<strong>COMPANY</strong> HISTORY:<br />
Alken-Ziegler is the largest privately<br />
held cold forming company<br />
in the United States. We are a<br />
multifaceted company that offers<br />
parts forming, precision machining<br />
and tool & die services to a<br />
wide variety of customers in the<br />
Americas, Europe and Asia. We<br />
are also a three-time recipient of<br />
the General Motors Supplier of the<br />
Year award.<br />
Since 1969, Alken-Ziegler has<br />
been a leader in the manufacture<br />
of high quality cold formed and<br />
machined parts. The company<br />
now maintains two locations, one<br />
in Taylor, MI and the other in Kettering,<br />
OH. Corporate headquarters<br />
is located at our automotive<br />
OEM manufacturing campus in<br />
Taylor. This facility is the center<br />
of our forming and secondary<br />
machining operations.<br />
For many years the automotive<br />
OEM and Tier 1 companies have<br />
depended upon independent screw<br />
machine companies to supply<br />
complex parts. In many cases<br />
screw machining came at a higher<br />
cost because of large amounts of<br />
material waste. This translated<br />
into higher prices. Cold forming<br />
offered an attractive solution.<br />
The cold forming process provides<br />
a more efficient use of raw<br />
materials by moving the metal<br />
into its final form with little or<br />
no waste. Parts produced by cold<br />
forming also possess superior<br />
mechanical properties, achieved<br />
by cold working the metal as it is<br />
being formed. If precision tolerances<br />
are required, they can be<br />
achieved with minimal secondary<br />
machining.<br />

MISSION STATMENT:<br />
Teamwork is the key ingredient<br />
in the “Beneke attitude”, everyone<br />
working for a common goal,<br />
the success of the customer, plus<br />
a shared pride in the quality of<br />
their work and the quality of the<br />
end product.<br />
<strong>COMPANY</strong> HISTORY:<br />
Over forty years ago, Chuck<br />
Beneke had a vision. He believed<br />
there was a strong demand for<br />
high-quality, custom-produced<br />
aluminum wire. He was certain<br />
customers would respond<br />
to the idea of aluminum wire<br />
manufactured to fit their specific<br />
requirements. He was right. In<br />
1968 this wire industry pioneer<br />
joined with his son J. David<br />
Beneke and founded Beneke<br />
Wire Company.<br />
Beneke Wire Company started<br />
producing small orders of extremely<br />
high-quality aluminum<br />
wire. Great attention was paid to<br />
the alloy, the finish and the rigid<br />
tolerances. More importantly,<br />
the company worked to produce<br />
wire that would improve their<br />
customer’s production process.<br />
By creating the right treatment or<br />
finish, Beneke Wire customers<br />
could possibly eliminate certain<br />
steps in their manufacturing,<br />
thus making a better end product<br />
at reduced production costs.<br />
This “partnership” between the<br />
Beneke engineering staff and<br />
the customer is a key ingredient<br />
to the success of the entire<br />
operation.<br />
David Beneke succeeded his father<br />
as president of the company<br />
in 1983 and he has continued to<br />
emphasize the traditions of value<br />
and service that has helped Beneke<br />
Wire grow into a world leader in<br />
aluminum wire production.<br />
TODAY AND THE FUTURE:<br />
The next generation of the Beneke<br />
family is actively working within<br />
the corporation. Michael and<br />
Stephen Beneke are now part of<br />
the executive management team,<br />
working to assure continuity<br />
within the company for years to<br />
come. The same core values established<br />
by Chuck Beneke forty<br />
plus years ago have been passed<br />
on to this new, successful team of<br />
company management.<br />
Beneke Wire Company continues<br />
to grow. With more than<br />
200,000 square feet of manufacturing<br />
space, Beneke provides<br />
aluminum wire to its customers<br />
worldwide.<br />
PRODUCTS:<br />
Beneke Wire Company offers the<br />
most complete range of aluminum<br />
wire products on the market to an<br />
international customer base. All<br />
major aluminum alloys, both heattreatable<br />
and non-heat-treatable,<br />
in a variety of tempers and drawn<br />
to exacting tolerances are available.<br />
When you order wire from<br />
Beneke, you get more than a coil<br />
of wire. You receive the highest<br />
level of experience and pride in<br />
every package.<br />
SERVICES OFFERED:<br />
With growth such as experienced<br />
at Beneke, comes new challenges<br />
and a search for new knowledge.<br />
This search is the function of the<br />
technical department at Beneke.<br />
Customers receive metallurgical<br />
and engineering services unsurpassed<br />
anywhere in the industry,<br />
including product analysis, inspection<br />
and testing of raw materials<br />
and trial orders. Also available<br />
is Beneke’s participation in the<br />
PPAP program as required by the<br />
customer. All of this support is<br />
designed to ensure that the end<br />
product performs as intended.<br />
QUALITY:<br />
The “Beneke attitude”, the company’s<br />
partnership approach, along<br />
with its vision and the effort of<br />
its employees has helped make<br />
Beneke Wire a qualified ISO<br />
9001-2000 company.<br />

INNOVATIONS:<br />
COVENTYA research has been able<br />
to substitute Cadmium depositions<br />
and associate different concentrations<br />
of Zinc-Nickel with hexavalent-free<br />
passivations such as the PERFORMA<br />
line with a high concentration of 12-<br />
15% Nickel.<br />
COVENTYA was one of the first<br />
companies to introduce trivalent passivates<br />
to the Automotive Industry in<br />
1997. LANTHANE 310 was the first<br />
passivate to be approved by Renault<br />
and Opel. This was followed by LAN-<br />
THANE TR 175, which is now the<br />
world’s most popular nano-particle<br />
based trivalent passivate.<br />
Both of the products were crucial in<br />
the efforts of replacing hexavalent<br />
chromates with high performance<br />
trivalent passivates.<br />
We also introduced Performa Membrane<br />
Systems for use in alkaline<br />
Zinc-Nickel electrolytes to prevent<br />
the formation of detrimental by-products<br />
from forming at the anode during<br />
electrolysis. These membranes are synonymous<br />
with improving productivity<br />
as they significantly increase cathode<br />
efficiency.<br />
COVENTYA has obtained numerous<br />
automotive approvals from GM, VW,<br />
Renault, PSA, Audi, Toyota, Fiat,<br />
Honda, Ford, Volvo and Nissan. For a<br />
complete list of automotive approvals,<br />
please contact COVENTYA.<br />

MISSION STATMENT:<br />
Curtis Metal Finishing Company is<br />
committed to providing the highest<br />
quality metal processing services on<br />
time, at competitive prices. Our goal<br />
is to stay ‘ahead of the curve’ and<br />
offer products that meet the needs of<br />
industry as they change and evolve.<br />
Environmental stewardship is also<br />
a factor in the products we provide<br />
and how we process them.<br />
<strong>COMPANY</strong> HISTORY:<br />
Curtis was founded in 1963 by<br />
Merle Hoensheid. As a wholly<br />
owned subsidiary of Commercial<br />
Steel Treating, the Curtis Processing<br />
Company began as a supplier of<br />
zinc and cadmium plating. In 1968,<br />
the operation grew into a new facility<br />
in Troy, MI.<br />
In 1972, the direction of Curtis<br />
shifted from plating to phosphate<br />
coatings. To provide for future<br />
growth, a second facility named<br />
Curtis Coatings Company was<br />
opened in 1978 and located in Sterling<br />
Heights, MI. In 1988, the two<br />
facilities were merged to form Curtis<br />
Metal Finishing in Sterling Heights,<br />
MI. Curtis continues to expand its<br />
Midwest customer base and, as a<br />
result, opened our Illinois facility in<br />
Machesney Park in 1992.<br />
In 2009, we opened a heat treating<br />
facility neighboring our metal<br />
finishing plant in Machesney Park,<br />
IL. Curtis Thermal Processing offers<br />
quality heat treat services with the<br />
advantage of “one-stop shopping”<br />
convenience for customers needing<br />
both heat treat and metal finishing.<br />
Curtis has built a reputation of providing<br />
high quality engineered coatings<br />
for the automotive industry in a<br />
JIT environment. As fastener finishing<br />
experts, we can help you match<br />
the proper finish with your particular<br />

<strong>COMPANY</strong> BACKGROUND:<br />
The company, ENKOTEC A/S, was<br />
established back in 1981 for producing<br />
and commercializing the newly developed<br />
nail manufacturing machine. The<br />
introduction of the ENKOTEC rotary<br />
nail machine was a revolution within<br />
the nail industry, as the machine was<br />
totally different from the conventional<br />
nail manufacturing machines known<br />
since the turn of the 19th century. The nail<br />
machine quickly became a Danish export<br />
success and today ENKOTEC machines<br />
are running in nail factories located all<br />
over the world.<br />
At our headquarter address in Denmark<br />
we undertake the development, production<br />
and sale of machines and tooling<br />
for the manufacture of nails. We have<br />
regional sales offices in Cleveland,<br />
Ohio, and in Buenos Aires, and we cooperate<br />
with local commercial agents on<br />
selected markets.<br />

MISSION STATEMENT:<br />
ENKOTEC is a leading global supplier<br />
of machinery for the manufacture of<br />
mass-produced nails as well as customized<br />
solutions. We create innovative and<br />
productive solutions for our customers.<br />
PRODUCT LINES:<br />
ENKOTEC nail machines are unique<br />
by being based on a rotary forming<br />
principle, allowing wire feeding, wire<br />
cutting and head forming to take place<br />
in one continuous process of rotating<br />
movements. The ENKOTEC technology<br />
makes it possible to produce high-quality<br />
nails at an unprecedented speed, without<br />
compromising production stability, while<br />
requiring less space and fewer operators<br />
and offering the possibility of unmanned<br />
production. At the same time, this machine<br />
concept allows to implement an<br />
environment friendly production with<br />
a low noise level, small energy consumption<br />
and an oil-free manufacturing<br />
process, eliminating the need for subsequent<br />
nail tumbling. Over the years,<br />
ENKOTEC has made continuous design<br />
and material improvements on the nail<br />
machine, thus meeting customer requirements<br />
for increased cost-efficiency and<br />
user-friendliness. ENKOTEC’s product<br />
program includes various complementary<br />
machines supplied as standalone units<br />
or in-line systems. ENKOTEC’s in-line<br />
nail manufacturing solutions, featuring<br />
a balanced combination of well-proven<br />
systems and modern technology, prove<br />
our wish to constantly put our customers<br />
ahead of competition.<br />
ENKOTEC’s present high-capacity nail<br />
machines, the NX series, producing up<br />
to 2,000 nails per minute, are designed<br />
according to a modular principle with<br />
six machine variants. We have widened<br />
the dimension range of our machines, as<br />
it is possible to cover nail lengths from<br />
32 up to as much as 130 mm (1¼" to 5<br />
1/8") and wire diameters from ø1.8 to<br />
ø4.2 mm (0.071" to 0.165"). The NX<br />
machines come with a PLC control system<br />
and touch screen operator interface,<br />
which is easy to navigate and allows<br />
quick setup of nail parameters.<br />
ENKOTEC’s newest nail machine, type<br />
MI01, intended for small and midsize capacity<br />
needs, is producing 1,000 nails per<br />
minute at ø2.3-3.8 mm (0.090" to 0.150")<br />
and nail lengths 50-90 mm (2" to 3½").<br />
The MI01 features simple adjustments,<br />
quick tooling changeovers, easy access<br />
for cleaning and service, and long tooling<br />
life among other advantages. ENKOTEC<br />
sees its MI01 model as a strong alterna-<br />
tive for its customers’ capacity needs,<br />
whether they produce one single nail type<br />
or several different nails. The MI01 combined<br />
with its high-end NX series allow<br />
ENKOTEC to offer a complete range of<br />
nail machines, where many tooling parts<br />
are common for all machine models, thus<br />
increasing their cost effectiveness.<br />
ENKOTEC’s TA01 thread rolling machine<br />
has been specially designed for making<br />
screw shank or annular nail profiles<br />
with a production speed of up to 2,500<br />
nails per minute. The working area of the<br />
TA01 is ø1.8 - 4.2 mm (0.071" to 0.165")<br />
x 32 - 105 mm (1¼" to 4") nail length with<br />
a profile height of 27 - 76 mm (1.06" to<br />
3.00"). Apart from the high production<br />
capacity, the TA01 machine incorporates<br />
numerous advantages such as high-quality<br />
output, high stability, quick tooling<br />
changeovers, simple adjustments, and<br />
low noise level. The machine is capable<br />
of running in-line in a nail manufacturing<br />
line or as a standalone machine.<br />
The latest innovation from ENKOTEC<br />
is its movable stand-alone packaging<br />
machine, type NCP02. The NCP02 automatically<br />
feeds the nail cartons, fills them<br />
with the accurate number of nails, and<br />
transports the nail cartons via automatic<br />
drive belt conveyors. All of this can be<br />
done in-line with a standard ENKOTEC<br />
nail machine or thread rolling machine.<br />
<strong>COMPANY</strong> PHILOSOPHY:<br />
Our company philosophy includes an<br />
extensive service concept based on<br />
partnership. Thus, ENKOTEC provides<br />
our customers with an efficient aftersales<br />
system including quick supplies of<br />
spare parts, technical support at all levels<br />
and customized training programmes.<br />
Through frequent sales visits and preventive<br />
service, we stay in close contact<br />
with our customers, allowing us to be<br />
continually updated on the nail producers’<br />
requirements and the development<br />
of the market, so that R&D projects can<br />
be adjusted accordingly.<br />
Managing Director, Bent Just Petersen<br />
concludes: “ENKOTEC is determined to<br />
stay focused on the nail industry, as we<br />
have done for 30 years. We strive to be<br />
at the cutting edge of technology so that<br />
we can make our customers competitive.<br />
More than ever, we want to be the No. 1<br />
brand within nail manufacturing.”<br />

<strong>COMPANY</strong> HISTORY:<br />
The Mecavit Company was established in<br />
1980 out of the entrepreneurial spirit and<br />
ten years of experience in the mechanical<br />
industry of two engineers. Together they<br />
founded a small business that, through their<br />
dedication and efforts, would become one<br />
of the key producers in the Italian fastener<br />
manufacturing industry. Remarkably it has<br />
taken no more than a single generation for<br />
Mecavit to rise to the position of one of the<br />
most highly regarded Italian manufacturers<br />
of stainless and carbon steel fasteners, and to<br />
have achieved success in the most competitive<br />
of international markets.<br />
These achievements have been a direct result<br />
of Mecavit’s constant search for the highest<br />
quality standards. The company has always<br />
sought to use consistently high quality sources<br />
of raw materials; to invest in the most advanced<br />
and reliable production and control technologies;<br />
and to adopt the very best in production<br />
management techniques. Mecavit has also<br />
worked assiduously to be sensitive to the service<br />
requirements of its customers, wherever<br />
they are located, and to be a business partner<br />
of the highest integrity.<br />
Mecavit’s new production facility, opened<br />
in 2000 is situated in a modern industrial<br />
zone, close to Bologna and in the heart of the<br />
most advanced engineering area in Italy. The<br />
premises were built with the most modern<br />
technological systems, and extend to an area<br />
of approximately 7500 square metres, 6500<br />
dedicated to production and 1000 to offices.<br />
The new production plant provides a quality of<br />
working environment that safeguards the heath<br />
and physical well-being of the company’s<br />
workforce, as well as ensuring their motivation<br />
to continue to achieve the highest standards to<br />
its customers.<br />
In all that has been described Mecavit can be<br />
recognised as competitive and ready to face<br />
the future and continued hard challenges in<br />
the world of fasteners.<br />
PRODUCTION CAPABILITIES:<br />
The Mecavit manufacturing range is strongly<br />
specialized in socket head and six-lobe small<br />
diameter screws in carbon high tensile steel<br />
and stainless steel. Only certified quality steels<br />
are allowed to enter the plant, even then under<br />
strict materials acceptance controls.<br />
Then, totally automated technologies transform<br />
them into fasteners and other similar<br />
parts, according to the most common standards<br />
and to special customer requirements.<br />
For standard parts production adheres to the<br />
norms DIN, UNI, ISO and to the international<br />
parameters prescribed by them. For special<br />
parts, Mecavit’s own team of highly trained<br />
technical staff, with the aid of advanced CAD<br />
systems, determine and initiate the production<br />
process. They interpret the drawing of<br />
customers, then develop specific production<br />
plans to deliver optimal solutions to meet<br />
the specific requirements expressed by the<br />
customer, for example in achieving higher<br />
levels of safety or integrity than defined by<br />
the norms, or by ensuring the final product<br />
will perform to higher standards.<br />
Each year Mecavit programmes a series if<br />
new investments in production and development<br />
technology. The company also, though,<br />
places great emphasis on ensuring a highly<br />
responsive attitude to its market. In doing so<br />
it has a clear objective to differentiate itself in<br />
the market through its technical capabilities,<br />
its production efficiency and also its commercial<br />
ability.<br />
CUSTOMER SUPPORT:<br />
Customers of Mecavit are to be found in a<br />
whole range of prestige industries as well<br />
as in the distribution market. What they all<br />
have in common is an appreciation and trust<br />
in the reliability with which Mecavit supports<br />
them. It is a reputation Mecavit values<br />
deeply and constantly seeks to uphold.<br />
Linking Mecavit’s manufacturing capability<br />
to its customers’ requirements is an efficient<br />
and dedicated pre and post sale commercial<br />
operation. One of the keys to its continued<br />
success is a management system, which<br />
controls the flow of information throughout<br />
the production and logistics operations.<br />
The management of the Mecavit warehouse<br />
is fully automated. The warehouse creates<br />
orders on the production operation based<br />
according to demand trends calculated on<br />
an historical base. Thousands of references<br />
are therefore in a “ready for delivery” status,<br />
available for prompt despatch to the customer,<br />
with a simple order of the computer. This ensures<br />
that delivery lead times are maintained<br />
at minimum possible levels.<br />
Concerning product innovations, the technical<br />
catalogue and every relevant detail of Mecavit’s<br />
web site are constantly updated to provide<br />
new possibilities for dialogue and partnership<br />
with customers in every part of the world.<br />
QUALITY:<br />
The quality system of Mecavit, is internationally<br />
certified in compliance with the<br />
norms UNI EN ISO 9001:2008 “ VISION”<br />
carried out by “TUV” Italy. Mecavit has<br />
already successfully completed the third,<br />
three-yearly, renewal of its certification. The<br />
company is particularly proud that the certification<br />
agency numbers Mecavit amongst the<br />
highest echelons of the companies accorded<br />
this high quality standard.<br />
To ensure the highest standards of production<br />
quality Mecavit systems include the<br />
capability to preview the deformation of<br />
the steel to the parameters laid down for<br />
that norm or special requirement. The test<br />
laboratory carries out an extensive range of<br />
other qualitative and quantitative controls<br />
to assure the excellence of the finished<br />
products. All of the stages of production are<br />
controlled carefully at the control board of<br />
the machine, with a pre-determined system<br />
of quality inspections, including final testing<br />
of each production lot.<br />

<strong>COMPANY</strong> HISTORY:<br />
In 1985, Nucor decided to open a fastener<br />
facility, expanding the company into other<br />
steel-related products. Rather than acquire<br />
an existing plant, Nucor decided to build a<br />
state-of-the-art manufacturing operation in<br />
St. Joe, IN. Many people were skeptical. At<br />
the time, low-priced imports were driving<br />
domestic manufacturers from the business.<br />
North American manufacturers had lost<br />
about 80 percent of the standard bolt and nut<br />
markets. But company leaders wanted to start<br />
with a clean slate and do things the Nucor<br />
way, focusing on longstanding principles of<br />
quality, integrity and customer service.<br />
Today, Nucor <strong>Fastener</strong> is a domestic leader<br />
in fastener production, manufacturing highquality<br />
domestic standard fasteners, as well<br />
as special items made to individual customer<br />
specifications. We also add value to our<br />
standard product line through special finishes,<br />
patches, adhesives and other secondary<br />
processing. But that’s just part of our story.<br />
As part of Nucor, we strive for continuous<br />
improvement. We have increased capacity to<br />
process wire, heat treat, form and warehouse.<br />
We’re committed to further improvement<br />
and expansion. Our goal: continue finding<br />
new ways to get our customers what they<br />
need, when they need it.<br />
QUALITY ASSURANCE:<br />
The Nucor name is synonymous with quality<br />
and stability. We maintain the integrity<br />
of our steel through an advanced tracking<br />
system that starts with the raw material coils<br />
and continues all the way through warehousing<br />
and shipping. Since our dedicated steel<br />
source is Nucor Nebraska, we know our<br />
steel’s history even before it arrives here.<br />
We control the manufacturing process, including<br />
wire processing (annealing/pickling),<br />
forming, heat treat, inspection, packaging<br />
and warehousing. Even after the fasteners<br />
are shipped, our system allows customers to<br />
acquire a full history of the steel.<br />
Our products are quality-tested throughout<br />
the manufacturing process and then again<br />
at final inspection prior to shipment to assure<br />
you of our commitment to high quality<br />
products. Certifications and material<br />
test reports are available on raw material,<br />
outside processing and finished products.<br />
Our quality registrations include ISO/TS<br />
16949:2002, ISO 9001:2000 and A2LA.<br />
We’re also certified to ISO 14001 environmental<br />
standards.<br />
PRODUCT LINE:<br />
At Nucor <strong>Fastener</strong>, our capability ranges<br />
from 1/4” (M6) diameter through 1-1/4”<br />
(M30), in lengths up to 10” (250mm). Our<br />
production takes place almost entirely<br />
within our 500,000-square-foot facility.<br />
Our large number of bolt makers provides<br />
capacity to meet customer needs and provide<br />
redundancy across all sizes. In fact,<br />
when it comes to producing bolt diameters<br />
3/4” (M20) and larger, we have one of the<br />
world’s largest capacities.<br />
We continue to manufacture high-quality<br />
hex head cap screws, finished hex nuts,<br />
structural bolts, nuts, assemblies and flange<br />
bolts. But we’ve also expanded our product<br />
line to include build-to-print fasteners. Head<br />
styles, dimensions, grades and finishes can<br />
be customized to meet individual specifications.<br />
And through strategic alliances with<br />
processors, we’re able to accommodate special<br />
finishes, patches, adhesives and other<br />
secondary processing requirements to help<br />
you streamline your supply chain.<br />
No matter what your needs are, you can trust<br />
Nucor <strong>Fastener</strong> to get you the right products<br />
to get the job done. During construction of<br />
the Cooper River Bridge in South Carolina,<br />
for example, about one million mechanically<br />
galvanized bolts and nuts – primarily 7/8”<br />
and 1” diameters – were used to support<br />
North America’s largest cable stay span<br />
bridge. Nucor fasteners have also been used<br />
in other high-profile projects, such as the<br />
Indianapolis Motor Speedway and stadiums<br />
for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland<br />
Browns and Indiana Pacers. Nucor fasteners<br />
can be found in other leading company’s<br />
products, including Freightliner, Navistar,<br />
Peterbilt, Kenworth, Volvo, Deere-Hitachi<br />
and Bobcat.<br />

E-Mail: sales@rotorclip.com<br />
<strong>COMPANY</strong> PROFILE:<br />
Rotor Clip makes all of its retaining<br />
rings, wave springs and hose clamp<br />
products in a 280,000 square foot<br />
manufacturing space on 64 acres in<br />
Somerset, New Jersey. This vertically<br />
integrated concept is one that many<br />
manufacturers have abandoned over<br />
the years in exchange for cheaper-running<br />
plants in foreign countries. But by<br />
performing all of the critical steps in<br />
producing retaining rings in-house (like<br />
die design/building, stamping, wire<br />
forming, heat treating and finishing),<br />
Rotor Clip is able to provide customers<br />
with quality, repeatable products they<br />
can rely on to consistently perform in<br />
the most critical applications.<br />
Another advantage is the wealth of<br />
knowledge Rotor Clip employees have<br />
gained in these critical areas. Engineers,<br />
toolmakers, machine operators<br />
and quality inspectors have worked<br />
together to solve problems and initiate<br />
improvements. By not exporting<br />
critical technology to outside sources,<br />
these key personnel have gained a<br />
wealth of knowledge they can share<br />
with their customers to help them select<br />
the most effective and economical<br />
retaining ring for their application.<br />
Although enthusiastically committed<br />
to American manufacturing, Rotor<br />
Clip is still every bit a global company,<br />
selling product into major automotive<br />
and distributor markets in Europe,<br />
Asia, South America and Australia.<br />
PRODUCT LINE:<br />
Rotor Clip is the only manufacturer<br />
in the world offering all three major<br />
types of retaining rings: tapered, constant<br />
section and spiral. These are made<br />
to inch, DIN, ANSI metric and JIS<br />
standards in carbon steel, stainless steel<br />
and beryllium copper.<br />
Unlike other companies we don’t<br />
claim one retaining ring is better than<br />
another. Rather, it’s about your application<br />
and what you need to make it work.<br />
With the help of Rotor Clip engineers,<br />
you’ll find the one retaining ring that<br />
works best for you, rather than the one<br />
that’s best for us to sell you.<br />
Rotor Clip military retaining rings<br />
are also available, manufactured to<br />
military specifications under Cage<br />
Code 07382.<br />
Stainless steel parts for military<br />
need to be made from PH15-7 stainless<br />
material, which Rotor Clip can provide.<br />
This material is not readily available in<br />
Europe and the Pacific Rim, limiting<br />
the ability of other sources to provide<br />
certified rings to their customers.<br />
MS parts made from High Carbon<br />
Spring Steel are also available; manufactured<br />
domestically, and processed<br />
from Rotor Clip’s extensive catalog of<br />
tooled parts. Finishes include: Cadmium;<br />
Zinc Dichromate, and Phosphate.<br />
Stainless steel and beryllium copper<br />
parts have been certified as domestically<br />
melted by raw material suppliers<br />
for purposes of DFARS 252.225-7014,<br />
“Preference for domestic specialty metals.”<br />
Certifications are provided Free<br />
of Charge.<br />
Rotor Clip also offers single turn,<br />
multi turn, and nested wave springs.<br />
A wave spring is made from coiled<br />
flat wire with waves added to give it a<br />
spring effect. Wave springs are superior<br />
to coil springs in certain applications<br />
because they provide lower work<br />
heights with the same force. This not<br />
only provides for space savings, but also<br />
smaller assemblies that use less materials,<br />
hence lower production costs.<br />
THE GREEN FASTENER:<br />
Using Rotor Clip retaining rings in<br />
place of threaded fasteners where appropriate<br />
reduces scrap and hazardous<br />
waste caused by machining shoulders<br />
and use of excess cutting fluids. Our<br />
wave springs provide lower work heights<br />
than coil springs with the same force<br />
– resulting in smaller assemblies that use<br />
less material. Rotor Clip products can be<br />
produced to meet the requirements of the<br />
RoHS and ELV directives.<br />
QUALITY:<br />
With all the recent news stories<br />
concerning quality mistakes from<br />
overseas as well as in the States, Rotor<br />
Clip is dedicated to providing customers<br />
with a part that exceeds standard<br />
specifications. This includes providing<br />
documentation showing critical quality,<br />
material & heat treating specs, as well<br />
as lot traceability and country of origin.<br />
All Rotor Clip products are designed &<br />
manufactured in the USA in one facility,<br />
registered to ISO/TS 16949:2009.<br />
SERVICE:<br />
Rotor Clip is not just a manufacturing<br />
facility. It is a support center for<br />
customers from the moment of contact.<br />
Whether it’s placing an order, needing<br />
design assistance, or finding the right<br />
part, Rotor Clip is there to help throughout<br />
the business relationship.<br />
The Rotor Express program provides<br />
customers with small package quantities<br />
of retaining rings that would otherwise be<br />
too costly to process from Rotor Clip’s<br />
facility. Through a series of partnerships<br />
throughout the country, customers can<br />
purchase low-volumes of product at<br />
extremely competitive prices.<br />

A Division of Schneider & Marquard, Inc.<br />

Newton, NJ 07860 USA<br />
Phone: +1 973 383 2200<br />
Fax: +1 973 383 6529<br />
Website: www.smretainingrings.com<br />
<strong>COMPANY</strong> HISTORY:<br />
S&M Retaining Rings became<br />
a division of Schneider & Marquard<br />
in January of 2001 as a<br />
result of the vision of the current<br />
owner Michael J. O’Shea, who<br />
realized the need for additional<br />
manufacturers in the retaining<br />
ring market. Originally a tool<br />
& die maker, he also brought to<br />
S&M over 20 years of handson<br />
experience in the complete<br />
manufacturing of retaining rings.<br />
With the understanding of the<br />
skills and limitations of the other<br />
retaining ring manufacturing<br />
companies in the USA, England,<br />
and Germany, he developed new<br />
designs for high-speed precision<br />
tooling. This tooling has made<br />
it possible for S&M Retaining<br />
Rings to produce and deliver exceptional<br />
quality rings in a short<br />
period of time.<br />
By utilizing our tool and die<br />
manufacturing resources and<br />
Mike’s experience in the industry,<br />
S&M Retaining Rings has been<br />
able to quickly grow into the<br />
major retaining ring supplier it<br />
is today. S&M Retaining Rings<br />
initially began and continues to<br />
manufacture higher volume rings<br />
in order to satisfy the market’s<br />
demand for these items. Custom<br />
rings are also fabricated based on<br />
our customer’s needs.<br />
OUR PRODUCTS:<br />
S&M Retaining Rings has a<br />
significant inventory of rings,<br />
including 1074 carbon steel,<br />
stainless steel (PH15-7Mo) and<br />
beryllium copper. We can supply<br />
our carbon steel rings with<br />
black phosphate, zinc bright/<br />
clear, zinc dichromate yellow,<br />
and zinc trivalent plating. Our<br />
rings are manufactured to the<br />
military standard and certificates<br />
of compliance to the MS number<br />
are available upon request. All<br />
of the items we manufacture are<br />
DFAR compliant.<br />
We also manufacture retaining<br />
ring applicators and dispensers<br />
for our customers and have the<br />
capability to fabricate custom<br />
automated tooling for a company’s<br />
individual application.<br />
All of the employees at S&M<br />
Retaining Rings strive to make<br />
sure that our rings will always<br />
meet the highest quality standards.<br />
Our rings are inspected<br />
continuously throughout the<br />
manufacturing process with excellent<br />
SPC results. Our employees<br />
are committed to total quality<br />
management from the time we<br />
quote the job until the rings are<br />
shipped from our facility. We<br />
stand behind the quality of our<br />
rings 100% and are very proud to<br />
be ISO2001:2008 certified.<br />
OUR FUTURE:<br />
Mike O’Shea, his son Michael,<br />
and the employees of S&M are<br />
taking steps to prepare and expand<br />
for the future so that our<br />
customers may be serviced more<br />
effectively. We are steadily increasing<br />
our product line each<br />
year and will soon be offering<br />
some metric sizes in addition to<br />
our inch sizes.<br />
Employees of S&M are proud to<br />
say that we continue to manufacture<br />
all of our products in our<br />
own facility in New Jersey, and<br />
in turn are helping to support the<br />
United States’ economy.<br />
We at S&M Retaining Rings<br />
value the relationships we have<br />
with our customers and appreciate<br />
their loyalty. We look forward<br />
to growing in the future with your<br />
support.<br />

creased inventory. Volt has been<br />
looking forward to this move since<br />
they bought the 65,000 square foot<br />
building in 2007, but the economy<br />
forced them to stay at their old facility<br />
in Flippin until 2011. Over the<br />
last four years they have made small<br />
steps toward their move and then<br />
finally moved the entire inventory,<br />
machines and all departments over<br />
to Yellville in May, 2011. “This<br />
is a very exciting time for us and<br />
we have been waiting patiently and<br />
watching the economy for four years<br />
to be in our new home. We now<br />
have the room to grow and add product<br />

<strong>COMPANY</strong> PROFILE:<br />
Established in 1964, CAN-ENG Furnaces<br />
<strong>International</strong> Limited has grown to become<br />
a leading designer and manufacturer of<br />
thermal processing equipment for ferrous<br />
and non-ferrous metals. CAN-ENG’s rugged<br />
furnace designs have served commercial and<br />
captive heat-treaters, stamping and fastener<br />
companies, automotive component producers,<br />
the iron and steel industries, aluminum<br />
foundries, agricultural, construction and<br />
appliance manufacturers for almost 50 years<br />
and we have gained an international reputation<br />
for design innovation, quality workmanship<br />
and a dedication to service.<br />
For over two decades, CAN-ENG has been<br />
the industry leader for the supply of Continuous<br />
Mesh Belt Furnace Systems. Much of<br />
this can be attributed to design innovation<br />
which changed the industry and continues<br />
today. CAN-ENG’s equipment leads the<br />
industry in up-time reliability, energy efficiency<br />
and soft handling features that deliver<br />
superior part cosmetics. Standard production<br />
capacities are available from 250 lbs/hr up to<br />
the largest systems in operation at over 7500<br />
lbs/hr (100 kgs/hr to 3400 kgs/hr).<br />
CAN-ENG systems are usually supplied as<br />
totally automated heat treating lines which<br />
include computer controlled loading systems,<br />
pre-was stations, hardening furnaces,<br />
quench systems, post washer stations and<br />
tempering furnaces. Auxiliary equipment<br />
such as dephosphating systems, blackening<br />
systems, atmosphere generators and systems<br />
offering full SCADA capabilities are also<br />
available to complete the system automation.<br />
CAN-ENG’s SCADA system is designed<br />
especially for the heat treating industry. It<br />
addresses specific needs regarding production<br />
efficiency and process quality in heat<br />
treat operations and can be included in a<br />
CAN-ENG furnace installation or added to<br />
others’ equipment.<br />
CAN-ENG has recently introduced a new<br />
Energy Recovery System (ERS) for its<br />
Continuous Mesh Belt Furnace Systems. The<br />
new ERS reduces atmosphere consumption,<br />
natural gas consumption and carbon<br />
emissions and delivers faster part heat up.<br />
CAN-ENG Furnaces has the depth of experience<br />
to custom engineer heat treating equipment<br />
for the most demanding applications.<br />

MISSION STATEMENT:<br />
“To service our customers’ fastener and<br />
machinery needs at a level of excellence that<br />
exceeds their expectations.” It’s more than<br />
just a bunch of words! It’s been the essence<br />
of our business for over 30 years of consistent<br />
growth.<br />
<strong>COMPANY</strong> HISTORY:<br />
Hanger Bolt & Stud Co. was started in 1967 by<br />
L.D. Enterkin. The original operation consisted<br />
of a single threader in a cramped one-car garage<br />
in Indianapolis, Indiana.<br />
By 1977, continued growth had forced the company<br />
into its third building in 10 years. Shortly<br />
after this move, both the machine division<br />
and our wire drawing operation were started.<br />
Also by this time, the second generation of<br />
Enterkins had assumed management. In 1987,<br />
the company purchased 5 acres in Greenfield,<br />
Indiana (15 miles east of Indianapolis) and<br />
constructed a new facility. Increased production<br />
requirements soon led to an expansion of<br />
this facility.<br />
Today, our headless fasteners can be found in<br />
nearly every home in America.<br />
PRODUCT LINES:<br />
Hanger Bolt & Stud is a manufacturer of<br />
roll-formed headless fasteners for a variety of<br />
industries. Our machinery division designs and<br />
builds a full line of production systems for the<br />
installation of our fasteners in wood and plastic<br />
components such as furniture legs. The wire<br />
drawing department supplies material for our<br />
own fastener production as well as other users<br />
of steel, brass, aluminum and stainless wire.<br />
Products include:<br />
• Hanger Bolts, Fully Threaded & Plain<br />
Center<br />
• Stainless Steel Hanger Bolts<br />
• Dowel Screws<br />

MISSION OBJECTIVE:<br />
Service is our strength<br />
Quality is our commitment<br />
OUR HISTORY:<br />
Richard A. Kovach, President and owner,<br />
began his Tool and Die business in 1970 in a<br />
20x20 garage in Cleveland, Ohio. Ken Forging,<br />
Inc. is a hot-drop forging, family-owned<br />
business located in Northeast Ohio, and a<br />
domestic manufacturer of closed-die Industrial<br />
Hardware in carbon, alloy, and stainless steels<br />
and custom forgings. Beginning in 1972, when<br />
Kovach built a modest 3000 square foot die<br />
shop, through 2007, additional expansions have<br />
been made to the Die & Forge area, Production,<br />
Impacter, Press room, Machining Center,<br />
Shipping, and four additional loading docks.<br />
In 2008 a twenty-three room Office Complex<br />
brought Ken Forging to 220,000 sq. ft. and in<br />
2010 an additional 36,000 sq. ft. was added to<br />
the still-expanding leading manufacturer in the<br />

Leading automotive manufacturers, such as Chrysler,<br />
Ford, General Motors and Nissan, choose Magni<br />
565 as their preferred finish on their fasteners for its<br />
performance abilities, environmental compliance and<br />
test results. Our most popular coating, Magni 565, has<br />
a combination of an inorganic zinc-rich base coat and an<br />
aluminum-rich top coat, plus an integration of friction<br />
modifiers which produces repeatable torque tension.<br />
Magni 565 Military is in demand by military assemblers,<br />
such as TACOM, BAS Systems, BAE, AM General,<br />
and Plasan, for exceeding coating performance criteria<br />
necessary to withstand battle field conditions and its<br />
custom camouflage colorings.<br />
Magni 501 is Magni’s newest coating development. It<br />
is a single-coat, zinc-rich fastener coating system replacing<br />
zinc plating and trivalent passivation. The thin layer<br />
chemistry combination of Magni 501 delivers exceptional<br />
corrosion resistance, no hydrogen embrittlement concerns,<br />
cost savings, long endurance, and environmental<br />
compliance (RoHS, WEE, ELV, and REACH). The<br />
performance properties, such as uniform film thickness,<br />
improved adhesion, chip resistance, consistence torque<br />
tension, paintable and no post-coating sealers are exactly<br />
the traits desired by metal component manufacturers.<br />
To combat corrosion on large-scale windmills and exposed<br />
solar panels, industry engineers are protecting all<br />
their metal components with Magni coatings. Today’s<br />
wind machines have Magni’s “paint” on their M12-M45<br />
size fasteners, screws, and various nuts, studs and washers.<br />
For visible solar panel fasteners, building hardware and<br />
deck screws, Magni customizes the coating colors for an<br />
attractive cosmetic appearance while maintaining protective<br />
properties. Commercial non-automotive producers<br />
demand Magni coatings for its consistent performance in<br />
corrosion protection, appearance and lubricity.<br />
Magni’s informed and resourceful Global Sales Team<br />
is committed to customers and partners in servicing the<br />
automotive and industrial markets. For more details<br />

Smalley Steel Ring Company is a manufacturer<br />
of Spirolox ® Retaining Rings, Constant<br />
Section Rings<br />
and Wave Springs. Spiral rings offer a 360°<br />
retaining surface and are interchangeable with<br />
standard stamped ring groovess. Spiral retaining<br />
rings require no special tooling for removal and<br />
have No Ears to Interfere® with the assembly.<br />
Flat wire wave springs reduce heights by up to<br />
50% while offering the same force and deflection<br />
as standard coil springs. Wave springs fit<br />
in tight radial and axial spaces. With over 9,000<br />
standard parts to select from, all Smalley parts<br />
are available in carbon and stainless steel off the<br />
shelf. Special parts can range from .200” to 120”<br />
in diameter. There are No-Tooling-Charge on<br />
specials. Exotic alloys are readily available.<br />
ABOUT SMALLEY:<br />
Smalley, for over 40 years, has manufactured<br />
retaining rings and wave springs using our unique<br />
coiling technology. Smalley has become established<br />
as the top manufacturer of spiral retaining<br />
rings and flat wire wave springs. Smalley is ISO<br />
9001, ISO/TS 16949, AS9100 and ISO 14001<br />
certified.<br />
PRODUCTS:<br />
Wave/Compression Springs: Smalley Wave<br />
Springs (Flat Wire Compression Springs) offer<br />
the unique advantage of space savings when used<br />
to replace coil springs. By reducing spring operating<br />
height, wave springs also produce a decrease<br />
in the spring cavity. With a smaller assembly<br />
size and less material used in the manufacturing<br />
process, a cost savings is realized. Wave springs<br />
operate as load bearing devices. They take up<br />
play and compensate for dimensional variations<br />
within assemblies. A virtually unlimited range of<br />
forces can be produced whereby loads build either<br />
gradually or abruptly to reach a predetermined<br />
working height. This establishes a precise spring<br />
rate in which load is proportional to deflection.<br />
Spirolox ® Retaining Rings: Spirolox Retaining<br />
Rings, available exclusively from Smalley,<br />
have No Ears To Interfere ® with the mating<br />
components in the assembly. Spiral rings offer<br />
a 360° retaining surface, require no special<br />
tooling for removal and are interchangeable with<br />
ordinary snap ring grooves.<br />
Constant Section Rings: Constant Section<br />
Rings are often specified for heavy duty or impact<br />
loading applications. Smalley offers eight<br />
series of rings from stock in over 1,000 sizes.<br />
Laminar Sealing Rings: A Smalley Laminar<br />
Sealing Ring is a metallic labyrinth seal consisting<br />
of multiple rings in a groove. This arrangement<br />
of the rings and the specific orientation of<br />
the rings are dictated by the application and the<br />
severity of the environment.<br />
MANUFACTURING PROCESS:<br />
Smalley offers an exclusive Circular-Grain®<br />
Process. This process is not a stamping, but<br />
rather a continuous coil that is made from<br />
edge-wound, pre-hardened, spring-tempered<br />
flat wire. The flat wire has a grain structure<br />
that is linear, providing exceptional strength<br />
and dimensional stability. Smalley’s unique<br />
manufacturing process reduces scrap allowing<br />
for the economical production of special alloy<br />
products including a large selection of stainless<br />
steel retaining rings and wave springs.<br />
FREE SAMPLES:<br />
Smalley will send samples of catalog items<br />
for your evaluation, free of charge. To make a<br />

From www.smalley.com you can request<br />

<strong>COMPANY</strong> profile:<br />
WINGTONE INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. (hereinafter<br />
referred to as Wingtone) was established<br />
in 1980. It developed the solid roller as initial<br />
product, based on nut forming technology. This<br />
was a revolutionary way of making rollers to<br />
all chain manufacturers in the world. It successfully<br />
helped chain industry grow rapidly<br />
due to high quality and reasonable price. Later,<br />
collars, of lockbolt, were put into the production<br />
lines by using the same forming method.<br />
In 1986, Wingtone applied the one-time forming<br />
technology into speaker yoke production.<br />
Once again, it helped the speaker manufacturers<br />
widely lower the cost and have prosperous<br />
business for years since then.<br />
In 1994, Wingtone designed and assembled 7-<br />
station cold forming machines to produce high<br />
quality products. From that time on, it began to<br />
upgrade the forming machines from the conventional<br />
5-station to the 7-station innovated.<br />
Wingtone was awarded as the best supplier in<br />
areas of quality, cost, delivery, and cooperation<br />
for fiscal year 1995 by Panasonic in Japan.<br />
From 1996, its product types were successfully<br />
expanded into the automotive and construction<br />
industries, based on its cold forming capabilities.<br />
This transition not only diversified the product<br />
types, but also increased the sales growth and<br />
profitability. Now, Wingtone has already had<br />
hundreds of products in production.<br />
main PRODUCT types:<br />
Wingtone currently focuses on developing special<br />
female parts using its special cold forming<br />
technologies. Its products include:<br />
• Automotive Parts<br />
• Special Weld Nuts<br />
• Spacers & Washers<br />
• Long Tubes<br />
• Special Parts<br />
• Rollers & Bushes (for chain)<br />
• Collars (for Lockbolt)<br />
facilities:<br />
Wingtone possesses the abilities to design<br />
and assemble the forming machines by itself.<br />
Therefore, it has a wide range of forming<br />
machines, which are all made in-house. Its<br />
forming machines for production currently<br />
include: 11B, 15B, 19B, 24B, 27B, 30B and<br />
50B. In addition, Wingtone also has its own<br />
tooling factory to design and make all of the<br />
tooling in-house. These advantages enable it to<br />
reach the customers’ demand of various kinds<br />
of high-level products.<br />
technologies & specialties:<br />
The 7-station forming technology, developed<br />
by Wingtone itself, achieves the technical innovation<br />
in fastener production. Currently, its<br />
equipment can produce the parts with maximum<br />
length up to 130mm and maximum O.D. up to<br />
50mm. Besides, its technologies can fulfill customer’s<br />
strict requirements in perpendicularity,<br />
parallelism, calibration and so on. Wingtone’s<br />
specialties are especially in the SHAPED parts,<br />
which conventionally take secondary operation,<br />
such as machining, in the same industry.<br />
This helps the customers to lower the cost and<br />
upgrade the quality at the same time.<br />
accreditations & patents:<br />
• ISO/TS 16949:2002<br />
• ISO 9001:2000<br />
• 9 forming machine patents in Taiwan<br />
• 6 forming machine patents in China/India<br />
