Every claim we make,
we can prove it.
Five certified management systems, an in-house laboratory, and a batch-level traceability chain that runs from the incoming wire coil to the sealed carton on your dock. This is how a fastener earns the right to be trusted.
A quality system built for customer audits
Our quality system is built for customers who audit: automotive OEMs, medical-adjacent electronics and industrial primes. Each certificate below maps to a procedure our team runs daily, not to a frame on the wall.
| Certification | Standard family | What it governs in our plant |
|---|---|---|
| ISO 9001 | Quality management | End-to-end QMS across design review, purchasing, production, inspection and delivery. |
| IATF 16949 | Automotive | Automotive-grade APQP, PPAP, special-characteristic management, MSA and SPC discipline. |
| ISO 14001 | Environmental | Management of process chemicals, waste streams and energy across forming and finishing lines. |
| ISO 45001 | Occupational health & safety | Safe operation of headers, furnaces, presses and plating lines, which protects the people who make your parts. |
| IECQ QC 080000 | Hazardous-substance process (HSPM) | RoHS/REACH control of incoming materials, finishes and final product, backed by documented declarations. |
Additionally, TORX® and TORX PLUS® drive systems are manufactured under license from Acument Intellectual Properties, LLC. The geometry is licensed and verifiable, not imitated.
How we verify strength in the lab
An in-house laboratory means we do not wait weeks for an external report. Every development lot and every critical batch is tested against the property your drawing actually requires.
Metallographic analysis
Grain-flow mapping through the head and thread, decarburization checks and microstructure verification. This is the evidence behind any fatigue claim.
Hardness testing
Vickers and Rockwell mapping across every heat-treated lot, plus microhardness traverses for case and core verification.
Tensile & proof load
Ultimate tensile, yield and proof-load testing to ISO and ASTM methods, including wedge testing of bolt heads.
Salt-spray corrosion
Neutral and cyclic salt-spray runs up to 60 days to qualify anodizing, zinc, zinc-nickel and specialty coatings for real environments.
Friction & torque-tension
Torque-tension curves tuned per drive, coating and lubricant, so your assembly line hits clamp load the first time.
RoHS / REACH chemistry
XRF screening and wet-chemistry verification confirm restricted-substance compliance down to the coating and sealant layer.
Geometry & runout
CMM and optical measurement of thread forms, seating faces, concentricity and drive depth on critical dimensions.
High-speed CCD sorting
Inline optical inspection on high-volume lines verifies every dimension, drive and surface feature, with no sampling gamble.
Six quality gates on every order
Defects are stopped at the gate where they are born, not sorted out at the end. Every production order passes through six mandatory gates.
Chemical certificate verified against the heat number before a single coil or rod is released to the floor.
Full dimensional FAI on set-up before the line starts. No approval, no production.
Shift sampling is plotted on control charts, so drift is caught while it is still a trend and not yet a scrap lot.
Every furnace lot is hardness-tested and metallurgically reviewed before it may move downstream.
CCD optical sorting plus torque and dimensional audits on finished, coated parts.
Batch labels, CoC and retained samples travel with the goods.
Traceability
from wire coil to your line
When a question reaches the factory floor, whether a torque concern, a coating debate or a field report, we can walk it backwards in minutes: which heat of material, which header, which furnace batch, which coating lot.
- Certificate of Conformance with every shipment
- Material certificates linked to heat numbers
- Retained samples archived per production lot
- PPAP Level 3 documentation on request
