Global Fastener Products
Material Specialist is More Than a Fastener Supplier
Some fastener problems cannot be solved by searching a larger catalog.
Material Specialist specializes in being your solution partner for complex fasteners and metal components — products requiring more than simply matching a description to a part number. Maybe it’s a…
- custom cold headed component
- A screw machined item made to print
- An unusual material, dimension or finish
- A recurring quality problem
- A product that has become too expensive
- Or a part your existing supplier simply cannot deliver reliably
Send us the requirement. Our job isn't simply to find a factory. Our job is to deliver the right part.

For customers managing both metric and imperial requirements, Material Specialist can consolidate multiple product families into coordinated supply programs.
Custom Packaging & Private Label
The product doesn't necessarily have to arrive in somebody else's box. Material Specialist offers custom packaged hardware and private-label packaging programs for distributors. Packaging can be developed around the distributor's market, quantities and branding requirements. The distributor's identity remains front and center.
Your customer sees your company — not our overseas factory.
Reliable Quality
Reliable quality means receiving products that meet every specified requirement -consistently, shipment after shipment. Quality cannot simply be inspected into a product after manufacturing is complete.
Before Production
We review applicable drawings, specifications, materials, dimensions, tolerances, mechanical requirements, coatings, finishes, packaging and documentation before production begins.
During Production
We monitor and inspect products during manufacturing, when potential problems can still be identified and corrected.
After Production
Completed products are inspected and tested against the agreed requirements before shipment. When appropriate, qualified independent laboratories provide additional testing and verification.
We inspect and test before, during and after production.
