John Wolz

Sherex Fastening Solutions named H.W. Eckhardt Corporation as exclusive distributor of Riv-Float, its next generation of fastening technology, a rivet nut with internally floating threads.

Eckhardt president John Eckhardt explained that Riv-Float was developed in conjunction with Sherex to meet a customer need. “The customer used a floating nut plate and two rivets for its manufacturing application and the development of the Riv-Float solves this issue with one component instead of three,” Eckhardt explained.
