Marine Fasteners

What Marine Fasteners does

Marine Fasteners is a US division operating under W\u00fcrth Industry USA, which is itself the US subsidiary of the German W\u00fcrth Group (Allgemeine W\u00fcrth-Orderlogistik). Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Sanford, USA with 251-500 employees, the trade name specializes in stainless steel and nonferrous fasteners along with engineered assembly components, serving marine/maritime operators (primary), heavy equipment and agriculture manufacturers, military/defense contractors, and broader industrial manufacturing and construction customers.

The core product portfolio spans standard, specialty, structural, stainless steel, and military-specification fasteners, with complementary offerings in personal protective equipment, MRO supplies and equipment, and metalworking/tooling. Technology and service infrastructure includes the CADalog digital catalog platform, Kanban-based inventory replenishment, automated vending solutions for point-of-use consumables, kitting and assembly, industrial additive manufacturing and 3D printing services, asset intelligence/tracking, CAD services, third-party logistics, and a testing laboratory for quality control and supplier certification. Distribution is direct and consultative: sales-led motion runs through phone (1-877-999-8784) and email ([email protected]), supported by branch locations and LTL freight delivery; online ordering has been discontinued.

Revenue is generated across three streams: transactional fastener product sales, recurring inventory management solutions (Kanban and vending), and engineering and quality professional services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Customer concentration sits primarily in the marine/maritime vertical, with secondary demand from military-specification requirements and industrial manufacturers. The entity carries no independent financial disclosures; ownership is concentrated under the privately held, family-controlled W\u00fcrth Group.
