48 THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK Nucor Fastener PO Box 6100, St. Joe, IN 46785 Toll-Free: 1-800-955-6826 Fax: 260-337-1726 www.nucor-fastener.com NUCOR FASTENER: WE SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF In the 1980s, the American fastener industry faced chaos. International competition forced companies to flee the business. While others ran, Nucor dug in. Rather than acquire an existing fastener plant and inherit its inefficiencies, Nucor built a state-of-the-art manufacturing operation in St. Joe, Ind. We formed our first bolt in 1986, and today, we can manufacture 75,000 tons of bolts and nuts annually. We control the manufacturing process from start to finish, including wire processing (annealing/ pickling), forming, heat treat, inspection, packaging and warehousing. And since our dedicated steel source is Nucor Nebraska, we know our steel’s history before it even arrives. Expanded Product Line, Painstaking Attention Our capability ranges from 1/4” (M6) diameter through 1-1/4” (M30), in lengths up to 10” (250mm). Our production takes place almost entirely within our 500,000- square-foot facility. Our large number of boltmakers provide capacity to meet customer needs, allowing for redundancy across all sizes. In fact, when it comes to producing bolt diameters 3/4” (M20) and larger, we have one of the world’s largest capacities. We manufacture high-quality hex head cap screws, finished hex nuts, structural bolts, nuts, assemblies and flange bolts. We’ve also expanded our product line to include build-to-print fasteners. The detailed and painstaking attention we give to the smallest details has consistently yielded the biggest results for our customers. We customize head styles, dimensions, grades and finishes to meet individual specifications. And through strategic alliances with processors, we accommodate special finishes, patches, adhesives and other secondary processing requests. Rigorous Testing for Quality We test all our production lots to ensure absolute quality. Throughout the manufacturing process, we utilize inprocess controls and conduct mechanical and dimensional audits to continuously monitor our quality. Final inspections are conducted in our accredited lab prior to packaging. please turn to page 164
