Elgin Making Inroads in Auto and Truck Markets

Elgin Fastener Group, headquartered in Versailles, IN, has acquired licensing to produce MAThread® and MATpoint® threaded fasteners. Joe Hertz, EFG Vice President/Sales, stated, “Our range of manufacturing continues to expand. The 2011 acquisitions of Silo Fasteners and Landreth Fastener were designed to accelerate EFG’s growth in the construction and appliance markets, and the addition of MAThread® capabilities will enable us to make new inroads in the production of automotive and truck industry applications.”

The patented thread design of MAThread® and MATpoint® prevent virtually all threaded fasteners from cross threading and/or jamming during installation. Their unique ability to prevent fastener jamming while improving ergonomics have enabled MAThread® fasteners to become the preferred standard screw for industries ranging from automotive to furniture, construction, heavy duty engines, and earth-moving equipment.

Elgin Fastener Group is comprised of five domestic fastener manufacturers (Ohio Rod Products, Leland Powell Fasteners, Chandler Products, Silo Fasteners, Landreth Fastener), a metal finishing company (Best Metal Finishing), and an engineering and international procurement division (Elgin Fasteners International). The EFG companies provide quality fastener solutions for various industrial applications, and are all ISO certified. For more information, contact Elgin Fastener Group, 1415 S.
