Growing Midwest Manufacturer Turns to Trusted Fastener Supplier

When a commercial trucking manufacturer was expanding, Big Bolt was there to help them grow and succeed.

Expansion Runs Into Logistical Issues

When a regional Midwest manufacturer of commercial trucking equipment made its first acquisition, it inherited two additional manufacturing facilities overnight. Each facility had different production lines, very specific fastener requirements and separate regional suppliers already set up. Managing three distinct purchasing workstreams quickly turned into a logistical nightmare.

Setting Up Purchasing Process with One Supplier

The manufacturer turned to Big Bolt, and we were able to review their current purchasing at all three facilities and set up a centralized program with one point of contact. 

“Heavy trucks require larger, specialized bolts, aligning better with Big Bolt's competencies."  -Transportation Purchasing Manager.
