Fischer is a German company specialized in the production of
fastening systems for construction, chemical and mechanical anchors, sealants, insulating foams and solutions for professional installation. Founded in 1948 by the Fischer family, the company began as a small workshop in Germany and progressively evolved into an international group active in the field of fastening technologies for residential and industrial construction. The Fischer catalog includes products designed both for domestic applications and for large-scale infrastructure projects, with solutions developed for concrete, masonry, drywall, ventilated façades and thermal insulation systems. Continuous research and development remain among the brand’s defining strengths, with a strong focus on improving technical performance, safety and long-term durability of fastening systems.
The Fischer catalog: wall plugs, fastening systems and anchors
The Fischer catalog encompasses a broad range of
universal wall plugs, special fastening systems, metal anchors and chemical anchors designed to meet the requirements of contemporary construction. Among the brand’s most representative lines is
Duo-Line, the family of universal wall plugs engineered with a combination of two different plastic materials — one rigid and one flexible — conceived to adapt automatically to the installation substrate. The DuoPower plug activates different expansion, knotting or folding mechanisms depending on the surface type, ensuring reliable performance on concrete, solid and hollow brick, natural stone and drywall. The same range also includes DuoSeal, developed for humid environments and surfaces exposed to water, DuoBlade for lightweight drywall applications and DuoXpand for through-fixings intended for window frames and metal structures.
Fischer’s offering also includes
fastening systems for external thermal insulation composite systems and ventilated façades, such as the FIF-SV II fixing for EPS and mineral wool insulation panels, the Termoz 6H fastening for timber structures and the DIPK II system for ventilated façades and insulated cladding systems. Alongside plastic fixings, the company develops a complete range of
high-performance metal anchors for structural applications and heavy-duty loads. The FAZ II PLUS line, available in galvanized steel and stainless steel, is certified for cracked concrete applications and seismic environments, while the FAZ II HCR model provides superior corrosion resistance in aggressive environments. For
chemical fixings and structural installations, Fischer offers the FIS series of two-component cartridge resins used for heavy-duty anchoring, reinforcement and structural connections. The FIS EM epoxy resin is designed for high-performance applications, while FIS Green introduces components derived from biomaterials intended for sustainable construction. The catalog is completed by the RSB line of capsule chemical anchors, engineered to reduce material waste and ensure installation precision even under seismic loads.
Fischer: history, innovation and professional fastening systems
The history of Fischer began in post-war Germany in 1948, when the Fischer family launched a small business dedicated to the production of technical components. Over the decades, the company progressively expanded its international presence while maintaining family ownership and investing in technological research applied to fastening systems. Today the Fischer Group operates in 38 countries and develops solutions for the construction, plant engineering and professional building sectors. In Italy, the brand has been active since 1963 through Fischer Italia, headquartered in Padua, where both the research and development department and a technical training center for designers, installers and industry professionals are located.
Alongside fastening systems, Fischer manufactures a wide range of
sealants, polyurethane foams and technical adhesives for professional and residential applications. The
Megamax line includes high-expansion polyurethane foams for filling and insulation, while the PUP series offers specific formulations for low temperatures, window frames and roofing systems. The company also provides a broad range of silicones and acrylic sealants intended for construction, waterproofing and interior and exterior finishing. Among the most notable are SAS sanitary silicones, SAC transparent sealants and SB bituminous products for metal roofing and moisture-exposed surfaces. The attention dedicated to safety, ease of installation and compatibility with different construction materials has enabled Fischer to develop an integrated system of technical solutions aimed at designers, contractors and installers. The continuous updating of product ranges, together with ongoing research into materials, mechanical resistance and sustainability, confirms the company’s role within the international landscape of fastening systems and technologies for contemporary construction.
