Continental-Aero

Continental-Aero celebrates 75 Years serving the Fastener Industry as the premier stocking master distributor of nylon insert locknuts, all-metal locknuts, clinch nuts and finished hex nuts. Supplying the North American distributor market with superior service and value added secondary operations, it’s easy to see why Continental-Aero is the go-to for all your fastener needs since 1948. Continental-Aero was formed in 1987 with the merger of Continental Fasteners Inc. and Aero Stop Nut. At the time, both companies were the leading US importers of all-metal and nylon insert locknuts. With the merger of these two prestigous companies, Continental-Aero was born - and a new powerhouse in the all-metal and nylon insert locknut marketplace was established. The trademark “Royal Purple Nylon Insert” was a feature carried over from the original Continental Fasteners, and remains to this day as an instantly recognizable brand feature, signifying quality at it’s highest. Continental-Aero conducts an extensive supplier approval process to ensure all quality requirements are met, in an effort to guaranteee that the Purple Nylon Insert Locknuts are only supplied from the best fastener manufacturers in the world. Many of Continental-Aero’s suppliers have been with them for over 40 years. It is the effort that is put in to maintaining these long-standing relationships with their major suppliers that provides Continental-Aero with its competitive advantage, making them an invaluable partner for the North American distributor market. Operating on a national scale, Continental-Aero maintains stocking warehouses strategically located throughout the United States. This extensive network of warehouses and sales offices enables Continental-Aero’s customers to be competitive with timely, cost-effective delivery and regional customer service. As Continental-Aero sells exclusively to distributors, factors such as competitive pricing, reliable quality, and timely delivery, are critical to long-term success - something

which Continental-Aero has been able to perfect over its long history. Over the last 75 years, Continental-Aero has maintained an exceptionally high level of customer service, constantly going above and beyond to help customers by sourcing hard-to-find products required for their niche applications. While nylon insert locknuts were its feature product historically, the current day Continental-Aero is able to provide a wide range of products, secondary operations, value added services, customer service, and aftersales care that are second-to-none.
