Tempus Fugit – Time Flies

Founded in its earliest form in 1971, Hague Fasteners soon moved into their Custom Special fastener manufacturing facility on the corner of Brierley Lane and Batmanshill Road in Bilston where we remained for decades.

The striking yellow clad building was iconic in the local area as businesses came and went through the years, Hague Fasteners remained a mainstay in the local area.

The Hague Family who owned the “Winston Works” site were approached by housing developers in 2006. A deal had already been struck with industrial property owners down the Batmanshill Road, and the developers needed the Brierley Lane frontage occupied by Hague Fasteners. The concluding deal was made and Hague Fasteners were on the move after over 30 years.

Hague Fasteners soon identified an ideal more modern premises close to the centre of Wolverhampton. A tailormade custom bolting facility was set up on Watery Lane, with the best of the old manufacturing plant making the short move across the Black Country.

February 14th 2008 was the date of the move, the Bolt production facility in Bilston came to a standstill and the trucks rolled with Stocks and machines The staff padlocked the gates at Winston Works for the last time and made the trip to the new facility in Willenhall.

Improved conditions and investment in new plant and machinery ensured the future was to be exciting and bright.

6 years have flown by and Hague Fasteners have gone from strength to strength since relocating, the Directors & Staff have not looked back, so on this anniversary we take a quick look over our shoulder to remember where it all started.

Fond memories from our proud history.

Customer Satisfaction, Special Fastener, Urgent Quoting

The Change Has Started

Since 1971 we have adapted, improved and continually listened to our Customers. 

It is their opinion and satisfaction that drives us to ensure we offer the very best level of Customer Service. 

You will find from quotation through manufacture, from supply to accounts & payment we strive to ensure no obstacles are in your way, assuring you a memorable service and a quality product every time.

 

One recurring source of frustration during recent Customer feedback analysis showed disappointment at the time taken to quote enquiries. Often next day quoting, whilst faster than the general industry norm for manufactured costings, is simply not fast enough.

 
 
We are proud to boast a significant improvement in 2014, in the handling of incoming RFQ’s & hope we can demonstrate to you the rapid response now enjoyed by our clients.

Non-Chinese Please – We're British

Taking the bus to work or having a relaxing walk amid the rush hour traffic, wherever you are, you will no doubt have a little bit of China on you.

Listening to your iPod – Made in China
Fiddling with your key ring – Made in China 
Dressed to impress – Made in China

Our business has been established since 1971 and in recent years we have seen a massive upturn in requests for Manufactured Special Fasteners of Stainless Steels (and nonferrous materials) where it is stipulated in the supply terms that non Chinese sourced material must be used. 
NonChinese Fasteners


We pride ourselves on the high integrity of all products we manufacture from a complex component made in house to a customers close toleranced drawing, to a standard pin or washer, ground or laser cut in the heart of England. 

We fully appreciate the reasons customers are increasingly asking for manufactured fasteners from EU produced steels and NonChinese machine shops and are proud to advise all of our current and prospective Customers that Hague Fasteners do not get involved with any Chinese or Far Eastern imports.
In a complete turnaround Hague Fasteners are now even supplying British manufactured Bolts, Nuts & Washers into Japan, Malaysia, Thailand and even China, a process we never thought possible when we were losing contracts to these very countries in the 1980s. 

In further support of British engineering Hague Fasteners have proudly completed their first year of Young Apprentice schemes seeing an increase in their Special Fastener Engineering Workforce with investment in youth training and staff development. 

If you have any projects that require small volume, special, high integrity fasteners that cannot be sourced from China or from Chinese origin materials, we would kindly ask that you give Hague Fasteners a try.

As we offer customised bolts and nuts it is no surprise that we are pioneers within the industry, giving our customers 100 percent satisfaction with our products. Hexagon Nuts are basically a type of metal fastener with six sides and are commonly used to fix objects together. While the hexagon nut is most common used shape within nuts there are also other types of nuts available. Socket Capscrews also have a hexagonal centre on the screw head, allowing the Capscrew to bind together with the object. Using a Socket Capscrew can cause less damage than conventional Philips or slotted head screws, which makes them reliable. Ensuring that the Capscrew matches the head type on the object is vital to make sure the finished connection is completely structurally sound.
