Fastners, Bolts, Screws & More

Fasteners, the unsung heroes of manufacturing, hold together everything from automobiles to furniture, appliances, electronics, and industrial machinery. Whether you’re building a product from the ground up or replenishing inventory, sourcing fasteners efficiently and cost-effectively is critical to staying competitive in many industries.

At Global Trade Specialists, we help companies of all sizes source quality fasteners from vetted Chinese manufacturers. Here’s what you should know about sourcing fasteners from China, what types are best suited for import, and why working with a sourcing partner like us makes all the difference.

Why Source Fasteners from China?

China is one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of fasteners.

Here’s why:

  • Massive Production Capacity: Chinese factories manufacture billions of fasteners annually, allowing for economies of scale. They also have a surplus of raw materials that also helps them keep costs low.
  • Competitive Pricing: Low labor and material costs translate into more affordable unit prices — without compromising quality.
  • Variety: From standard nuts and bolts to specialty fasteners in custom sizes and coatings, China offers unmatched product diversity.
  • Material Options: Steel, stainless, aluminum, brass, titanium — Chinese suppliers offer all major industrial metals and plating options like zinc, nickel, or phosphate.
