The Ohio Nut and Bolt Company

Company History:

The Ohio Nut and Bolt Company, represented under the name Buckeye Fasteners Company, is a leading supplier and manufacturer of weld fasteners since 1905. The Ohio Nut & Bolt Co., founded in 1905, started as a bicycle chain manufacturer, then moved into the manufacturing of weld screws in 1926. One of their first major weld fastener customers was the Ford Motor Company, who used Ohio weld screws on the frame of the Model A to provide easier assembly of the fenders. The company was instrumental in the expansion of weld screws and weld nuts in the 1930’s and was recognized by the US War Department for their important “ahead of schedule” production during WW II.

Every Good Weld Starts Here:

Buckeye Fasteners is truly a hidden gem in Northeast Ohio. Fasteners are critical in our society, as they hold together everything from cars to refrigerators. In a car, there can be hundreds of different weld fasteners. Buckeye serves tier 1 and tier 2 suppliers, as its parts end up in larger assemblies. This ranges from the hinge assembly in the trunk to brake assemblies to parts of a gas tank for a major motorcycle maker.

Buckeye Fasteners has continued a legacy of excellence throughout the past 111 years. What started as a bicycle manufacturer has become so much more, servicing a variety of industries. Buckeye continues to look toward the future and our team of engineers develops custom solutions to the most complex manufacturing challenges.
