How to source an exceptional fastener manufacturing partner
The procurement of fasteners can be a challenging task, especially when the supply chain is disrupted. OEMs have come to rely heavily on supply chains running efficiently as it is a crucial role in the purchasing process, with expectations that their products would be delivered on time and in good condition.

When disruptions occur — such as port delays or global events — it can create a domino effect that hurts the entire supply chain. This can lead to delays in production, increased costs and ultimately a loss of revenue for companies. No matter where the delay originated from, it will have a detrimental impact on businesses relying on fastener products to arrive on time from overseas suppliers.

To mitigate this exposure, companies should look to onshoring some higher visibility products. National Bolt & Nut Corporation (NBN) is a leading manufacturer in the fastening industry, and the company is relentless in overcoming their customer’s biggest frustrations.

Strict quality practices
NBN’s dedication to quality is evident in their ISO 9001:2015 certification, ensuring that all products meet the highest standards. The company has a quality management system registered and compliant with ISO 9001:2015 as its quality system standard. This standard provides customers peace of mind that a consistent manufacturing process and documentation will yield quality-per-print parts every time. It also ensures that products and outside service vendors follow all necessary regulatory requirements, thus guaranteeing consistent fit, form and function.

High adaptability
NBN specializes in quick lead times on both long and short runs, and can even accommodate 24-hour emergency services in line-down situations. This means customers can safely say goodbye to overseas disruptions and trust a reliable, domestic source for virtually any fastener needs.

NBN’s large distribution facility has the capability to warehouse and release the buyer’s estimated annual usage (EAU) over a 12-month period. The company can also quickly fulfill warehoused orders within the same day while keeping their customers’ production running smoothly.

A mutually trustworthy partnership
For close to 30 years, NBN has refrained from including any material and hardness callouts or any design recommendations during the estimating process. Typically, an OEM engineer that knows and understands a fastener’s true end-use application and climate has already made these critical decisions on the blueprint.

NBN’s expertise lies in the production of high-precision components meeting all customer drawings, blueprints and material callouts, as well as certifying that parts manufactured per an OEM’s purchase order meets all criteria called out on a customer’s print. Additionally, full material, hardness and plating certifications accompany every production shipment.

NBN’s entire team relies heavily on valued customers and their repeat and referral business. NBN’s quality policy is committed to the following principles:

• NBN will meet or exceed their contractual obligations for product quality
• NBN will deliver all products on or before the agreed delivery date
• NBN will seek to continuously improve their products, processes and systems
• NBN will become an industry leader by exceeding customer expectations
