At TEC Aerospace, we provide specialized hardware fastener manufacturing services engineered for the demanding requirements of the United States defense sector. From our dedicated manufacturing facility in Clayton, New Jersey, we are a key part of the nation's domestic industrial base, focused on the production of military-grade fasteners. These are not simple components; they are essential to the structural integrity and operational readiness of advanced defense platforms. Our work is built on a foundation of precision and an unwavering adherence to stringent military specifications. We understand that our fasteners must perform flawlessly in extreme environments, withstanding intense vibration, heat, and stress. This deep understanding of the critical role our components play in systems where performance and safety are paramount guides every step of our manufacturing process.
A Trusted Partner in the Defense Supply Chain
Our record of performance provides our partners with confidence and reduces supply chain risk. As a long-term, high-volume supplier to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), we have successfully executed thousands of individual contract actions, demonstrating a consistent ability to meet the rigorous quality and delivery schedules of the Department of Defense. This extensive history is not just a number; it reflects our complete mastery of DLA's procurement, quality assurance, and logistics protocols. We are fluent in the agency's systems for bidding, inspection verification, and delivery, ensuring a seamless and reliable supply process for our government partners. We are not just another manufacturer on a list; we are an integrated and trusted part of the defense supply chain, delivering proven hardware that directly supports the mission of the American warfighter.
Hardware Fastener Manufacturing to Exacting Military Standards
We manufacture a focused range of hardware to the most exacting standards, including a wide array of bolts, nuts, screws, washers, sleeves, and spacers. Every component is produced in strict accordance with all relevant military and aerospace specifications, including AN, NAS, and MS standards. This means our products meet specific requirements for material composition, tensile strength, and features like the rolled threads on AN bolts that provide superior fatigue resistance. We ensure all specialty metals, such as high-strength alloy and stainless steels, are sourced in full compliance with the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), guaranteeing material integrity and supply chain security for the DoD. Each production lot is subject to rigorous, multi-point inspection and is delivered with full material traceability from the original melt source and a certificate of conformance, providing a verifiable and auditable record of quality.
The Strategic Small Business Advantage
As a U.S.-based small business, we offer our partners a unique combination of agility and proven reliability. Our domestic production allows for responsive manufacturing to meet dynamic and urgent requirements, providing a level of service that larger, more layered organizations often cannot. Furthermore, our status as a self-certified Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) helps our government partners and prime contractors achieve their vital procurement objectives without compromising on quality or performance history. By concentrating our expertise solely on the manufacturing of high-specification fasteners, we provide a degree of focus and product quality that general fabricators cannot match. For government procurement officers and prime defense contractors seeking a dependable, compliant, and proven source for mission-critical hardware, TEC Aerospace delivers.
