Hi-Tech Fastener Corporation

What Hi-Tech Fastener Corporation does

Hi-Tech Fastener Corporation is a privately held, third-generation family-owned manufacturer and distributor of industrial fasteners, headquartered in a 20,000-square-foot facility in South Chicago Heights, Illinois. Founded in 1986 by Jim Davis and his son Jeff Davis, the company produces cold-headed fasteners including screws, bolts, studs, pins, and rivets from carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, aluminum, and silicon bronze, and complements its domestic production with imported fastener distribution to offer blended domestic-and-import solutions. The customer base is U.S. industrial buyers served via a B2B, sales-led motion.

Production relies on 27 multi-station cold heading machines (forming diameters from 0.090 to 0.625 inches and lengths up to 5 inches), 18 thread rolling machines, and an in-house tool and die shop that supports rapid tooling changes and shorter lead times. Secondary operations include milling, slotting, turning, grinding, and straight-and-cut processing, and quality is supported by an in-house QC laboratory offering dimensional inspection, mechanical testing, PPAP documentation, and sample retention. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and operates from a single U.S. site with a planned 10,000-square-foot expansion.

Revenue is generated through direct B2B sales of manufactured and distributed fasteners and through manufacturing services such as sorting, kitting, poly-bagging, prototyping, PPAP, JIT delivery, and Vendor Managed Inventory. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is conducted by phone (708.709.3100), email ([email protected]), online quote forms, and direct outreach, with digital remarketing through NextRoll added as a supplementary demand-capture channel. The company employs 16 full-time staff and reports no external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries.
