Plant Investment for Special Fastener Subsea Marketplace

Hague Fasteners are thrilled to take delivery of their new 4 Axis Machining centre to add extra capacity to their ever increasing workload.

This is the 2nd phase of significant plant investment as Hague Fasteners continue to grow as they service new Export and UK markets.

A significant growth this year into the Subsea marketplace has seen particularly complex milled fasteners being regularly manufactured to Customers drawings and supplied through Scotland, Norway and throughout Benelux.

Managing Director, Jon Hague, explained “with the successful implementation of the 2013 Special Fastener Engineering Young Apprenticeship scheme the flexibility amongst our new young workforce is enabling us to make rapid Plant acquisitions to further improve the delivery times and variety of complex components we can offer our ever growing number of Global Customers.”


Hague Fasteners continue in the proud footsteps of their founder, they are still a Private Company owned now by the 2nd Generation of the Hague Family. The Company structure and strong financial position the Company enjoy, in their 5th Decade of Bolting Production, ensures needless bureaucracy does not inhibit the firms continued growth.

Hague Fasteners have always led from the front, opportunities are identified and the business plan tweaked accordingly to always ensure that Hague Fasteners are the rapid solution to bolting supply issues around the world.

Hague Fasteners Continued Partnership with Wolverhampton Wanderers 2013/2014

It’s been a rather dramatic fall from grace for local Football team Wolverhampton Wanderers, from mixing with the best teams in the World some short 2 seasons ago, Wolves now find themselves in the English third tier of Football “League One”.

Hague Fasteners have been proud supporters of their local football team, and despite the somewhat less glamorous appeal of League One football, Hague remain proud to be associated with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The overpaid “stars” that failed to deliver the football required to survive in the Premier League or to compete in The Championship last year have been shipped out and the new Management at Wolves have re-invigorated the Club by promoting the Youthful Stars of the future to first team action.

Once again it seems the famous Old Gold & Black shirts are filled with Players passionate about their trade and passionate about the Famous Club that they represent.

Hague Fasteners are proud to be sponsoring 2 of these players and look forward to a more exciting season than has been endured for the last few years.

BJORN SIGURDARSON

Icelandic striker Björn Sigurdarson arrived at Molineux from Norwegian club Lillestrom in July 2012.

He signed a four year contract after joining for an undisclosed fee.

Half-brother of former Wolves midfielder Joey Gudjonsson, Sigurdarson made his debut for the club as a second-half substitute against Leeds United at Elland Road, scoring his first goal in the away victory at Peterborough in September, 2012.

The forward has been capped at under-17, under-19, under-21 and senior level by Iceland, making his full international debut in a Euro 2012 qualifying victory over Cyprus.

 

AARON McCAREY

Aaron McCarey was a highly regarded goalkeeper with Monaghan United before being spotted by Wolves and joining the club in January, 2010.
Aaron had actually agreed to join Wolves the previous September, but the deal couldn’t be ratified until the transfer window re-opened.
Nevertheless, he arrived in November, 2009, to start training with the club and settle in to his new surroundings, eventually making his debut in a reserve game at Chelsea.
The keeper, who has turned out for Republic of Ireland Under-19s, made several appearances from the bench for the first team in the pre-season friendlies prior to the 2010/11 season.
During the campaign he enjoyed a successful loan spell with AFC Telford, in amongst some impressive performances for Wolves reserves.
And he also helped the Republic of Ireland Under-19 team qualify for the summer’s European Championships in Romania, taking place in July.
Prior to that, McCarey turned out for Wolves in a 3-2 friendly win at his former club Monaghan.

Final Video Release by High School Work Experience Colleague Jack

Posted a little later than originally planned, we are really pleased with the final video created by Smestow School work experience colleague Jack during his work placement with us based on the history  & origins of Hague Fasteners Limited.

His inspiration for this video was Hague Fasteners founder Jack Hague’s origins in the industrial area around Sheffield in North England, leading to the creation and development of the company in the English Midlands city of Wolverhampton, which was back in 1971 part of Staffordshire.

The fledgling company of Hague Fasteners soon developed during the 1970s and 1980s into a global powerhouse of  fastener manufacturing and the video leads on to explore this proud tradition of producing custom fasteners for the UK Home Countries as well as for export to a wide range of industries around the world.

What an amazing tribute from one Jack to another.

The world has changed a lot since 1971.  Some industries have almost disappeared (Ship building), newer industries have been created (Renewable Energies in the Power Generation sector), but whatever your industry or location in the world we are here to assist you with any enquiry you may have for special fasteners. 

Please contact us today with your RFQs for any special fastener in any of the wide range of materials commercially available.

Small Quantity Manufacturing Without Idle Claims

Countless companies offer bold claims like “if its standard we stock it, if its non-standard we stock it too”.

Here at Hague Fasteners we offer a simple and substantiated claim. If its not available from stock we will manufacture Bespoke Bolting for you in whatever delivery time you need.

There is no way anyone can stock special hex bolts, nonstandard socket screws or custom hex nut that’s not even designed yet, but once you’re happy with your specification you can source it from Hague Fasteners, manufactured to order, often as fast as if it were in stock, if required.

Being in the Special Fasteners industry for over forty years we know almost everyone claims they can make any specials that are beyond the standard stocked range. The reality unfortunately is not always quite so simple.


That fine thread BSF to UNF Tapping Thread Adaptor that’s non-standard, sure it can be made for you by standard stockists but do you really want to order 50,000pcs and wait 20 weeks? Just last week Hague Fasteners produced and supplied 4 off 1/2″ / M18 Tappex type self cutting thread adaptors in stainless steel in just a few days.

Hague Fasteners have decades of manufacturing expertise producing small quantity special components to all industries around the World, from Major Multi National Corporations to Small Self Employed Operators such as Modern Artists, Entrepreneurs Prototyping or Small Racing Engine Tuning experts.


We are proud to have worked on a Manifold bolting solution to a Private Raceteam this month that solved a failing bolted connection at high temperatures and secured Pole Position, a record lap time, and a First Place Podium Finish.

Small Quantity Bolting Solution Providers since 1971.
No idle claims just real results.

Experts in Manufactured Engineer Studs Since 1971

For over 4 decades, Hague Fasteners have excelled in the quality manufacturing of Engineer Studs.


From small diameter engineer studs for automotive use through large diameter High Pressure Turbine Casing Engineer Studs used in Power Generation facilities all around the World, Hague have the capacity to serve your Special Manufactured Fastener needs.

What is an Engineer Stud ?
There are various key identifiers when it comes to specifying an Engineer Stud. Many international standards exist and Hague can manufacture to the dimensions required under all standards or indeed a bespoke special stud can easily be made to your unique requirements and drawings.


The Metal End is the Stud End that is screwed into the existing component base or body. This is generally 1 or 1.5 times the nominal diameter as specified by purchaser or international standard.
TheNut End is the Stud End which is not screwed into the existing component. A nut is tightened into this shorter threaded end to secure the fixing.
The Plain portion is the part of stud which is not screwed. This shall be greater than 50% of the nominal dia and normally includes thread runouts.
Nominal length- The British Standard BS4439 identifies a range of Nominal lengths from 12mm to 500 mm. The nominal length is the plain portion length & the Nut Threaded End added together.
d – Hague regularly manufacture Engineer Studs in the diameter range M6 (1/4″) through M100 (4″).
Threads Notes
According to the BS4439 standard the threads on the nut end and on the metal end shall be in accordance with BS 3643 parts 1-3. The nut end shall be to the tolerance 6g (medium fit.). This is as normal for a general bolt. The metal end shall be to the tolerance of a close fit (4h) or an oversize tolerance as specified.
The tapped hole shall be to the tolerance 4H or, if it is not critical application a medium 6H tolerance can apply.
Be sure to give the Stud Experts a call with your next Engineer Stud requirements. Hague Fasteners are ready to manufacture for you.
