Fontana Gruppo has reached an agreement to purchase the KAMAX Group, a move that establishes the company as a dominant international force in the fastener industry.

Once authorities approve the deal, the combined entity will operate 42 production sites across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. This expanded network will support over 9,000 employees and is expected to generate roughly EUR 2 billion in annual revenue.

This takeover builds upon Fontana’s recent growth, including 2025 purchases in India and the United States. Although KAMAX has been family-owned for three generations, its leadership views this transition as a strategic step to secure a sustainable market position.

By integrating Kamax’s fifteen plants, Fontana gains significant technical expertise and a larger manufacturing footprint in regions such as Germany, Spain, and China.
