The origins of Nord-Lock Group can be traced back to 1982, when the company introduced the original wedge-locking washer. Since then, Nord-Lock Group has grown into a global engineering group, consisting of three additional technology brands: Superbolt®, Boltight® and Expander®. Visitors to Fastener Fair Global will get to experience the latest product achievements first-hand, along with a first class technical support service offering. 

At the end of 2023, Nord-Lock became the first company to obtain CE Marking for securing washers. Now, Nord-Lock has expanded the range of CE Marked products, with one notable product being the Nord-Lock X-series washer. This innovative product features a conical shape, making it excel at keeping bolted connections tightened and secure even when the mating material expands or contracts due to thermal effects.

Another noteworthy addition is the recently launched wedge-locking washer that comes pre-coated in black, ideal for applications where camouflaging is critical. Just like the original wedge-locking washers, the black washers will never loosen unintentionally; they provide unparalleled corrosion protection; and offer opportunities to streamline operations since no additional paint job is required. Combined with Nord-Lock Group’s global availability and unmatched lead times, the black washer is a valuable addition for critical missions, when there is no time to lose and much on the line.

“Nord-Lock Group goes beyond delivering industry leading bolting solutions by acting as a trusted partner to customers in numerous industries. Meeting face-to-face with existing and potential partners to build strong, reciprocal relationships is something we put a lot of effort into,” comments the company. “When working with Nord-Lock Group, you can rest assured that you will receive the highest quality in both products and business partnerships.”
