Bolts, Nuts, Screws, Rivets & Washers

SIC 3452 covers manufacturers and distributors of bolts, nuts, screws, rivets, and washers that anchor everything from aerospace assemblies and automotive platforms to construction hardware, industrial machinery, and energy infrastructure, supplying OEMs, maintenance providers, and fastener wholesalers with standard and custom fastening systems, coatings, and kitting services. The industry operates under tight material-traceability, torque-spec, and worker-safety standards, while navigating import tariffs, volatile steel and specialty alloy costs, and exposure to geopolitical supply chain disruptions. In 2024-2025, demand is shaped by reshoring of critical components, automation on production lines, lightweight and corrosion-resistant alloys for EVs and renewable projects, and digital inventory programs that shorten lead times for MRO buyers. Quality lapses or counterfeits remain major risks, driving investment in testing, certification, and vendor audits.
