Industrial sectors like energy, aerospace, defense, medical, and so on, owe their continued existence and progress to high quality products from the custom fasteners industry. All these sectors rely on tools and machinery manufactured to exceedingly high levels of precision and accuracy to perform at optimal levels. B&G Manufacturing has been at the forefront of the fastener industry for many decades now, and in this article, we’ll explore what makes the company so essential.
What Makes B&G Different?
Ask anyone and they will tell you that not all industrial product manufacturing companies are created equal. B&G Manufacturing is a vertically integrated organization that carefully monitors the quality of each product that goes through its manufacturing stages, from the raw materials to the finished part. The key elements that make B&G Manufacturing such an exceptional link in the global fastener supply chain are the passion and craftsmanship of its expert technicians and the efficiency of its processes.
Clients trust B&G thanks to its advanced technological approaches, such as rapid prototyping, automated vending, CAM/CAD system use, and advanced quality tracking (MII/SAP). As with every worldwide manufacturer, our system specialists have the skills and experience required to perfectly execute cutting edge processing protocols such as shot peening, ultrasonic cleaning, laser marking, titanium anodizing, heat treating, passivation (nitric & citric), glass beading, and all types of metallurgical evaluations.
What truly makes B&G stand out is a host of intangible qualities. These are the values that are deeply entrenched into the company’s culture and which inform the outlook and approach of all staff members. The B&G family places a high value on innovation, transparency, teamwork, family, integrity, dedication, and growth. All these ideals are reflected in every product that’s rolled out at the end of our manufacturing processes.
Industries That Rely on the Fastener Industry
Any industry will only be as good as the components that go into it, which is why companies such as B&G that specialize in additive manufacturing (AM) play such a critical role in the growth and development of our nations.
Medical
A nation’s greatest wealth is the health of its people, which is why B&G has invested countless millions into becoming one of the world’s premier contract manufacturers for medical OEMs. The company’s 17,000 square foot manufacturing facility located on the outskirts of Philadelphia provides an ideal location for the prototyping and production of spinal implants and bone trauma devices of the highest possible qualities.
B&G utilizes materials such as cobalt chrome, aluminum, stainless steel, PEEK, and titanium to produce cannulated products, prototypes, drills, taps, hooks, rods, crosslinks, connectors, nails, MIS screws, plates, and cages (PEEK cells and Ti).
Energy
One of the most important and sensitive sectors of any country’s makeup is its energy sector. The industry allows us to power our factories, heat our homes, run our cars, light our streets, and defend our sovereignty. The fact of the matter is that the energy extraction and generation process can be highly complex and sensitive. Supplying and manufacturing the delicate and highly precise components used in the coal, natural gas, hydroelectric, and nuclear energy sectors requires massive levels of expertise and dedication, and B&G has these in plenty.
All components, large or small, including twelve-point nuts, spindle bolts, rotor studs, hex bolts, set screws, and plenty of other manufacturing fasteners used in the massive turbines and compressors that play a role in our energy production processes can be found on the B&G marketplace.
Defense & Aerospace
The defense and aerospace industries have been at the heart of all developed nations since the events of the last 100 years or so, when mechanized global warfare, regular manned flights, and space exploration became realities. B&G has been a significant player in this field, successfully meeting the exceedingly high military standards and stringent requirements (ISO 9001, Navy Level 1, ANSI NCSL-Z540.3, AS9100D) needed to carry out critical operations.
For more than 40 years now, the company has utilized exceptionally hard metals such as titanium, Waspaloy, MP135N, Alloy 400, Alloy 625, Alloy K-500, and more to create sustainable military & defense fasteners. With these materials, they have supplied governments and private clients worldwide with lock washers, hex jam nuts, socket head cap screws, gear legs, lock nuts, tie bolts, etc.
Oil and Gas
The oil and gas industries effectively produce the energy our country needs to maintain and sustain itself. With a well-established presence in Houston, Texas, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania B&G Manufacturing has the capacity and reach to provide flexible custom orders and 24-hour emergency services to clients within the Southern U.S.A.
To deal with the heavy stress requirements of the gas and oil industry, B&G uses carbon steels (2HM, GR.2H), stainless steels (A20, 410, 316, 304, SH, 8M, GR.8), alloy steels (GR. 7, B16, B7M, B7), and a variety of exotic metals to manufacture its products.
Final Thoughts
The manufacturing and processing of custom precision parts is one of the most critical functions of the modern industrial world. Because of its importance, we need to ensure that our manufacturers and suppliers meet the highest possible standards, as our safety and prosperity rely on their products.
B&G Manufacturing has been at the forefront of the race toward excellence in the precision parts and fasteners industry and looks forward to expanding its partnerships with potential clients across the U.S.A. and beyond. Call us today!
