Custom-made, in small and large quantities, from all metals, TIGGES provides, with four manufacturing technologies – cold forming, hot forging, machining and grinding, exactly the connection elements you need. Don´t rely on chance; rely on German quality, precision and professional handling.

Custom Fasteners – your reliable source

Our advantage, we are connected with our own subsidaries in the european and asian market. With TIGGES USA, we support you with your local cnc production. TIGGES Germany serves your needs with the most complex parts and high series productions. In Germany our production facility manages our four technologies cold forming, cnc-turning, hot forging and grinding under one roof. That allows us to produce you custom fastener through different production methods and combine them (combination parts). We figure out whats the most cost efficient production for you. A lot of times cost efficient cold forming is refused cause the part is to complex   – but we show you, that the switch from cnc turning to cold forming is possible, maybe. TIGGES Taiwan can deliver cost efficient custom parts with less quality requirements. So wether it’s a standard item or a special item, we deliver the part you need. 

Types of custom fasteners:

  • Pins
  • Rivets
  • Screws
  • Socket Products
  • Tapping Screws
  • Washers
  • Bolts
  • Knobs
  • Inserts
  • Locknuts
  • Miniature
  • Studs
  • Hex cap screws
  • Carriage bolts
  • Hex nuts
  • Flange bolts
  • Thread forming screws
  • Self Drilling screws
  • Semi-tubular
  • Self tapping screws
  • Sems screws
  • Plow bolts

Fastener Finishing and post processing

After a part is pressed or turned there are multiple options for value added services. For cold formed parts it’s possible to add a cnc-turning process to reach more complex geometries, that are not possible via cold forming. Often inner and/or outter threads are added for functionality for cold formed parts as well.  But there is also the possiblilty to add a heat treatment to increase the hardness of the part, or it is possible to grind the part to ensure a special required surface roughness. For some application a thread-lock or a company specific marking is possible as well. 

The performance of a fastener can also be increased with a coating. The range of these is very wide, you can see base applications below.

  • Zinc (electroplated)
  • Cadmium (electroplated)
  • Chromate
  • Black Oxide
  • Phosphate & Oil
  • Color Phosphate
  • Iridite
  • Nickel
  • Hot Dip Zinc (galvanizing)
  • Passivating

Custom Bolts and Screws

The most common way to produce bolts is through cold forming. By using cold forming, the shape of the part is achived in a multi-step pressing process. Afterwards, the thread is added by one of the following methods:

  1.  Thread rolling
  2. Thread Cutting by screw machine
  3. Thread cutting by cnc lathe

With these different methods a wide range of threads can be produced. Afterwards the parts can be delivered blank or a surface treatment can be added to yours special needs. 

Fastener materials

Almost all different kinds of materials can be used to manufacture fasteners. It depends on the individual production process, which material in applicable. The most common tyoes of metals and alloys that are used for fasteners include

  • Alloy Steel
  • Stainless setel
  • Brass
  • Bronze
  • Copper
  • Aluminium
  • Titanium

The right choice of material is important for you application,wether your part needs to be withstand heat, requires hardness or is designed for lightweight constructions.
