Sweden's Nord-Lock Completes Acquisition of UK Fastener Manufacturer

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 9, Sweden's Nord-Lock Group announced that it has completed the acquisition of UK specialty fastener manufacturer Bolt & Nut Manufacturing Ltd. The company, based in Wolverhampton, UK, primarily produces specialized bolts and non-standard fasteners, with annual revenue exceeding GBP 17 million. Following the completion of the acquisition, Nord-Lock will establish a specialty fastener business unit, integrating the manufacturing technologies, product portfolios, and service capabilities of Bolt & Nut and Energy Bolting.

Founded in 2008, Bolt & Nut primarily produces high-performance fasteners for industrial sectors including oil and gas, petrochemicals, power generation, nuclear energy, and defense. Its manufacturing operations cover specialty bolts and non-standard connectors, with material selection, dimensional design, and machining tailored to customer requirements. Products must meet the strength, corrosion resistance, and safety requirements of various industrial equipment and critical connection points.

In terms of manufacturing processes, Bolt & Nut has capabilities including hot forging, CNC turning, milling, and thread rolling, and is equipped with in-house laboratory and product testing facilities. The company also has material traceability and product certification capabilities, and can supply fastener products that comply with the technical specifications of industrial projects. The newly established specialty fastener business unit will focus on serving the non-standard, safety-critical connector market, providing custom manufacturing, product certification, and technical support.

The integration will also incorporate the specialized expertise and service resources of Energy Bolting. The company is also based in Wolverhampton, UK, and primarily provides specialty fasteners and related industrial connection solutions. Nord-Lock had previously brought Energy Bolting into the group's business system, and this transaction arrangement also includes the acquisition of its remaining 25% equity stake. The business integration of the two companies will form a UK business platform covering specialty bolt manufacturing, fastener supply, and industrial connection technology services.

The new business unit will focus on serving industries including power generation, nuclear energy, oil and gas, petrochemicals, and defense. These sectors have high requirements for fastener material performance, dimensional precision, product traceability, and delivery reliability, and some non-standard products also require custom production according to the specific technical conditions of equipment and engineering projects.
