Pacific Bolt Manufacturing

What Pacific Bolt Manufacturing does

Pacific Bolt Manufacturing is a privately held Canadian manufacturer and distributor of bolts, nuts, washers, and specialty fasteners, headquartered in Langley Township, British Columbia. Operating as Pacific Bolt Ltd. since its 1988 re-establishment following the closure of parent Western Canada Steel, the firm traces operational roots to around 1900 on Granville Island, Vancouver. Pacific Bolt holds the position of the largest bolt manufacturer in Western Canada, with 50+ years of experience supplying fasteners to major regional infrastructure and construction projects.

The company operates an integrated production chain spanning shearing (up to 2" diameter), sawing (up to 8" round bar), threading (cut threads 1/2" to 3" imperial, CNC threading 1/4" to 5" imperial, and Lenton threading 10mm to 35mm), CNC and manual machining (Okuma lathe, Mitsui Seiki horizontal mill, Haas VF2 vertical mill, EDM, surface grinding), pointing, hot forging (1/2" to 2-3/4" diameter via a 90+ year forging department with 200+ die sets), cold and hot bending, and packaging/kitting. Core products include forged bolts, anchor bolts, concrete products, tie rod turn buckle clevis assemblies, nuts and washers, A394 tower and step bolts, and ERICO Lenton rebar splicing couplers. All manufacturing uses 100% domestic steel, with non-domestic production sourced from Canadian or American manufacturers before any imports.

Revenue is generated through direct sales to construction contractors and through a network of fastener distributors and master distributors. Pricing is quote-based, determined by specifications, quantities, materials, and finishes, with full keg and carton options for distributors. Key differentiators include same-day delivery on stock items, overnight emergency manufacturing, 400+ tons of raw material inventory, and project-based service including kitting, testing, quality control, and documentation. Documented customers include the Golden Ears Bridge (600,000+ lbs of A490 structural bolts), Coquitlam Filtration Project, Granville Bridge Seismic Upgrade, and the Northwest Transmission Line ($404M project). The firm is privately held with no disclosed external investment, no public listing, and no parent company.
