Thomas Smith Fasteners exports Imperial Nuts and Bolts to Australia

On a recent visit to Australia, our Business Development Manager Stuart Briscoe obtained orders for imperial nuts and bolts for an Australian power station.  This follows on from our recent orders from Australian classic car restorers for BA and BSF fasteners.

The order included stainless steel and high tensile imperial threadform fasteners.

We hold the UK’s largest stocks of BSW, BSF, BA, UNC and UNF fasteners and now export to more than 35 countries around the world.
