Fastener solutions for wind, solar and sustainable energy

Wind turbines, solar PV systems, and hybrid generators are all exposed to constant heat, moisture and movement. These conditions place tough demands on the fasteners that hold everything together. That’s why it’s essential to use parts that are not only built to specification but also designed for durability in real-world conditions.

Wind Turbines​

Wind turbines are exposed to continuous stress and environmental impact - salt air, humidity, vibration, and fluctuating temperatures. We supply high-tensile fasteners and specialist materials, such as Stainless Steel, Inconel, and Super Duplex, to prevent corrosion and fatigue. Where required, we manufacture custom components in-house to match OEM specifications.

Solar Installations

Solar systems rely on structural integrity and long-term durability. We supply fasteners for panel mounting frames, tracking systems, control boxes, and ancillary systems. Our fasteners are engineered for durability in harsh outdoor conditions, providing strength, corrosion resistance, and lasting reliability.

Hybrid & Emerging Systems

Combined heat and power (CHP), battery storage, and hydrogen technologies are all part of the renewables mix. These systems often demand non-standard fasteners in exotic alloys or to specialist tolerances. We manufacture specials from scratch, ranging from low-volume prototypes to high-volume production runs.

Materials, Finishes & Capabilities

We stock and manufacture fasteners in a wide range of materials suited to renewable applications, including:​

  • Stainless Steel (A2, A4, B8, B8M), Carbon Steel, Titanium, Inconel, Super Duplex, and other Exotic Alloys
  • Corrosion-resistant finishes including Zinc Plating, Galvanising, Sherardising, PTFE and Electroless Nickel
  • Threaded Fasteners, Socket Screws, Hex Bolts, Studs, Nuts, Washers and Special Turned Parts

Need something outside the standard range? Our in-house team can produce specials in Metric, Imperial BSW, BSF, UNC, & UNF, as well as other thread forms. We also offer CNC machining, forging, thread rolling and surface treatment services.
