What Patriot Bolt does

Patriot Bolt and Fastener, LLC (DBA Patriot Bolt) is a US-based, ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer and distributor of specialty industrial fasteners founded in May 2018 in Humble, Texas. The company designs, produces, and sells specialty bolts (socket head cap screws, heavy hex head bolts, 12-point flange bolts, shoulder bolts, hex head cap screws, carriage bolts, set screws, button head cap screws, flat head socket cap screws), stud bolts, nuts, washers, gaskets, fastener coatings, and thread lubricants for enterprise customers in the oil and gas, broader energy, and aerospace sectors — targeting drilling rigs, pipelines, refineries, petrochemical facilities, power plants, and aerospace equipment that require high-strength, corrosion-resistant fastening under extreme temperature and pressure.

The company's technical platform combines in-house CNC bolt manufacturing with in-house heat treatment and tempering using a calibrated furnace, enabling ASTM B7M exact specification conformance and 100% in-house hardness testing. Its principal proprietary technology is MetalTrace®, a trademarked mill test report (MTR) software that provides online traceability and quality-control documentation for every component. A dual-facility footprint in Humble, TX (headquarters plus CNC manufacturing) and Youngsville, LA (via the wholly-owned Patriot Fluid Transfer Solutions subsidiary, established November 2022) supports Gulf Coast and broader US enterprise distribution.

Patriot Bolt operates a direct enterprise B2B sales motion with quote-based pricing, a website Quick Quote form with file upload, 24/7 phone and email availability, and named account managers reporting to a VP of Sales. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of specialty fasteners and complementary consumables (coatings, lubricants, FSI authorized replacement parts). The company is privately held and founder-owned — Kris Kolb serves as CEO and Founder, with Andrea Kolb as HR Director and co-founder — and no external institutional investment or private equity backing is disclosed. The firm has appeared on the Inc. 5000 list for four consecutive years (2022–2025), reporting 218% three-year revenue growth in 2025.
