Acument Global Technologies Inc. marked the first 50-years of its Continental Midland LLC company as a Torx drive system licensee. 

Continental Midland became a licensee in 1966 when the two companies were known as Camcar Screw & Manufacturing Company and Continental Screw Company. 

Continental Midland president Phli Johnson said the “award demonstrates our commitment to innovation in the fastener marketplace servicing automotive, commercial vehicle and industrial markets for over 100 years. CMG has a proud history of innovation in the marketplace and we are committed to working with our premier partners to continue to drive innovation and productivity into our markets. Torx is one of the best known brands in the market and we are excited to be a leading global partner.” 

Marty Bieschke, director of IP & Licensing, described Torx as “still one of the most important product licensing programs in the global fastening industry” and added that “Continental Midland has continued, for all these years, to see the value of this product’s contribution to their reputation as one of the leaders in the industry.” 

Since its introduction in the 1960s, Torx is a high-performance drive system for threaded assemblies in a broad range of applications and end-use markets in numerous assembly situations.  Qualified licensed manufacturers apply Torx and Acument’s Torx Plus drive system for applications in automotive, industrial, electronics, aerospace, and other markets.  For license information: Acument.com/licensing/index.asp.
