The prestigious West Midlands News Paper picked up on the exiting few months ahead for Hague Fasteners and we were surprised to get a call from their business editor to tell us we were going to Headline on their Business & Finance Section.
It is fantastic that good news is so actively promoted in a media full of bad news, and the response from local industry and Media experts has been tremendous.

With 46 years of West Midlands Special bolting manufacturing history behind them, Hague Fasteners has announced exciting plans to expand its business operations in Willenhall, into a new custom refitted Fastener Manufacturing facility.
Claire & Jon Hague, the husband and wife team that run the half century old Wolverhampton Family business, sealed a deal on the purchase of a new manufacturing facility at the end of January. The new site is just a short distance from their existing Watery Lane factory.
A significant redevelopment of the new facility is now underway that will see the business relocate in the 2nd quarter of 2017. The new site is almost three times the size of the existing operation and enables major new plant investment, whilst also creating a number of new jobs.
This is great news for the local area that has already seen a number of other Fastener manufacturers close down since the turn of the year.
Hague Fasteners have enjoyed 10 years at their current location. The last decade has seen continued Year on Year growth as they continually strive to stand out in a crowded marketplace by offering the very best in Customer Service and total integrity.
The exciting move to a brand new, custom refitted facility enables a doubling of production capacity that will see even faster production times and a continued commitment to reliability.
“We are proud to see our success continue with the purchase of our new site. The complete re-design and renovation works of our new headquarters is now underway enabling us to move forward with the next exciting phase in our growth as a dominant force in High Integrity Special Fastener manufacturing.”
Jon Hague, Managing Director
It also represents a significant vote of confidence in UK manufacturing. Hague Fasteners also intends to continue their investment in bringing apprentices through from local schools to encourage students to move into the industry.
“when Hague stepped away from trying to compete with inferior imports 12 years ago, we had to reinvent the business and prove the model. We know from Customer feedback that what we do is very special in a saturated market. Our customers know that reliability and integrity are what’s important and it is these morals that have driven us to personally invest in a much improved infrastructure. This ensures The Hague name continues to be the first name where service and quality is valued above cheap imports sold under the guise of quality assurance. When quality truly matters we’ve proven that British manufacturing wins every time, the future is indeed bright at the dawn of many more exciting years ahead”.
Claire Hague, Co-Owner

Small Enough To Care : Big Enough To Deliver (since 1971)
When others fail to deliver, you can rely on Hague Fasteners to deliver. 
This week we recieved a request to supply over 1500kgs of Custom Manufactured SuperDuplex Hexagon Bolts & Nuts in less than 5 days.
Within 24 hours of winning the order the round bar material hit our production facility in the heart of the UK and our loyal team set about the massive task asked of us.
The customer service ethos throughout every member of Hague Fasteners staff guaranteed that our Customer would have the order in hand when needed, regardless of the challenges that would undoubtedly crop up despite perfect planning and scheduling.
It is the pride and sense of achievement that sets Hague Fasteners apart, often taking control of another Fastener Suppliers failure to deliver and acting with complete sense of purpose to minimise Plant downtime and financial penalties.
It was pointed out, after completing production in less than 72 hours, that other fastener companies take longer to supply the certification for their supplies than it takes Hague Fasteners to manufacture and deliver 1.5Tonnes of Super Duplex Fasteners.
As the original Breakdown Bolting Service Providers, Hague Fasteners have been doing this for 44 years, why go anywhere else ?
Hague Fasteners: Big Enough To Deliver, Small Enough To Care.
A massive milestone for Hague Fasteners as the CEO, Jon Hague celebrates 25 Years at the Company.
It’s 2-1/2 Decades since Jon joined the Company on 20th January 1990.
The Company was very different then, having enjoyed a successful growth through the 70’s & 80’s the Company found a global influx of cheap manufactured far eastern imports threatening the high integrity fastener marketplace.
The timing of Jon’s joining couldn’t have been better as the group distanced themselves from the type of characters that were beginning to give the industry a bad name, where loyalty and integrity throughout the industry were failing. It was time for change, Hague Fasteners were quick to distance themselves from the unscrupulous names that destroyed the fastener industry’s integrity as they moved around the industry with malpractice.
Hague Fasteners, with their strong family morals, began a new journey, bucking against the trend, to restore faith in the British Special Fastener Industry.
In 1992 Jon joined the Ralin Group Board Of Directors and Hague Fasteners’ transformation truly began.
Over the next 8 years the individual group Companies were merged into a single Company allowing a firm focus on Customer Service to develop. Hague Fasteners quickly identified, under Jon’s leadership, that the industry was flooded with ill practise, inferior materials and suspect quality.
Hague made a firm stance against Far Eastern imported materials and adopted a policy of manufacturing only from high integrity EU/US origin material. Hague Fasteners walked away from contracts they’d serviced for years as they refused to play in a market where price alone was valued over quality, service and integrity.
The sectors serviced for decades by Hague Fasteners soon started to adopt The new Hague ethos. Subsea specifications started to enforce “non far eastern materials” policies. Critical structures around the world had been held together by inferior hardware for too long. Risks were too great and the World once again looked to Hague Fasteners as the solution to their concerns and bolting problems.
In 2002, Jon’s wife Claire joined the Company with a focus on Continuous Improvement and Customer Service. A carefully planned relocation in 2008 revolutionised the Company and massive investment in plant, equipment and people has seen Hague achieve record year on year growth in the years since.
It is this strong family driven ethos & morals that sets Hague Fasteners apart in the Special Fastener industry. Fantastic Customer testimonials and feedback continue to be a constant source of inspiration and motivation for the Husband & Wife team that continue to guide the Company and drive improvements and growth. The loyal and long serving staff throughout the Company have been brought up on a diet of completely different ethics to much of the Fastener Industry and it is for this reason Hague Fasteners are enjoying their most successful years to date.
Jon Hague, Congratulations on your milestone, looking forward to the next 25 years.

The call for quality British Manufactured Special Fasteners is ever increasing as Critical industry shy away form imported and inferior manufactured bolting to drawings.
