1 min read

Australian joining technology company Joinlox has launched Striplox, a rapid, strong and concealed joining solution for general applications. The products are protected by international patents and the maker is keen to find distribution channels in the UK

Striplox products are made of high-spec thermo plastic and are low-cost, rapid solutions for permanent or reversible assembly and reassembly of joinery items including retail and point-of-sale displays, cabinetry and bookshelves, commercial furniture, office and shop fit-outs and exhibition stands, acoustic wall and ceiling panelling, office partitions, shopping centre hoardings and signage. The products will also be available for home and DIY enthusiasts. The key to the Striplox connector solutions is a series of interlocking teeth which spread joining loads along the length of the joins, providing strong and tight connections. The product can be dismantled and is reusable, reducing on-site costs, wastage, emissions and transport costs. The system replaces traditional joining and fastening, including brackets, screws, connectors, latches and mountings to deliver significant savings to both manufacturers and users. Striplox products are claimed to be strong and durable, making the range suitable for numerous non-structural purposes and installations. Joinlox CEO, John Pettigrew commented: "Striplox can be used in a broad range of materials including timber, medium density fibreboard (MDF), plastic, particle board, composite and many other materials." Pettigrew believes that Striplox is easy to use and eliminates the need for bags of loose fasteners and confusing instructions with each order. For industry, this also means that the days of incurring the high costs of having to send skilled tradespeople to assemble at site or point-of-use are over. "The award-winning Joinlox design team is thrilled to have fully developed and produced the Striplox range of rapid-assembly and intuitive products, and we are already receiving strong interest by the woodworking, display, furniture and construction markets both here and internationally," said Pettigrew. "To meet this demand, we also welcome distributor enquiries."
