1971 – Foundation of Korrodin-Douchman KG

July 1, 1971 was a Thursday. On this day, Korrodin started its operations. The name says it all: Corrosion-resistant DIN parts

The screw in the lemon means that stainless steel is rust and acid-resistant. Korrodin started by offering standard parts, manufactured by the well-known manufacturer of quality parts, Richard Bergner in Schwabach, Germany

1974 – Construction a new building in the Nuremberg harbor area

1985 – Entry of the Gerlach family into the business

Mr. Gerlach, who learned about the industry while working at a German screw manufacturing company and at a well-known screw wholesaler, took over the company’s management.

Customers of Korrodin prefer quality and demand more than just standard screws.

As a result, we began supplying increasingly more special parts and drawing parts in various high-quality materials.

Korrodin has never been a classic wholesaler with a catalog and standard range of screws. From the very beginning, we have always met our customers’ increasing demands for reliability, product and process quality, even outside the field of fastening technology. We are almost completely self-sufficient because of our specialization in customized drawing parts, the diversity of products in our purchasing service, our highly developed set assembly process and our complete range of fastening technology for aviation standard parts.

Our goal is to constantly develop ourselves, so we can guarantee your satisfaction! Our trained staff of around 50 employees support us in this every day!
