Where It All Began

Technifast’s journey commenced in 1990, founded as a family-owned and operated company by John Speed. From its earliest days, the company established its home in Corby, Northamptonshire, relocating there in 1991. Technifast quickly earned a reputation for supplying precision engineered fasteners and components to a wide range of industries.

A Commitment to Service and Quality

Central to Technifast’s ethos has always been the unwavering drive to provide an excellent level of service, quality, and value. John Speed articulated this guiding principle: “All along our principle has been to provide a level of customer service, making life as easy as possible for our customers to encourage them to come back to us the next time they have a need for our products.” This philosophy remains the heart of the company’s approach, fostering lasting relationships with customers and ensuring repeat business.

Growth and Team Spirit

As business flourished during the early 1990s, Technifast expanded its operations, building a dedicated team of sales staff and warehouse personnel to support its growing customer base. Long-standing clients will remember Carol Evans, a vital member of the Technifast family throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Today, Suzanne, Sharon, and David continue to be integral to the company, exemplifying Technifast’s commitment to its employees. With over 200 years of combined experience amongst the team, the company takes great pride in nurturing and valuing its staff.

Investing in the Future

Rising demand for custom-made, precision-turned components led John and his team to invest in advanced manufacturing capabilities. In 2005, Technifast relocated to larger premises to facilitate its evolution from a fastener supplier to a respected manufacturer of precision engineered components and CNC turned parts. This move marked a natural progression and signaled the company’s readiness to embrace new opportunities.

Adapting and Advancing

By 2020, Technifast’s established manufacturing division was working proactively with customers, producing bespoke fasteners for applications in industries as diverse as automotive and aviation. Despite the growing scope and complexity of its operations, Technifast never wavered from its commitment to delivering consistent quality and excellence in service.

A Legacy of Achievement

Navigating the challenges of the past five years has demonstrated Technifast’s resilience and dedication. Reaching the milestone of 35 years in operation is a remarkable achievement, underpinned by the hard work of the entire Technifast team and the company’s ongoing investment in improvement and innovation.

Looking Ahead

As the world continues to change, so too does Technifast. With a spirit of continuous improvement and the support of a passionate, experienced team, the company is confident in its ability to meet the challenges of the next 35 years and beyond. Technifast’s story is one of family values, employee loyalty, and an enduring pursuit of excellence—qualities that will surely guide its future successes.
