In 2002, Wilhelm Modersohn became aware of the SAF2304 (1.4362) material through Avesta in Sweden. In 2003 Modersohn introduced the first Lean Duplex steel for system products in the German market for fastening systems.
As an independent representative of fastening systems from the company Lutz from Wertheim, Wilhelm Modersohn sen. had recognised early on that there was a great demand in the market for fastenings in the area of masonry facades. In March 1970, he and two employees founded the company, which today has over 140 employees.
Metal active gas welding (MAG welding) is the most important welding process at MODERSOHN and is used for most of the fastening parts in the building industry.
In the field of joining and welding technology, valid proof of suitability which must be regularly renewed in the company by external inspectors (most of them by employees of a welding training and testing institute [SLV]).
It is important that masonry walls are connected to each other in a non-positive way, e.g. when inner walls of masonry meet load-bearing outer walls, and then even very different types of masonry meet.
Masonry reinforcement is understood to be the stabilisation of the masonry wall (disc) in the hardened mortar composite, by adding profiled force-absorbing material in the masonry joints.
The term masonry support refers to the fixing of a wide variety of masonry blocks, with supporting and retaining anchors in the double-shell wall structure of the facade.
General generic term for all supports and properties that are designed according to a basic principle to connect building structures with each other. The fastening system does not always have to be a separate component.
Designation for all stainless steel fastening components which, according to a planned principle, enable the assembly of the structure or plant at the project site (e.g. construction site).
