Self-pierce riveting systems
& joining elements

Achieve clean, high-strength joints in multi-material vehicle structures with Henrob self-pierce riveting systems and precision joining elements – rivets, studs, and dies.

In today’s automotive industry, the shift toward lightweight construction, giga castings, and multi-material designs - such as joining aluminum to steel - demands innovative and reliable fastening technologies. Traditional welding and mechanical joining methods often fall short when it comes to strength, speed, and material compatibility.

This is where our Henrob self-pierce riveting (SPR) systems excel. Engineered for high-performance and precision, Henrob combines advanced SPR technology with decades of in-house rivet development and application expertise. Whether you're working with aluminum, ultra-high-strength steel, or complex castings, we help you find the right rivet, die, and setting system tailored to your specific application needs.
