Fastener Insertion Services

Professional installation of PEM hardware, threaded inserts, studs, and standoffs. Create strong, reusable threaded connections in sheet metal and thin materials.

What is Fastener Insertion?

Fastener insertion (also known as PEM installation) is the process of permanently installing threaded inserts, studs, standoffs, and other hardware into sheet metal. These fasteners create strong, reusable threaded connections where tapped threads would be too weak.

Our precision insertion equipment ensures proper installation depth, alignment, and pull-out strength—essential for assemblies requiring repeated disassembly or high mechanical loads. Perfect for enclosures, brackets, and chassis construction.
