PKT cartridge technology
The patented PKT technology uses compressed air from an exchangeable cartridge instead of a compressor. A compact, mobile and powerful tool without an external air supply.
Innovative technologies
Since 1960 PREBENA has kept innovating. Every technology is developed in Schotten, Germany, and passes strict quality control.
The patented PKT technology uses compressed air from an exchangeable cartridge instead of a compressor. A compact, mobile and powerful tool without an external air supply.
The evolution of PKT: the cartridge combined with an 18 V LiHD battery from the CAS alliance. The batteries are compatible with more than 100 tools of CAS partners.
The special Optiwear surface treatment significantly extends the life of contact surfaces. Lower maintenance costs and longer service intervals.
The subsidiary PREBENA PWM develops production machines for collated fasteners. Vertical integration guarantees control from the very beginning.
BoWiTec produces wire strip for the production of nails and staples. Own raw material means full quality control from the very start of production.
PREBENA fasteners hold a European Technical Assessment (ETA) as construction products. Load-bearing timber joints are designed according to Eurocode 5.
Fasteners as a construction product
A European Technical Assessment confirms the properties of a fastener for use in load-bearing timber structures. Designers use the capacities, minimum spacings and edge distances given in the ETA documentation and design joints according to Eurocode 5 (EN 1995-1-1).
PREBENA staples with the suffix -ETA in the product code (for example the WD and WP series) are intended for exactly these applications – timber frame houses, roof structures and sheathing.

Made in Germany
Tools and fasteners are developed and made in Schotten. Every piece passes a final inspection – the reason why PREBENA tools last for decades in industrial operation.
