Perhaps you heard of Pewag\'s now famous black \"3012\" chain. Well, that chain was designed for heavy equipment as a snow/traction chain, and while it made for a very strong and imposing security chain, it was prone to rusting. It had no rust-prohibitive finish on it, because whatever surface rust it accumulated really made no difference in its service life as a traction chain. But once so many people started to adopt 3012 as a security chain Pewag later created the 3012 in an electro galvanized weatherproof silver finish.This Is the BEST SECURITY CHAIN you can get for the money.
- Square, case-hardened links resist attack better than round links.
- Cannot be cut with bolt cutters as square link shape does not allow bolt cutters to get a proper bite or grip, which prevents cutting the chain.
- Requires tremendous effort to cut, a great theft deterrent. Pretty much need large and loud power tools such as an angle grinder and a vise and takes a long time.
- Clean, polished finish, electro galvanized silver finish which is weatherproof, rust proof.
- Tested and proven as a heavy equipment snow/traction chain, yet now incredibly popular as an anti-theft security chain for bikes, motorcycles and other property.
- Surface Hardness: 62 HRC Min. | 750 HV10

After 535 years of operation, Austrian chain manufacturer Pewag starts U.S. manufacturing - investing $10 million and hiring 55 employees
On May 3, 2014 pewag opened the doors of its first manufacturing facility outside of Europe: $10 million invested in a 55,000 square foot greenfield tire chain plant with 55 initial employees located in Pueblo, Colorado.Pewag had always kept its manufacturing operations close to home in Europe, where it has produced the snow chains, industrial chains and tire protection chains for which it\'s renowned. For 39 years, Pewag has also maintained a North American headquarters and multiple distribution centers. Driven by the company\'s success in the U.S., it identified the need to provide quicker response and shorter delivery times and to reduce costs for its North American customers.Meeting the need proved to offer unique challenges. According to Mike Uhrenbacher, President of Pewag\'s North American operations, \"In Europe we have multiple manufacturing plants and a very experienced workforce. In the U.S., we need to create and foster a new manufacturing team that will have the same level of expertise as our Austrian colleagues. The greatest challenge is to find the right people for the team and to keep moving forward with confidence, even when you experience delays or setbacks.”Whereas pewag was able to purchase much equipment for the Pueblo plant in the U.S., the company still had to transport some specialized equipment from Europe, where the chain manufacturing industry is more robust. Yet Uhrenbach, who has changed the chain market in the U.S. by working directly with such key accounts as UPS, FedEx and the U.S. military, is unfazed by the complexity. \"As a business leader, you have to have a clear vision of your company\'s future and be willing to take a risk at trying something different.\"
