ARNOLD: Precision connection solutions for complex requirements
From Defence to Smart Living: Customized solutions for demanding applications
For over 125 years, ARNOLD has been synonymous with expertise in heavy-duty fasteners and systems. But our expertise extends far beyond the automotive industry. This know-how is applied wherever the highest demands are placed on safety, durability, and functionality. Applications under extreme conditions are not limited to the automotive sector; they are also found in fields such as Defence, Off-Highway Solutions, Robotics, Railways, and Smart Living.
Building on our automotive DNA, we transfer proven technologies and development expertise to new industries. In close collaboration with customers, we create tailor-made solutions: from the initial idea through design and engineering to series production. Whether it’s custom-drawn parts or complex special solutions, our Business Development team focuses on serving as a development partner. We provide comprehensive support for projects to ensure new applications are implemented reliably, efficiently, and ready for series production.
Defence – High-Precision Fastening Solutions for Mission-Critical Applications
Fastening solutions that must function with absolute reliability under extreme conditions—that is what we stand for at SVI in the security and defense industry. Drawing on our experience in the automotive sector, we apply our engineering and manufacturing expertise to demanding defense-related projects, including those involving leading UAV manufacturers. For these sensitive matters, we have established our own, clearly defined unit—responsible, discreet, and structured.
Off-Highway – Built for the toughest applications
Fastening technology designed for maximum durability, reliability, and uptime in mobile machinery.
Extreme operating conditions, high mechanical stresses, and constant vibrations place the highest demands on fastening technology in off-highway applications. Whether in construction, agricultural, forestry, or municipal machinery – every fastening must function reliably over the long term, even under conditions of dirt, moisture, temperature fluctuations, and varying load profiles.
Robotics – Precision and Efficiency for Highly Dynamic Systems
Fastening technology for maximum performance, lightweight construction, and process reliability in modern robotic applications. High cycle rates, dynamic load cycles, compact designs, and increasing levels of automation make robotics one of the most demanding fields of application for innovative fastening solutions.
Railway – Challenges in Rail Mobility
Rail mobility is a central component of sustainable transportation concepts and, despite long life cycles and strict regulations, is becoming increasingly dynamic through electrification, alternative propulsion systems, and automation. This places greater demands on connection technology, which must function reliably under demanding conditions and, particularly in modular assemblies, play a decisive role in determining quality, availability, and cost-effectiveness in rail vehicle manufacturing.
Smart Living – Securing the Future of Intelligent Living
Smart Living encompasses connected, energy-efficient home and building technologies—from heat pumps and energy systems to smart control and access solutions. Increasing demands for miniaturization, electronics integration, and automated manufacturing make reliable and process-secure connection technology a key factor for success.
