Airfasco Industries
Fastener Group
1979 - 2009 ... 30 years of manufacturing

Welcome to the history & timeline of Airfasco:

To get you started, here is a little background of our internationally recognized aircraft fastener company. It was February of 1979 and Dennis Dent was in the hardware distribution business. An AN Bolt manufacturing company called Lamson and Sessions located in Cleveland, Ohio was then the largest manufacturer of AN Bolts since WWII. When they discontinued producing these bolts, Dennis purchased their manufacturing assets at auction and thus Airfasco Industries was created.

Our name comes from the first letters of the following three (3) words from what we actually manufacture.

Airfasco stands for Aircraft Fastener Company and pronounced ... "Air Fas Co".

In 1984, Statesville Screw a manufacturing company of screws and pins went out of business. Seeing the chance to expand Airfasco’s production, Dennis bought their equipment including 30 Waterbury Hi-Pro cold headers and began manufacturing AN, MS, NAS machine screws as well as MS20392 pins.

Airfasco wasn’t just about cold forming and ten years later 1994, Mercury Aerospace shut down their business of hot forming. Dennis purchased the manufacturing equipment assets so that Airfasco could produce our line of large hot formed bolts, nuts and pins.

After 24 years of successful business, Airfasco was growing and saw the need to consolidate our warehouse and manufacturing under one roof, moving to a 5-acre lot 105,000 square foot facility in Canton, Ohio.

But the most recent excitement is all about our new nut product line. RB&W located in Kent, Ohio discontinued their nut manufacturing giving Dennis the chance to purchase their equipment and tooling assets.

Since then Airfasco has bloomed into a worldwide leader in the manufacturing of AN-MS and NAS bolts, screws, pins and nuts. Every fastener is proudly stamped with our AFC logo and is made to industry-standard specifications.
