Custom & specialty fastener expertise for complex applications. ? Certified quality assurance to meet strict industry standards. ? A partnership approach that proactively supports your business.

What Happens When Fasteners Fail? Most people don’t think about fasteners—until they fail. When they do, the consequences can be catastrophic. ?? In 1980, a faulty fastener caused a DC-10 cargo door to blow off mid-flight, leading to an airline industry overhaul. ?? In 2000, missing fasteners on the Concorde’s landing gear contributed to one of the most infamous crashes in aviation history. ?? In 2018, loose bolts in a crane structure led to a multi-million dollar collapse at a major construction site. One small component can make or break an entire system. That’s why quality, testing, and precision in fastener selection are non-negotiable. At AFC Industries, we don’t just supply fasteners—we provide reliability, expertise, and peace of mind.

We'll be there - every step of the way.
