BS Stainless Expands Online Operations with BS Fixings Growth and Twistfix Acquisition

BS Stainless continues to push boundaries in the stainless steel and fixings industry, solidifying its position not just as a manufacturing leader, but also as a pioneer in online retail. While many competitors were only beginning to build their digital presence, BS Stainless launched its website back in 2003, demonstrating a long-standing commitment to innovation and customer accessibility.

A decade later, in 2013, BS Stainless took another major step forward by launching BS Fixings, an e-commerce platform created to meet the rising demand for smaller quantities of professional-quality products. Tailored for both trade professionals and DIY enthusiasts, BS Fixings offered easy access to banding, wing seals, screws, and other fixings—without requiring bulk purchases.

What started as a complementary solution quickly became a thriving operation. BS Fixings is now backed by a dedicated in-house team covering procurement, customer service, SEO, and fulfilment. With state-of-the-art inventory management software, the platform efficiently handles thousands of products, ensuring customers receive fast, reliable service across the UK and beyond.

The evolution of BS Stainless’s online strategy didn’t stop there. In 2025, the company acquired Twistfix, a respected market leader in building repair products. Known for its wide range of crack stitching, damp proofing, and masonry repair solutions, Twistfix brought a new dimension to the BS Stainless portfolio. Many of Twistfix’s high-performance products are manufactured in the UK, reinforcing the company’s commitment to supporting British industry.

Bringing Twistfix into the BS Stainless family has delivered significant strategic advantages. Centralised procurement, greater stock availability, and a wider product selection allow the group to compete even more effectively with larger DIY and ironmongery retailers—on both price and service. All three brands now benefit from market-leading inventory and order management systems, ensuring smooth operations and superior customer experiences.

Across the board, BS Stainless integrates cutting-edge technologies—­including AI-driven systems and intelligent review tools—to improve customer satisfaction and streamline internal operations. Customers of BS Fixings and Twistfix also benefit from access to the same advanced testing and batch tracing facilities used by BS Stainless, along with expert support from knowledgeable staff.

Despite their growth, both BS Fixings and Twistfix remain true to the core values of BS Stainless: quality, service, and innovation. They also continue to act as customers of BS Stainless, offering an increasing range of in-house manufactured products proudly Made in Britain.

As the demand for reliable, competitively priced building materials and fixings continues to rise, BS Stainless and its growing family of brands are perfectly positioned to meet the challenge—­combining manufacturing excellence with digital innovation and a deep understanding of their customers’ needs.

For those in construction, engineering, or home improvement, BS Stainless is more than a metal supplier—it’s a partner in building the future.
