Rush Orders & Lead Times
Time is not Money. Time is time.
And unlike money, once lost, it can never be regained. It may be the single most important commodity we have. Certainly, no one in business can afford to waste it. Read more →
Your timeline becomes our deadline!
Bolts are often the last product ordered on a construction project but the first thing needed. You can’t pour a concrete foundation or erect a steel structure without them. Consequently, bolt deliveries are critical to keeping a project on schedule and expedited lead times are commonplace.
Who can wait?
Nobody! We understand that. In addition to our blazing-fast standard lead times, we offer some of the fastest expedited lead times in the industry.
How do we do it?
Full Control – Our 140,000-square-foot manufacturing facility is designed for speed where we control the scheduling of all labor operations. We even operate our own hot-dip galvanizing line!
Tracking Systems – We have developed some of the most sophisticated order-tracking systems in the industry to ensure your orders ship as scheduled. Equipment operators scan in and out of each labor operation on every order so we have complete visibility of any order in the system at any time.
Headed Blanks – Our headed blank inventory is extensive which allows us to ship custom high-strength headed bolts in only a couple of days.
Leadership Team – Todd McGurk leads a new operations leadership team that is committed to meeting your demanding delivery requirements.

Zimmerman’s Covered Bridge
Atglen, Pennsylvania
Restoring such a valuable part of Pennsylvania’s rich history of wooden covered bridges required the efforts of a custom bolt manufacturer like us. We supplied a range of sizes, styles, and grades of 100% domestic bolts, nuts, and washers for the project, as required by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
More formally known as the Schuylkill County Bridge #14, Zimmerman’s Bridge is a registered historic wooden covered bridge nestled in the dense foliage of Schuylkill County. It spans 50 feet across a small fishing stream, allowing passage over the Susquehanna tributary since 1875. The nearly 150-year-old bridge was built using a Burr Truss style of construction employing both an arch and multiple kingposts.
