JET PRESS IS PROUD TO BE A MEMBER OF BIAFD

Strengthening Standards, Representation and Industry Knowledge

At JET PRESS, we’ve built a reputation for supplying reliable fastening solutions across a wide range of sectors. But it’s not just our products that make a difference – it’s the knowledge, networks and standards behind them. That’s why we’re proud to be a member of the British & Irish Association of Fastener Distributors (BIAFD).

Who Are BIAFD?

BIAFD represents fastener distributors in the UK and Ireland, advocating for the sector on a national and international level. With a history going back nearly 70 years, BIAFD is a vital voice in shaping policy, resisting unfair trade restrictions, and upholding industry standards.

What Does This Mean for Our Customers?

Our BIAFD membership supports our commitment to quality, technical insight and service. Customers benefit from:

• Access to up-to-date regulatory information - Weekly bulletins and alerts on UK, EU and global issues affecting fastener supply and standards.

• Involvement in standards development - BIAFD is represented on the BSI FME/9 Fastener Committee, helping shape and interpret industry standards.

• Trusted international connections - As part of EFDA (European Fastener Distributor Association), BIAFD – and in turn JET PRESS – is linked to global fastener organisations in the US, Taiwan, China and beyond.

• Technical training and educational resources - Through BIAFD, we access technical seminars and guidance that sharpen our team’s knowledge and improve our support.

• Industry representation - Whether it’s addressing the impact of anti-dumping tariffs or Brexit-related regulation, BIAFD works to ensure fair access to quality fasteners across the supply chain.

Why It Matters

We’re not just a fastener supplier – we’re committed partners in your design and engineering process. Membership of BIAFD reflects our dedication to delivering not only high-quality components but also trusted advice and market-leading insight.

We’ll continue to support industry progress and quality improvement through our involvement, so you can be confident your supply chain is in good hands.
