In conjunction with over 20 years' experience in the industrial sector we offer technicians, designers and engineers a wide spectrum of expertise for giving technical advice on an equal footing.

In this way, ideas can be converted into comprehensive solutions which fulfil both technical and commercial requirements.

 Mechanical and electronic locks by Southco
The intelligent Southco Electronic Access Solutions (EAS) from KVT-Fastening offer extensive monitoring and control functions, for access to vehicles, flaps, industrial machinery, lockers, weapons, medicine and switch cabinets as well as other objects worthy of protection. Starting with high-performance, sturdy electronic locks in a host of different forms, through to software-based, wired or wireless control solutions, KVT-Fastening has an enormous range of options by Southco for integration.

Southco Display brackets
The Southco hinges designed on the friction, latch and counterbalance principle permit a precise and secure hold for the displays or objects within the raising and lowering, swivelling and tilt range. Both light and heavy items can equally easily be precisely and ergonomically positioned with it. This is made possible by a latch or friction element incorporated in the hinge itself, allowing both a steady symmetrical and asymmetrical or adjustable friction. These are consistent over more than 20,000 cycles and maintenance-free in use. That makes the Southco positioning technology ideal for use in heavy-duty applications and for special requirements.
