Fastenerdata the fastener dimensional, technical and sourcing website

Fastenerdata was conceived in 2006, by the start of 2008 the process of converting technical data into electronic format commenced. The fastenerdata site was ready to 'go live' in 2010; hower with the world markets in recession, the launch was delayed until January 2014. 

In 2016 after 2 1/2 years in business, a new fastenerdata website was designed, building on the strengths of the 2014 site and adding new features, flexibility and an ultra-modern look. 

It has been a pleasure to channel years of knowledge into fastenerdata; I am sure you will find the informative fastener data of value. 

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you wish to advertise on the website, contribute fastener related information or add amendments and corrections.
