-shaped products. When tackling such challenges, our method draws on our extensive database of successful cases, evaluates the feasibility of integrating various metal forming techniques, and employs simulation software for forming analysis. Finally, we will provide detailed feasibility reports and professional suggestions based on the customer's actual situation, and work with the customer to explore the optimal solution.

CFM

Finally, for emerging enterprises in the cold forging die industry, combined with your more than 20 years of development experience, which ability do you think should be prioritized among the three core areas of technical accumulation, quality control and customer development? What detours are worth vigilance?

Mr. Qiu: These three are complementary, just like the design, manufacturing and use of dies. Progress in any one area will promote overall development; on the contrary, any shortcoming may drag the enterprise into a negative cycle. Based on our company's positioning, we believe that

technical accumulation is the cornerstone, quality control is the guarantee, and customer development is the channel. Without technology, you don't know how to do things; without quality, you can't guarantee output; without customers, there is no way to transform achievements. Enterprise operation is a virtuous cycle, and every good start is the source of motivation for subsequent positive development. Therefore, my suggestion is that the three must strive to advance hand in hand. Even if the pace is slower, we must ensure coordinated development. The specific path needs to be based on your own actual situation, but only by forming an effective closed loop and dynamic balance among technology, quality and market development can we build a sustainable and resilient long-term growth.

Since its establishment in 1988, YNK has been deeply rooted in the fastener industry for 37 years. Could you look back and share which stages have been crucial to the company's development? In your opinion, what are the core factors supporting the company's long-term growth?

Ms. Yu: Looking back on YNK's development journey, several stages are truly strategically significant: From 1991 to 2000, when China's manufacturing industry boomed rapidly, the demand for fasteners surged. We seized this historical opportunity, entered a period of rapid development, achieved a leap in both output and quality, and began to actively participate in international market competition, laying the foundation for the company's global vision. Since 2011, the company has shifted towards steady development and quality-oriented internal optimization. We have focused more on technological innovation, the excellence in product

quality, and the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure.

As for the core factors supporting our long-term growth, I believe they are the accurate grasp of market demand and the ability of continuous technological innovation. These two are like the dual wheels driving the company forward, enabling us to remain sensitive in a changing market and build core competitiveness.

CFM

With

the vision of "becoming a technical benchmark in the fastener industry," your company has obtained international certifications such as ISO 9001 and IATF 16949. Currently, what specific aspects do the company's technical advantages manifest in?

Ms. Yu: Our technical advantages are mainly reflected in three aspects: First, high-precision product manufacturing capacity, which ensures the consistency and reliability of product performance; second, a strict quality control system that guarantees quality throughout the entire process from raw materials to finished products; third, continuous innovative R&D capability, which is the fundamental for us to meet diverse market demands and maintain technological leadership.

CFM

The company's business covers both standard fasteners and customized products. Standard parts face cost pressures, while customized products require flexible production, and the two have different resource requirements. How does YNK coordinate these two production models?

Ms. Yu: We achieve coordination through dynamic capacity allocation. Specifically, on the premise of ensuring the stable production and supply of standard parts, we reserve a certain proportion of flexible production capacity specifically for undertaking customized orders. For example, the company can allocate 70%-80% of its production capacity to standard parts production, and reserve 20%30% as flexible production capacity, which is flexibly adjusted according to the quantity and urgency of customized orders. This mechanism allows us to maintain the economies of scale of standard parts while meeting the agile demand for customized products in the market.

CFM

Currently, high-end fasteners are developing towards high valueadded and intelligent directions, and the application demand in emerging fields such as aerospace and wind power is growing day by day. Has YNK entered these highend fields?

Ms. Yu: Yes, we have actively deployed and accumulated practical experience in the new energy and high-end manufacturing fields. Taking the wind power sector as an example, in response to the connection needs of key components such as wind turbine towers and blades, we have successfully developed fatigue-resistant and corrosionresistant washer solutions engineered to withstand extreme onshore and offshore wind environments..

FEATURED COMPANY

CFM

YNK's products are not only used in major Chinese projects but also exported to markets such as Europe, America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. For high-growth emerging markets like Southeast Asia, does the company have specialized product and service strategies?

Ms. Yu: For the Southeast Asian market, we have formulated an integrated three-pronged strategy of "product customization, cost optimization, and service localization." We not only meet the rigid demands of local infrastructure construction and manufacturing but also establish market competitiveness through precise responses. We will focus on supplying products such as large-size flat washers, which are made of S45C high-quality carbon steel to ensure high strength and excellent deformation resistance, so as to meet the high-strength connection needs of large construction machinery.

CFM

The overseas market is highly competitive, and local enterprises in some regions also have cost advantages. What special ideas or methods does YNK adopt in overseas brand promotion?

Ms. Yu: In overseas markets, we mainly adopt two strategies. One core tactic is to deepen local cooperation by establishing exclusive cooperative relationships with powerful local agents or distributors, make full use of their local channels and market resources to achieve rapid market penetration, and protect the rights and interests of both parties through clear agreements. Another critical measure is to seize policy opportunities. We closely monitor the industrial policies of target markets, such as the tariff reduction policies introduced by countries like Indonesia and Thailand (e.g., Indonesia offers a 15% tariff reduction on some imported infrastructure products), and prioritize resource allocation in these policy-supported areas.

The current industry is in a period of upgrading and transformation, and global competition is becoming increasingly fierce. What are the company's development plans for the next 3-5 years? For new entrants in the industry, what experience can you share?

Ms. Yu: In the future, YNK will continue to consolidate and expand overseas markets, and formulate precise marketing strategies according to the characteristics of different regions. At the same time, we will also pay close attention to opportunities in the Chinese market, especially the demand brought by major engineering projects, to further increase market share.

For new enterprises, I want to emphasize the importance of talent. The long-term development of an enterprise is inseparable from a high-quality team. New enterprises should attach particular importance to the introduction and training of talents, build a strong talent echelon, and provide continuous core motivation for development.

CFM CFM

In addition to the above questions, do you have any other content you would like to share regarding enterprise development, industry insights, etc?

Ms. Yu: We believe that in the current competitive environment, enterprises such as YNK are consolidating their industry positions through capacity expansion and technological innovation. For new enterprises, they can focus on key strategies such as digital transformation, brand globalization, and supply chain optimization, which are effective paths to achieve breakthrough growth under the new situation.

High-specification, special-purpose, and small-batch customized products mostly rely on imports.

CFM Makes an Appearance at 2025 International Fastener Expo, Strengthening Global Sourcing Connections

On September 16, 2025 (local time), the International Fastener Expo officially kicked off at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. The CFM team attended the expo with the latest Issue 43 of CFM, which was officially released onsite and attracted the attention of numerous international buyers and industry partners. The CFM booth was buzzing with industry activity and in-depth exchanges, emerging as a major highlight of the event.

In the global landscape of the fastener industry, the International Fastener Expo, Fastener Fair Global, and Fastener Expo Shanghai (June 24-26, 2026) are widely recognized as the three leading global exhibitions in the fastener sector.

As one of the largest and most important fastener exhibitions in North America, this year's International Fastener Expo featured exhibitors mainly from the United States, while also bringing together exhibition groups from multiple countries including China, India, and Turkey. Among them, there were over 70 exhibitors from mainland China and around 60 from Taiwan, China, highlighting the diverse cooperation and close connections within the global fastener industry chain. The exhibits covered various types of fasteners, processing equipment, hardware tools, and spare parts. Both in terms of the professionalism of the exhibits and the quality of the visitors, the expo reflected high-level industry characteristics and international influence.

According to relevant statistics, from January to July 2025, the total import volume of fasteners in the United States reached approximately 1 billion kilograms, with a total import value of about USD 3.96 billion, indicating that the market demand remains strong. However, starting from March 2025, the United States has imposed a 70% tariff on all bolts imported from China and a 52.5% tariff on all nuts imported from China. This has led to a significant increase in the cost of fasteners exported from China to the United States, seriously undermining their price competitiveness. As a result, many enterprises may be forced to reduce their presence in or even withdraw from the U.S. market.

May

Faced with this situation, Chinese fastener enterprises are actively adopting a variety of strategies to respond. In the short term, these strategies include negotiating with U.S. importers to share tariff costs and exploring re-export trade via third countries. In the medium and long term, enterprises urgently need to promote market diversification by exploring emerging markets such as Europe, Southeast Asia, and countries along the "Belt and Road" Initiative. Meanwhile, they should accelerate the transformation toward high-valueadded fastener products used in sectors like new energy vehicles, wind power, and aerospace. Additionally, they need to further leverage China's massive demand for infrastructure construction. Through these efforts, enterprises aim to reduce their reliance on a single market and build a more risk-resilient business structure.

CFM Makes Its Appearance at FastenexEmpowering Chinese Fastener Enterprises to Explore the Russian Market

On October 7 (local time), Fastenex was successfully held in Moscow. CFM participated in the exhibition with Issue 43 of China Fastener Magazine (CFM), focusing on showcasing the strength of outstanding Chinese fastener manufacturers to the international market (CFM Booth No.: A2023).

Fastenex was held concurrently with Weldex, featuring a dual-theme focus on "fasteners" and "welding", bringing together approximately 190 enterprises related to the global industrial chain, among which about 60 were Chinese exhibitors, accounting for nearly one-third of the total. This highlights the attention and determination of China's fastener industry to explore the Russian and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) markets. Notably, most of the exhibitors in the fastener exhibition area were from China, while Russian local enterprises dominated the welding exhibition area.

As a professional media and service platform in China's fastener industry, CFM played an active role at the exhibition. It not only conducted in-depth exchanges with industry peers on-site but also extended a warm invitation to numerous overseas buyers, inviting them to attend the Fastener Expo Shanghai, which will be held from June 24 to 26, 2026.

This initiative aims to build a dedicated and efficient faceto-face negotiation platform for global fastener buyers and Chinese suppliers, further strengthening and streamlining fastener trade channels between Europe and Asia.

With the steady development of Russia's infrastructure, energy, machinery manufacturing, automotive, and other industries, the demand for various types of fasteners remains stable. Especially against the backdrop of adjustments in

Western supply chains, there is a huge supply gap in the market that needs to be filled.

Russia's local fastener production capacity is relatively limited, especially in the fields of high-end, special, and highvalue-added products. The market has a high dependence on imported products, particularly cost-effective Chinese products. Relying on its complete product range, stable quality, and competitive prices, Chinese fasteners enjoy broad development space in the local market.

According to data compiled by CFM, in 2024, the value of Chinese fasteners exported to Russia reached USD 567,445,835, a year-on-year increase of 28.6%. Leveraging its advantages in price and quality, China has occupied an important position in the Russian fastener market and has now become one of its largest sources of imports.

CFM Participates in Korea Metal Week 2025 - Insights into New Opportunities for China-South Korea Fastener Cooperation

From October 29 to 31, 2025, Korea Metal Week, a key industrial event in Asia, was successfully held at KINTEX in South Korea.

Covering 14 major themes across fasteners, forging, auto parts, and 3D printing, the event fully showcased the latest achievements in metal materials, manufacturing technology, and smart factories.

CFM's booth attracted many international buyers and industry professionals during the exhibition. They not only requested copies of the magazine but also held in-depth discussions with CFM's team on the supply chain advantages, innovative products, and potential cooperation opportunities of China's fastener industry. Taking this opportunity, CFM staff also introduced the Overseas Buyer Database (OBD) to international buyers and partners and actively promoted the

Fastener Expo Shanghai - scheduled to be held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai) from June 24 to 26, 2026. The on-site communication was lively, and valuable feedback was collected from numerous potential overseas buyers.

Automotive Industry Drives Sustained Market Expansion

The exhibition served not only as a display platform but also as an information exchange hub. According to authoritative data from the Korea Federation of Fastener Industry Cooperatives (KFFIC), South Korea's fastener demand structure shows clear characteristics: the automotive industry accounts for a dominant 73% share, making it the core driver, while the construction and electronics industries account for 9% and 6% respectively. This data clearly identifies the focus of the South Korean market and provides key strategic guidance for enterprises seeking to enter or deepen their presence in this market.

Meanwhile, South Korea's domestic fastener industry has shown a strong recovery momentum. Data indicates that by 2022, the average shipment value per factory of South Korean fastener enterprises (with 10 or more employees) had increased by 19.5% compared to 2020, demonstrating the vitality and resilience of the region's manufacturing sector.

Solid Foundation for China-South Korea Fastener Cooperation

China and South Korea have inherent complementarity in fastener trade. Customs data shows that China has long been South Korea's largest source of fastener imports. In 2024, for example, South Korea imported 200,000 metric tons of fasteners, of which 183,000 metric tons (valued at USD 300 million) came from China - far exceeding imports from other countries. This close trade relationship continued through JanuarySeptember 2025, with products such as bolts and nuts remaining the mainstay of bilateral trade.

Table 1: Turkey Fastener Import Data from January to August 2025

According to Turkey's fastener import and export data from January to August 2025, the country's monthly export volume and value both exceeded imports, indicating a strong trade surplus in fastener products. This is partly attributed to the development of its local manufacturing industry and partly to its undertaking of some international orders originally belonging to traditional manufacturing countries such as China, enabling Turkey to play an increasingly important role in the global supply chain.

In terms of trends, both imports and exports declined in the middle of the year. After reaching their peaks in April or May, import and export volume and value both dropped simultaneously in June. This synchronized decline may be affected by the weak global industrial demand. Furthermore, as the world's largest fastener producer and exporter, China's changes in market supply and demand, as well as price competition, are also inevitable external factors.

Import volume in July hit the highest in eight months, and import value reached the second-highest in the same period; however, both showed a downward trend in August.

Export volume also rebounded in July and remained stable in August, indicating that export demand tends to stabilize; export value achieved significant growth in July and August after the decline in June.

Overall, Turkey's fastener trade surplus pattern remained stable from January to August 2025, while the market exhibited volatile characteristics, which may indicate instability in external demand or the international market environment.
