Bolt Manufacturer vs. Fastener Distributor

What’s the difference?

We have featured this frequently asked question in past newsletters. However, we feel there is such an important distinction between bolt manufacturers and fastener distributors that we chose to feature it again. Learn the differences between a manufacturer and a distributor, the pros and cons between purchasing from one versus the other, and the benefits of working directly with the company that is manufacturing the bolts for your project.
