Precision Cold-Formed Fasteners for the Hardware Industry

At Spartan Fastener, we have spent decades perfecting the production of precision-engineered solutions specifically tailored for the global hardware sector. As a leading manufacturer of cold-formed parts and fasteners, we recognize that hardware components, whether designed for retail, industrial, or residential applications, must strike a delicate balance between extreme durability and cost-effective production. Our team leverages state-of-the-art technology to produce high-quality cold-formed fasteners that consistently meet the rigorous standards of global hardware distributors and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

The hardware industry requires a vast and diverse range of components, each with unique specifications for strength, finish, and geometry. Spartan Fastener specializes in the high-volume production of specialized cold-formed fasteners such as shoulder rivets, semi-tubular rivets, and specialty pins. These essential cold-formed parts are critical for the assembly of hinges, pivoting mechanisms, locking systems, and structural hardware. If your hardware design requires a non-standard shape or intricate head geometry, our engineering team can develop custom cold-formed parts that provide superior performance while eliminating the significant metal waste associated with traditional CNC machining.

Our unique strengths include:

• High-speed equipment, including six-die, six-blow cold heading machines.
• Cost-competitive with import pricing.
• Most advanced inspection and sorting equipment available in the fastener industry, including LaserLab and Mectron Sorter in-house.
• In-house tooling capabilities for more effective R&D and faster delivery times. Other suppliers may require extra time to outsource tooling work.
• We work with a variety of different alloys and materials, including lesser-used materials such as aluminum, brass, copper, stainless steel, and low-carbon steel.

There are distinct advantages to choosing cold-formed fasteners for hardware manufacturing. By shaping metal at room temperature, the cold-heading process rearranges the grain structure of the material rather than cutting through it. This results in cold-formed parts with superior tensile and shear strength, ensuring they can withstand heavy loads and repetitive use over a long lifecycle. Furthermore, because the process uses nearly 100% of the raw material, producing cold-formed fasteners is an incredibly cost-efficient alternative to machining. This efficiency allows our domestic manufacturing facility to remain highly cost-competitive with import pricing while maintaining a much higher level of quality control than overseas alternatives.

The versatility of our process ensures your cold-formed fasteners are perfectly suited for their specific environment. Whether your project requires the corrosion resistance of stainless steel for marine hardware, the lightweight properties of aluminum, or the conductivity of brass and copper, we have the expertise to deliver. Our high-speed machines ensure extreme repeatability, meaning every one of your cold-formed parts is identical to the last. This consistency is vital for clients who rely on high-speed automated assembly lines where even a minor deviation can cause significant downtime.

Choosing Spartan Fastener means partnering with a facility committed to the highest levels of quality management. With our ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949:2016 certifications, we provide a level of oversight that is unmatched in the production of cold-formed parts. Whether you are looking to reduce piece costs, improve part quality, or shorten your supply chain lead times, Spartan Fastener is your dedicated partner for high-volume, high-precision cold-formed fasteners!
