Kato

KATO® sets the standard in fastening technology with precision-crafted Tanged and Tangless® wire thread inserts. Engineered for superior strength and ease of installation, these inserts help manufacturers in aerospace, automotive, and telecommunications develop lightweight, high-performance products.

From Distributor Sales to Direct Success

With a legacy built through distributors under the name Coilthread, KATO—owned by Advanex—set out to take back control. A strategic rebrand restored its identity, integrating it into a wider branded house. With a revitalised website and direct sales strategy, KATO increased profitability and secured several major aerospace partnerships within a year.
