NORTHERN PRECISION ON COURSE FOR RECORD YEAR
OF FASTENER SALES
Northern Precision (www.npfasteners.com), the specialist single-source supplier of fasteners as well as
special-purpose turned and cold-formed parts, is on course to ship 50 million product items this year,
compared with 44 million last year.
Steve Smith , sales director at the Doncaster-based company, says that the company’s wide range of self-
clinching fasteners consistently prove the most popular and this year will account for around 70 per cent of
sales.
These fasteners have varied applications in thin aluminium, stainless steel and steel panels. The range
includes flush head clinch studs, clinch nuts, high torque clinch studs, blind and through hole clinch stand-
offs, panel fasteners and quick release standoffs.
Steve Smith also points out that exports continue to grow – business in Europe has doubled this year – and,
overall, are forecast to record an increase of 40 per cent by the year end.
Among the many reasons he quotes for such continual high levels of business are the company’s continual
improvements in lead time and next-day delivery performance, its ‘price down’ philosophies, and its readily-
available applications engineering expertise.
In addition to be able to provide sheet nuts in a comprehensive range of diameters and lengths – including
thin sheet, countersink, flat head and hexagon types – NP maintains an extensive variety of 5,000 in-stock
standard line items covering most applications and materials. The company supplies self-clinching, high-
strength and broaching fasteners, rivet bushes, weld nuts and studs, cage nuts and blind rivets, as well as
special turned and cold-formed components to customer requirements.
