COMPANY HISTORY: 

Alken-Ziegler is the largest privately 

held cold forming company 

in the United States. We are a 

multifaceted company that offers 

parts forming, precision machining 

and tool & die services to a 

wide variety of customers in the 

Americas, Europe and Asia. We 

are also a three-time recipient of 

the General Motors Supplier of the 

Year award. 

Since 1969, Alken-Ziegler has 

been a leader in the manufacture 

of high quality cold formed and 

machined parts. The company 

now maintains two locations, one 

in Taylor, MI and the other in Kettering, 

OH. Corporate headquarters 

is located at our automotive 

OEM manufacturing campus in 

Taylor. This facility is the center 

of our forming and secondary 

machining operations. 

For many years the automotive 

OEM and Tier 1 companies have 

depended upon independent screw 

machine companies to supply 

complex parts. In many cases 

screw machining came at a higher 

cost because of large amounts of 

material waste. This translated 

into higher prices. Cold forming 

offered an attractive solution. 

The cold forming process provides 

a more efficient use of raw 

materials by moving the metal 

into its final form with little or 

no waste. Parts produced by cold 

forming also possess superior 

mechanical properties, achieved 

by cold working the metal as it is 

being formed. If precision toler- 

ances are required, they can be 

achieved with minimal secondary 

machining.

MISSION STATMENT: 

Teamwork is the key ingredient 

in the “Beneke attitude”, everyone 

working for a common goal, 

the success of the customer, plus 

a shared pride in the quality of 

their work and the quality of the 

end product. 


Over forty years ago, Chuck 

Beneke had a vision. He believed 

there was a strong demand for 

high-quality, custom-produced 

aluminum wire. He was certain 

customers would respond 

to the idea of aluminum wire 

manufactured to fit their specific 

requirements. He was right. In 

1968 this wire industry pioneer 

joined with his son J. David 

Beneke and founded Beneke 

Wire Company. 

Beneke Wire Company started 

producing small orders of extremely 

high-quality aluminum 

wire. Great attention was paid to 

the alloy, the finish and the rigid 

tolerances. More importantly, 

the company worked to produce 

wire that would improve their 

customer’s production process. 

By creating the right treatment or 

finish, Beneke Wire customers 

could possibly eliminate certain 

steps in their manufacturing, 

thus making a better end product 

at reduced production costs. 

This “partnership” between the 

Beneke engineering staff and 

the customer is a key ingredient 

to the success of the entire 

operation. 

David Beneke succeeded his father 

as president of the company 

in 1983 and he has continued to 

emphasize the traditions of value 

and service that has helped Beneke 

Wire grow into a world leader in 

aluminum wire production. 

TODAY AND THE FUTURE: 

The next generation of the Beneke 

family is actively working within 

the corporation. Michael and 

Stephen Beneke are now part of 

the executive management team, 

working to assure continuity 

within the company for years to 

come. The same core values established 

by Chuck Beneke forty 

plus years ago have been passed 

on to this new, successful team of 

company management. 

Beneke Wire Company continues 

to grow. With more than 

200,000 square feet of manufacturing 

space, Beneke provides 

aluminum wire to its customers 

worldwide. 

PRODUCTS: 

Beneke Wire Company offers the 

most complete range of aluminum 

wire products on the market to an 

international customer base. All 

major aluminum alloys, both heattreatable 

and non-heat-treatable, 

in a variety of tempers and drawn 

to exacting tolerances are available. 

When you order wire from 

Beneke, you get more than a coil 

of wire. You receive the highest 

level of experience and pride in 

every package. 

SERVICES OFFERED: 

With growth such as experienced 

at Beneke, comes new challenges 

and a search for new knowledge. 

This search is the function of the 

technical department at Beneke. 

Customers receive metallurgical 

and engineering services unsurpassed 

anywhere in the industry, 

including product analysis, inspection 

and testing of raw materials 

and trial orders. Also available 

is Beneke’s participation in the 

PPAP program as required by the 

customer. All of this support is 

designed to ensure that the end 

product performs as intended. 

QUALITY: 

The “Beneke attitude”, the company’s 

partnership approach, along 

with its vision and the effort of 

its employees has helped make 

Beneke Wire a qualified ISO 

9001-2000 company.

and numerous OEM product approvals. 

With a full line of products that find use 

in many industries from automobiles 

and oil fields to computers and fashion 

it is clear that COVENTYA products 

touch our lives each and every day. As 

a responsible supplier and as a steward 

of the environment, our products are 

designed to be “green” and we support 

them with a full WaterCare product line 

that ensures our customers can meet the 

same commitment. 

Our vision is to provide our customers

simple and reliable, while protecting 

the environment with our friendly 

technologies. This is more than just a 

welcome side-effect; it is an integral part 

of our vision. 

INNOVATIONS: 

COVENTYA research has been able 

to substitute Cadmium depositions 

and associate different concentrations 

of Zinc-Nickel with hexavalent-free 

passivations such as the PERFORMA 

line with a high concentration of 12- 

15% Nickel. 

COVENTYA was one of the first 

companies to introduce trivalent passivates 

to the Automotive Industry in 

1997. LANTHANE 310 was the first 

passivate to be approved by Renault 

and Opel. This was followed by LAN- 

THANE TR 175, which is now the 

world’s most popular nano-particle 

based trivalent passivate. 

Both of the products were crucial in 

the efforts of replacing hexavalent 

chromates with high performance 

trivalent passivates. 

We also introduced Performa Membrane 

Systems for use in alkaline 

Zinc-Nickel electrolytes to prevent 

the formation of detrimental by-products 

from forming at the anode during 

electrolysis. These membranes are synonymous 

with improving productivity 

as they significantly increase cathode 

efficiency. 

COVENTYA has obtained numerous 

automotive approvals from GM, VW, 

Renault, PSA, Audi, Toyota, Fiat, 

Honda, Ford, Volvo and Nissan. For a 

complete list of automotive approvals, 

please contact COVENTYA. 

COVENTYA 

KNOWS FASTENERS: 

COVENTYA has been involved for 

decades in the development of products 

to protect and control the coefficient of 

friction on fasteners. That is why fastener 

manufacturers around the globe 

choose COVENTYA technologies for 

the highest performance. 

Zinc & Zinc Alloy: All PRIMION, 

ZETAPLUS and PERFORMA technologies 

are developed with high 

production and consistent high performance 

in mind. 

Passivates: Our line of FINIDIP and 

LANTHANE trivalent passivates 

offer self-healing, non-dye, high performance 

advantages that competitive 

systems do not. 

Topcoats: The FINIGARD line of organo-mineral 

topcoats are specifically 

designed to meet the corrosion and friction 

requirements of the automotive, 

building and general industries.

COMPANY BACKGROUND: 

The company, ENKOTEC A/S, was 

established back in 1981 for producing 

and commercializing the newly developed 

nail manufacturing machine. The 

introduction of the ENKOTEC rotary 

nail machine was a revolution within 

the nail industry, as the machine was 

totally different from the conventional 

nail manufacturing machines known 

since the turn of the 19th century. The nail 

machine quickly became a Danish export 

success and today ENKOTEC machines 

are running in nail factories located all 

over the world. 

At our headquarter address in Denmark 

we undertake the development, production 

and sale of machines and tooling 

for the manufacture of nails. We have 

regional sales offices in Cleveland, 

Ohio, and in Buenos Aires, and we cooperate 

with local commercial agents on 

selected markets.

MISSION STATEMENT: 

ENKOTEC is a leading global supplier 

of machinery for the manufacture of 

mass-produced nails as well as customized 

solutions. We create innovative and 

productive solutions for our customers. 


ENKOTEC nail machines are unique 

by being based on a rotary forming 

principle, allowing wire feeding, wire 

cutting and head forming to take place 

in one continuous process of rotating 

movements. The ENKOTEC technology 

makes it possible to produce high-quality 

nails at an unprecedented speed, without 

compromising production stability, while 

requiring less space and fewer operators 

and offering the possibility of unmanned 

production. At the same time, this machine 

concept allows to implement an 

environment friendly production with 

a low noise level, small energy consumption 

and an oil-free manufacturing 

process, eliminating the need for subsequent 

nail tumbling. Over the years, 

ENKOTEC has made continuous design 

and material improvements on the nail 

machine, thus meeting customer requirements 

for increased cost-efficiency and 

user-friendliness. ENKOTEC’s product 

program includes various complementary 

machines supplied as standalone units 

or in-line systems. ENKOTEC’s in-line 

nail manufacturing solutions, featuring 

a balanced combination of well-proven 

systems and modern technology, prove 

our wish to constantly put our customers 

ahead of competition. 

ENKOTEC’s present high-capacity nail 

machines, the NX series, producing up 

to 2,000 nails per minute, are designed 

according to a modular principle with 

six machine variants. We have widened 

the dimension range of our machines, as 

it is possible to cover nail lengths from 

32 up to as much as 130 mm (1¼" to 5 

1/8") and wire diameters from ø1.8 to 

ø4.2 mm (0.071" to 0.165"). The NX 

machines come with a PLC control system 

and touch screen operator interface, 

which is easy to navigate and allows 

quick setup of nail parameters. 

ENKOTEC’s newest nail machine, type 

MI01, intended for small and midsize capacity 

needs, is producing 1,000 nails per 

minute at ø2.3-3.8 mm (0.090" to 0.150") 

and nail lengths 50-90 mm (2" to 3½"). 

The MI01 features simple adjustments, 

quick tooling changeovers, easy access 

for cleaning and service, and long tooling 

life among other advantages. ENKOTEC 

sees its MI01 model as a strong alterna- 

tive for its customers’ capacity needs, 

whether they produce one single nail type 

or several different nails. The MI01 combined 

with its high-end NX series allow 

ENKOTEC to offer a complete range of 

nail machines, where many tooling parts 

are common for all machine models, thus 

increasing their cost effectiveness. 

ENKOTEC’s TA01 thread rolling machine 

has been specially designed for making 

screw shank or annular nail profiles 

with a production speed of up to 2,500 

nails per minute. The working area of the 

TA01 is ø1.8 - 4.2 mm (0.071" to 0.165") 

x 32 - 105 mm (1¼" to 4") nail length with 

a profile height of 27 - 76 mm (1.06" to 

3.00"). Apart from the high production 

capacity, the TA01 machine incorporates 

numerous advantages such as high-quality 

output, high stability, quick tooling 

changeovers, simple adjustments, and 

low noise level. The machine is capable 

of running in-line in a nail manufacturing 

line or as a standalone machine. 

The latest innovation from ENKOTEC 

is its movable stand-alone packaging 

machine, type NCP02. The NCP02 automatically 

feeds the nail cartons, fills them 

with the accurate number of nails, and 

transports the nail cartons via automatic 

drive belt conveyors. All of this can be 

done in-line with a standard ENKOTEC 

nail machine or thread rolling machine. 

COMPANY PHILOSOPHY: 

Our company philosophy includes an 

extensive service concept based on 

partnership. Thus, ENKOTEC provides 

our customers with an efficient aftersales 

system including quick supplies of 

spare parts, technical support at all levels 

and customized training programmes. 

Through frequent sales visits and preventive 

service, we stay in close contact 

with our customers, allowing us to be 

continually updated on the nail producers’ 

requirements and the development 

of the market, so that R&D projects can 

be adjusted accordingly. 

Managing Director, Bent Just Petersen 

concludes: “ENKOTEC is determined to 

stay focused on the nail industry, as we 

have done for 30 years. We strive to be 

at the cutting edge of technology so that 

we can make our customers competitive. 

More than ever, we want to be the No. 1 

brand within nail manufacturing.”

The Mecavit Company was established in 

1980 out of the entrepreneurial spirit and 

ten years of experience in the mechanical 

industry of two engineers. Together they 

founded a small business that, through their 

dedication and efforts, would become one 

of the key producers in the Italian fastener 

manufacturing industry. Remarkably it has 

taken no more than a single generation for 

Mecavit to rise to the position of one of the 

most highly regarded Italian manufacturers 

of stainless and carbon steel fasteners, and to 

have achieved success in the most competitive 

of international markets. 

These achievements have been a direct result 

of Mecavit’s constant search for the highest 

quality standards. The company has always 

sought to use consistently high quality sources 

of raw materials; to invest in the most advanced 

and reliable production and control technologies; 

and to adopt the very best in production 

management techniques. Mecavit has also 

worked assiduously to be sensitive to the service 

requirements of its customers, wherever 

they are located, and to be a business partner 

of the highest integrity. 

Mecavit’s new production facility, opened 

in 2000 is situated in a modern industrial 

zone, close to Bologna and in the heart of the 

most advanced engineering area in Italy. The 

premises were built with the most modern 

technological systems, and extend to an area 

of approximately 7500 square metres, 6500 

dedicated to production and 1000 to offices. 

The new production plant provides a quality of 

working environment that safeguards the heath 

and physical well-being of the company’s 

workforce, as well as ensuring their motivation 

to continue to achieve the highest standards to 

its customers. 

In all that has been described Mecavit can be 

recognised as competitive and ready to face 

the future and continued hard challenges in 

the world of fasteners. 


PRODUCTION CAPABILITIES: 

The Mecavit manufacturing range is strongly 

specialized in socket head and six-lobe small 

diameter screws in carbon high tensile steel 

and stainless steel. Only certified quality steels 

are allowed to enter the plant, even then under 

strict materials acceptance controls. 

Then, totally automated technologies transform 

them into fasteners and other similar 

parts, according to the most common standards 

and to special customer requirements. 

For standard parts production adheres to the 

norms DIN, UNI, ISO and to the international 

parameters prescribed by them. For special 

parts, Mecavit’s own team of highly trained 

technical staff, with the aid of advanced CAD 

systems, determine and initiate the production 

process. They interpret the drawing of 

customers, then develop specific production 

plans to deliver optimal solutions to meet 

the specific requirements expressed by the 

customer, for example in achieving higher 

levels of safety or integrity than defined by 

the norms, or by ensuring the final product 

will perform to higher standards. 

Each year Mecavit programmes a series if 

new investments in production and development 

technology. The company also, though, 

places great emphasis on ensuring a highly 

responsive attitude to its market. In doing so 

it has a clear objective to differentiate itself in 

the market through its technical capabilities, 

its production efficiency and also its commercial 

ability. 

CUSTOMER SUPPORT: 

Customers of Mecavit are to be found in a 

whole range of prestige industries as well 

as in the distribution market. What they all 

have in common is an appreciation and trust 

in the reliability with which Mecavit supports 

them. It is a reputation Mecavit values 

deeply and constantly seeks to uphold. 

Linking Mecavit’s manufacturing capability 

to its customers’ requirements is an efficient 

and dedicated pre and post sale commercial 

operation. One of the keys to its continued 

success is a management system, which 

controls the flow of information throughout 

the production and logistics operations. 

The management of the Mecavit warehouse 

is fully automated. The warehouse creates 

orders on the production operation based 

according to demand trends calculated on 

an historical base. Thousands of references 

are therefore in a “ready for delivery” status, 

available for prompt despatch to the customer, 

with a simple order of the computer. This ensures 

that delivery lead times are maintained 

at minimum possible levels. 

Concerning product innovations, the technical 

catalogue and every relevant detail of Mecavit’s 

web site are constantly updated to provide 

new possibilities for dialogue and partnership 

with customers in every part of the world. 

QUALITY: 

The quality system of Mecavit, is internationally 

certified in compliance with the 

norms UNI EN ISO 9001:2008 “ VISION” 

carried out by “TUV” Italy. Mecavit has 

already successfully completed the third, 

three-yearly, renewal of its certification. The 

company is particularly proud that the certification 

agency numbers Mecavit amongst the 

highest echelons of the companies accorded 

this high quality standard. 

To ensure the highest standards of production 

quality Mecavit systems include the 

capability to preview the deformation of 

the steel to the parameters laid down for 

that norm or special requirement. The test 

laboratory carries out an extensive range of 

other qualitative and quantitative controls 

to assure the excellence of the finished 

products. All of the stages of production are 

controlled carefully at the control board of 

the machine, with a pre-determined system 

of quality inspections, including final testing 

of each production lot.

Nucor FasteNer DivisioN

Online: www.nucor-fastener.com 


In 1985, Nucor decided to open a fastener 

facility, expanding the company into other 

steel-related products. Rather than acquire 

an existing plant, Nucor decided to build a 

state-of-the-art manufacturing operation in 

St. Joe, IN. Many people were skeptical. At 

the time, low-priced imports were driving 

domestic manufacturers from the business. 

North American manufacturers had lost 

about 80 percent of the standard bolt and nut 

markets. But company leaders wanted to start 

with a clean slate and do things the Nucor 

way, focusing on longstanding principles of 

quality, integrity and customer service. 

Today, Nucor Fastener is a domestic leader 

in fastener production, manufacturing highquality 

domestic standard fasteners, as well 

as special items made to individual customer 

specifications. We also add value to our 

standard product line through special finishes, 

patches, adhesives and other secondary 

processing. But that’s just part of our story. 

As part of Nucor, we strive for continuous 

improvement. We have increased capacity to 

process wire, heat treat, form and warehouse. 

We’re committed to further improvement 

and expansion. Our goal: continue finding 

new ways to get our customers what they 

need, when they need it. 

QUALITY ASSURANCE: 

The Nucor name is synonymous with quality 

and stability. We maintain the integrity 

of our steel through an advanced tracking 

system that starts with the raw material coils 

and continues all the way through warehousing 

and shipping. Since our dedicated steel 

source is Nucor Nebraska, we know our 

steel’s history even before it arrives here. 

We control the manufacturing process, including 

wire processing (annealing/pickling), 

forming, heat treat, inspection, packaging 

and warehousing. Even after the fasteners 

are shipped, our system allows customers to 

acquire a full history of the steel. 

Our products are quality-tested throughout 

the manufacturing process and then again 

at final inspection prior to shipment to assure 

you of our commitment to high quality 

products. Certifications and material 

test reports are available on raw material, 


outside processing and finished products. 

Our quality registrations include ISO/TS 

16949:2002, ISO 9001:2000 and A2LA. 

We’re also certified to ISO 14001 environmental 

standards. 

PRODUCT LINE: 

At Nucor Fastener, our capability ranges 

from 1/4” (M6) diameter through 1-1/4” 

(M30), in lengths up to 10” (250mm). Our 

production takes place almost entirely 

within our 500,000-square-foot facility. 

Our large number of bolt makers provides 

capacity to meet customer needs and provide 

redundancy across all sizes. In fact, 

when it comes to producing bolt diameters 

3/4” (M20) and larger, we have one of the 

world’s largest capacities. 

We continue to manufacture high-quality 

hex head cap screws, finished hex nuts, 

structural bolts, nuts, assemblies and flange 

bolts. But we’ve also expanded our product 

line to include build-to-print fasteners. Head 

styles, dimensions, grades and finishes can 

be customized to meet individual specifications. 

And through strategic alliances with 

processors, we’re able to accommodate special 

finishes, patches, adhesives and other 

secondary processing requirements to help 

you streamline your supply chain. 

No matter what your needs are, you can trust 

Nucor Fastener to get you the right products 

to get the job done. During construction of 

the Cooper River Bridge in South Carolina, 

for example, about one million mechanically 

galvanized bolts and nuts – primarily 7/8” 

and 1” diameters – were used to support 

North America’s largest cable stay span 

bridge. Nucor fasteners have also been used 

in other high-profile projects, such as the 

Indianapolis Motor Speedway and stadiums 

for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland 

Browns and Indiana Pacers. Nucor fasteners 

can be found in other leading company’s 

products, including Freightliner, Navistar, 

Peterbilt, Kenworth, Volvo, Deere-Hitachi 

and Bobcat.

Rotor Clip makes all of its retaining 

rings, wave springs and hose clamp 

products in a 280,000 square foot 

manufacturing space on 64 acres in 

Somerset, New Jersey. This vertically 

integrated concept is one that many 

manufacturers have abandoned over 

the years in exchange for cheaper-running 

plants in foreign countries. But by 

performing all of the critical steps in 

producing retaining rings in-house (like 

die design/building, stamping, wire 

forming, heat treating and finishing), 

Rotor Clip is able to provide customers 

with quality, repeatable products they 

can rely on to consistently perform in 

the most critical applications. 

Another advantage is the wealth of 

knowledge Rotor Clip employees have 

gained in these critical areas. Engineers, 

toolmakers, machine operators 

and quality inspectors have worked 

together to solve problems and initiate 

improvements. By not exporting 

critical technology to outside sources, 

these key personnel have gained a 

wealth of knowledge they can share 

with their customers to help them select 

the most effective and economical 

retaining ring for their application. 

Although enthusiastically committed 

to American manufacturing, Rotor 

Clip is still every bit a global company, 

selling product into major automotive 

and distributor markets in Europe, 

Asia, South America and Australia. 

PRODUCT LINE: 

Rotor Clip is the only manufacturer 

in the world offering all three major 

types of retaining rings: tapered, constant 

section and spiral. These are made 

to inch, DIN, ANSI metric and JIS 

standards in carbon steel, stainless steel 

and beryllium copper. 

Unlike other companies we don’t 

claim one retaining ring is better than 

another. Rather, it’s about your application 

and what you need to make it work. 

With the help of Rotor Clip engineers, 

you’ll find the one retaining ring that 

works best for you, rather than the one 


that’s best for us to sell you. 

Rotor Clip military retaining rings 

are also available, manufactured to 

military specifications under Cage 

Code 07382. 

Stainless steel parts for military 

need to be made from PH15-7 stainless 

material, which Rotor Clip can provide. 

This material is not readily available in 

Europe and the Pacific Rim, limiting 

the ability of other sources to provide 

certified rings to their customers. 

MS parts made from High Carbon 

Spring Steel are also available; manufactured 

domestically, and processed 

from Rotor Clip’s extensive catalog of 

tooled parts. Finishes include: Cadmium; 

Zinc Dichromate, and Phosphate. 

Stainless steel and beryllium copper 

parts have been certified as domestically 

melted by raw material suppliers 

for purposes of DFARS 252.225-7014, 

“Preference for domestic specialty metals.” 

Certifications are provided Free 

of Charge. 

Rotor Clip also offers single turn, 

multi turn, and nested wave springs. 

A wave spring is made from coiled 

flat wire with waves added to give it a 

spring effect. Wave springs are superior 

to coil springs in certain applications 

because they provide lower work 

heights with the same force. This not 

only provides for space savings, but also 

smaller assemblies that use less materials, 

hence lower production costs. 

THE GREEN FASTENER: 

Using Rotor Clip retaining rings in 

place of threaded fasteners where appropriate 

reduces scrap and hazardous 

waste caused by machining shoulders 

and use of excess cutting fluids. Our 

wave springs provide lower work heights 

than coil springs with the same force 

– resulting in smaller assemblies that use 

less material. Rotor Clip products can be 

produced to meet the requirements of the 

RoHS and ELV directives. 

QUALITY: 

With all the recent news stories 

concerning quality mistakes from 

overseas as well as in the States, Rotor 

Clip is dedicated to providing customers 

with a part that exceeds standard 

specifications. This includes providing 

documentation showing critical quality, 

material & heat treating specs, as well 

as lot traceability and country of origin. 

All Rotor Clip products are designed & 

manufactured in the USA in one facility, 

registered to ISO/TS 16949:2009. 

SERVICE: 

Rotor Clip is not just a manufacturing 

facility. It is a support center for 

customers from the moment of contact. 

Whether it’s placing an order, needing 

design assistance, or finding the right 

part, Rotor Clip is there to help throughout 

the business relationship. 

The Rotor Express program provides 

customers with small package quantities 

of retaining rings that would otherwise be 

too costly to process from Rotor Clip’s 

facility. Through a series of partnerships 

throughout the country, customers can 

purchase low-volumes of product at 

extremely competitive prices.

Website: www.smretainingrings.com 


S&M Retaining Rings became 

a division of Schneider & Marquard 

in January of 2001 as a 

result of the vision of the current 

owner Michael J. O’Shea, who 

realized the need for additional 

manufacturers in the retaining 

ring market. Originally a tool 

& die maker, he also brought to 

S&M over 20 years of handson 

experience in the complete 

manufacturing of retaining rings. 

With the understanding of the 

skills and limitations of the other 

retaining ring manufacturing 

companies in the USA, England, 

and Germany, he developed new 

designs for high-speed precision 

tooling. This tooling has made 

it possible for S&M Retaining 

Rings to produce and deliver exceptional 

quality rings in a short 

period of time. 

By utilizing our tool and die 

manufacturing resources and 

Mike’s experience in the industry, 

S&M Retaining Rings has been 

able to quickly grow into the 

major retaining ring supplier it 

is today. S&M Retaining Rings 

initially began and continues to 

manufacture higher volume rings 

in order to satisfy the market’s 

demand for these items. Custom 

rings are also fabricated based on 

our customer’s needs. 

OUR PRODUCTS: 

S&M Retaining Rings has a 

significant inventory of rings, 

including 1074 carbon steel, 

stainless steel (PH15-7Mo) and 

beryllium copper. We can supply 

our carbon steel rings with 

black phosphate, zinc bright/ 

clear, zinc dichromate yellow, 

and zinc trivalent plating. Our 

rings are manufactured to the 

military standard and certificates 

of compliance to the MS number 

are available upon request. All 

of the items we manufacture are 

DFAR compliant. 

We also manufacture retaining 

ring applicators and dispensers 

for our customers and have the 

capability to fabricate custom 

automated tooling for a company’s 

individual application. 

All of the employees at S&M 

Retaining Rings strive to make 

sure that our rings will always 

meet the highest quality standards. 

Our rings are inspected 

continuously throughout the 

manufacturing process with excellent 

SPC results. Our employees 

are committed to total quality 

management from the time we 

quote the job until the rings are 

shipped from our facility. We 

stand behind the quality of our 

rings 100% and are very proud to 

be ISO2001:2008 certified. 

OUR FUTURE: 

Mike O’Shea, his son Michael, 

and the employees of S&M are 

taking steps to prepare and expand 

for the future so that our 

customers may be serviced more 

effectively. We are steadily increasing 

our product line each 

year and will soon be offering 

some metric sizes in addition to 

our inch sizes. 

Employees of S&M are proud to 

say that we continue to manufacture 

all of our products in our 

own facility in New Jersey, and 

in turn are helping to support the 

United States’ economy. 

We at S&M Retaining Rings 

value the relationships we have 

with our customers and appreciate 

their loyalty. We look forward 

to growing in the future with your 

support.

Vibrationmaster designs and manufactures 

advanced fastener testing technology. 

Our products include full-size and 

demonstrator Junker Test Benches to 

analyze and demonstrate the self-loosening 

behavior of fasteners and bolted 

joints to DIN 65151 and the new DIN 

25201. 

We also build bespoke vibration tables 

to suit test applications ranging from 

electronic component packaging to 

light truck test beds, and have used 

the lessons learned in other industries 

to further strengthen our core fastener 

market technology. 

All of our test equipment is driven by 

our patented Variator technology, which 

offers real-time electronic displacement 

control and a closed-loop system for 

accuracy. This allows engineers to test 

their products to previously unavailable 

tolerances. A closed-loop system monitors 

and adjusts actual displacement 

several times per second, for exceptional 

accuracy. 

Vibrationmaster is an innovative and 

energetic test equipment technology 

and product development manufacturing 

business. With a head office and 

research and development function in 

Denmark and advanced manufacturing 

facilities in India and China, we operate 

globally. Our customers span the 

commercial, academic, research, public, 

government and not-for-profit sectors. 

Our focus is on offering highly reliable 

test solutions to organizations seeking 

innovative, market-proven and cost-effective 

technology to test and prove the 

reliability, consistency and safety of 

their products.

TEST BENCHES CAN TEST FAS- 

TENERS TO PREVIOUSLY UN- 

ACHIEVABLE TOLERANCES. 

J100 Junker Test Bench demonstrator 

is a highly portable unit capable 

of testing fasteners to DIN 65151. The 

operator can effectively demonstrate a 

fastener’s resistance to loss of preload 

in minutes, making the J100 ideal for 

fastener product demonstrations at trade 

shows and on-site with clients. At only 29 

kg (63lb), the J100 is easily transportable 

to any location and only requires a single 

phase voltage power supply. Changes of 

fastener size take just 60 seconds, making 

it ideal for product demonstrations. 

Fastener sizes tested include M5, M6, 

M8, M10 ISO Metric and #10, #12, 1/4, 

5/16, 3/8 in UTS. 

J400 Junker Test Bench is designed 

to test fasteners to DIN 65151 and the 

new DIN 25201. It features automated 

reference testing to DIN 25201. With 

its unique Variator technology, it can 

electronically control and vary frequency 

between 3 and 30Hz and displacement 

[amplitude] between 0 and ±2mm in real 

time during testing, enabling a wide range 

of test regimes to be applied. Changes 

of fastener size take just 60 seconds, 

significantly reducing test cycle times. A 

closed-loop system monitors and adjusts 

actual displacement several times per 

second, offering exceptional accuracy. 

Fasteners tested can range in size from 

M5 – M16 ISO Metric / #10 – 5/8 in 

UTS can be tested. 

J600 Junker Test Bench is designed 

to test fasteners to DIN 65151 and the

it can electronically control and vary 

frequency between 3 and 20Hz and 

displacement [amplitude] between 0 

and ±2mm in real time during testing, 

enabling a wide range of test regimes 

to be applied. Changes of fastener size 

take just 60 seconds, significantly reducing 

test cycle times. A closed-loop 

system monitors and adjusts actual 

displacement several times per second, 

offering exceptional accuracy. Fasteners 

tested can range in size from M5 

– M30 ISO Metric / #10 – 1 1/8 in UTS 

can be tested. 

PATENTED TECHNOLOGY THAT’S 

AS ADVANCED AS THE SERVICE 

OUR CUSTOMERS ENJOY. 

Vibration Tables can be used to test an 

enormous variety of products, components 

and containers – from micro-electronic 

components weighing as little as 

a few grams to light trucks weighing up 

to 12,000 kg. Using Vibrationmaster’s 

patented Variator technology, the tables 

can electronically control and vary displacement 

of up to 30mm in real time, 

and vary frequencies from 0-100Hz 

(sine wave), enabling a wide range of 

test regimes to be applied. A closedloop 

system monitors and adjusts actual 

displacement several times per second, 

offering exceptional accuracy. 

Vibrationmaster customers have a 

dedicated account manager who will be 

your single point of contact throughout 

the lifetime of your relationship with us.

“To service our customers’ fastener and 

machinery needs at a level of excellence that 

exceeds their expectations.” It’s more than 

just a bunch of words! It’s been the essence 

of our business for over 30 years of consistent 

growth. 


Hanger Bolt & Stud Co. was started in 1967 by 

L.D. Enterkin. The original operation consisted 

of a single threader in a cramped one-car garage 

in Indianapolis, Indiana. 

By 1977, continued growth had forced the company 

into its third building in 10 years. Shortly 

after this move, both the machine division 

and our wire drawing operation were started. 

Also by this time, the second generation of 

Enterkins had assumed management. In 1987, 

the company purchased 5 acres in Greenfield, 

Indiana (15 miles east of Indianapolis) and 

constructed a new facility. Increased production 

requirements soon led to an expansion of 

this facility. 

Today, our headless fasteners can be found in 

nearly every home in America. 


Hanger Bolt & Stud is a manufacturer of 

roll-formed headless fasteners for a variety of 

industries. Our machinery division designs and 

builds a full line of production systems for the 

installation of our fasteners in wood and plastic 

components such as furniture legs. The wire 

drawing department supplies material for our 

own fastener production as well as other users 

of steel, brass, aluminum and stainless wire. 

Products include: 

• Hanger Bolts, Fully Threaded & Plain 

Center 

• Stainless Steel Hanger Bolts 

of 

• Dowel Screws 

• Bed Pins 

• Rail Bolts 

• Fully Threaded Studs 

• Double End Studs 

• Single End Studs 

• Headless Lags 

Our 54,000 ft 2 facility in Greenfield, IN, USA, 

has a capacity of more than one million fasteners 

per day.

PRODUCTS: 

Wave/Compression Springs: Smalley Wave 

Springs (Flat Wire Compression Springs) offer 

the unique advantage of space savings when used 

to replace coil springs. By reducing spring operating 

height, wave springs also produce a decrease 

in the spring cavity. With a smaller assembly 

size and less material used in the manufacturing 

process, a cost savings is realized. Wave springs 

operate as load bearing devices. They take up 

play and compensate for dimensional variations 

within assemblies. A virtually unlimited range of 

forces can be produced whereby loads build either 

gradually or abruptly to reach a predetermined 

working height. This establishes a precise spring 

rate in which load is proportional to deflection. 

Spirolox ® Retaining Rings: Spirolox Retaining 

Rings, available exclusively from Smalley, 

have No Ears To Interfere ® with the mating 

components in the assembly. Spiral rings offer 

a 360° retaining surface, require no special 

tooling for removal and are interchangeable with 

ordinary snap ring grooves. 

Constant Section Rings: Constant Section 

Rings are often specified for heavy duty or impact 

loading applications. Smalley offers eight 

series of rings from stock in over 1,000 sizes. 

Three Grades: 

• Grade 2 

Laminar Sealing Rings: A Smalley Laminar 

Sealing Ring is a metallic labyrinth seal consisting 

of multiple rings in a groove. This arrangement 

of the rings and the specific orientation of 

the rings are dictated by the application and the 

severity of the environment. 

MANUFACTURING PROCESS: 

Smalley offers an exclusive Circular-Grain® 

Process. This process is not a stamping, but 

rather a continuous coil that is made from 

edge-wound, pre-hardened, spring-tempered 

flat wire. The flat wire has a grain structure 

that is linear, providing exceptional strength 

and dimensional stability. Smalley’s unique 

manufacturing process reduces scrap allowing 

for the economical production of special alloy 

products including a large selection of stainless 

steel retaining rings and wave springs.

COMPANY PrOfile: 

WINGTONE INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. (hereinafter 

referred to as Wingtone) was established 

in 1980. It developed the solid roller as initial 

product, based on nut forming technology. This 

was a revolutionary way of making rollers to 

all chain manufacturers in the world. It successfully 

helped chain industry grow rapidly 

due to high quality and reasonable price. Later, 

collars, of lockbolt, were put into the production 

lines by using the same forming method. 

In 1986, Wingtone applied the one-time forming 

technology into speaker yoke production. 

Once again, it helped the speaker manufacturers 

widely lower the cost and have prosperous 

business for years since then. 

In 1994, Wingtone designed and assembled 7station 

cold forming machines to produce high 

quality products. From that time on, it began to 

upgrade the forming machines from the conventional 

5-station to the 7-station innovated. 

Wingtone was awarded as the best supplier in 

areas of quality, cost, delivery, and cooperation 

for fiscal year 1995 by Panasonic in Japan. 

From 1996, its product types were successfully 

expanded into the automotive and construction 

industries, based on its cold forming capabilities. 

This transition not only diversified the product 


types, but also increased the sales growth and 

profitability. Now, Wingtone has already had 

hundreds of products in production. 

MAiN PrODUCT TYPes: 

Wingtone currently focuses on developing special 

female parts using its special cold forming 

technologies. Its products include: 

• Automotive Parts 

• Special Weld Nuts 

• Spacers & Washers 

• Long Tubes 

• Special Parts 

• Rollers & Bushes (for chain) 

• Collars (for Lockbolt) 

fACiliTies: 

Wingtone possesses the abilities to design 

and assemble the forming machines by itself. 

Therefore, it has a wide range of forming 

machines, which are all made in-house. Its 

forming machines for production currently 

include: 11B, 15B, 19B, 24B, 27B, 30B and 

50B. In addition, Wingtone also has its own 

tooling factory to design and make all of the 

tooling in-house. These advantages enable it to 

reach the customers’ demand of various kinds 

of high-level products.
