National Aerospace Fasteners

What National Aerospace Fasteners does

National Aerospace Fasteners Corporation (NAFCO; 豐達科技股份有限公司; TWSE: 3004) is a Taiwan-headquartered precision fastener manufacturer founded in October 1997, specializing in aerospace engine fasteners (bolts, nuts, CNC-machined components), automotive fasteners, and high-end industrial precision components. The company holds NADCAP, AS9100, IATF16949, and ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certifications, and is qualified as a supplier to all four major global aerospace engine OEMs — GE Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, and Safran Group — with more than 9,000 individually certified part numbers in production. Operations span three manufacturing bases: the Taoyuan, Taiwan headquarters, a Shanghai, China production facility, and a wholly-owned Malaysian subsidiary, MY NAFCO Precision Sdn. Bhd., whose new M2 factory (18,252 sqm) broke ground in January 2026 with H1 2028 production start.

NAFCO generates revenue through direct B2B sales of custom-designed, specification-driven fasteners and precision components to aerospace OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, with multi-year contract cadences and negotiated pricing rather than a public catalog. The company supplements its aerospace core with automotive fasteners (pull caps, rivet studs, copper nuts, high-temperature resistant nuts) and customized industrial products. Marketing and customer acquisition rely on long supplier qualification cycles, OEM audits, conference presence (Yuanta, KGI investor events), and a corporate website with investor relations rather than consumer-facing demand generation.

In FY2025, NAFCO reported consolidated revenue of NT$4.055 billion (≈US$125–130M), up 15.80% YoY, with after-tax net profit of NT$330.95 million (NT$5.85 EPS) and total assets of NT$8.058 billion. Headcount stands at 800+, led by Chairman Tsai Feng-Tzu (蔡豐聰) and General Manager Lin Wei-Cun (林威村). The most significant near-term strategic initiatives are the Malaysia M2 capacity expansion (a China+1 diversification move), the broadening Safran relationship into forgings, and the recently recognized GE Aerospace 'Excellence in Supplier Partnership Award' (November 2025).
