Fasteners with patches

A patch is a pre-applied, dry-to-touch thread feature added on the fastener either as a dot or as a layer wrapping completely around it. Patches are there to create locking, sealing or anti-seize features.

Many different kind of patches can be applied, e.g. nylon and micro-encapsulated patches.

Complex cold forged parts

This category cover products that we produce via cold forming (and possible added machining) which are not necessarily traditional fasteners. These products often pushes the limits to what can be achieved via cold forging – and not seldom we can achieve material savings as well as cost savings by our cold forging process.


Customer solutions

Bulten can produce a number of customized fastener solutions.
