Howmet Fastening Systems, a provider of innovative fastening solutions, announced a strategic partnership with Austin Hardware, a prominent name in the industrial and vehicular hardware distribution sector.
Under this collaboration, Austin Hardware will serve as the exclusive master distributor for Howmet’s Value-Clamp Structural Blind Rivet line.
The Value-Clamp product line offers an extensive range of options, available in all common materials and head styles. It’s offered in 3/16″ and 1/4″ diameters, offering excellent shear and tensile strength.
“Working hand in hand with Austin Hardware to introduce the Value-Clamp product to industries and customers where downtime is not an option is a significant stride that brings immense value to both of our organizations,” said Ryan Bonner, GM for Howmet’s Industrial Distribution Group (IDG).
“This partnership allows us to expand our footprint in the marketplace, especially within the commercial transportation industry, where Austin Hardware is a recognized leader in the distribution of structural blind rivets,” he added.
“For decades, Austin Hardware has proudly served as one of the select Partner Distributors for the Huck division of Howmet Fastening Systems,” added Austin Hardware’s national sales manager for Fasteners, Steave Klein. “To further support our customers, we have made a substantial investment in inventory, ensuring ready access to the IDG Value Clamp line of blind structural rivets and alleviating industry shortages of this essential fastener.”
