Military & Defense

Fasteners in the military and defense industries are used in a variety of applications, from aircraft and armored vehicles to naval ships and advanced weapon systems. These environments demand fasteners that provide exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and vibration resistance to meet the rigorous standards set by the U.S. Department of Defense.

That’s why Valley Fastener Group’s exacting standards and lab testing are so important for the defense industry’s needs. Our extended QA process and in-house engineering team work to exceed standards. However, Mil-spec rivets must meet different standards depending on their application, as they are used in everything from combat vehicles and naval vessels to aerospace systems and electronic enclosures. 

The fasteners may also need to resist corrosion in harsh environments, including saltwater, humidity, and high temperatures. To meet the needs of different defense applications, we provide rivets in a variety of materials, including aluminum, steel, stainless steel, brass, and copper.

This variety offers flexibility and a superior range of rivet tolerances.

Whether you need strong-but-light rivets or the heaviest-duty mil-spec rivets, Valley Fastener Group can exceed your needs. We have over 150 machines in three facilities located in Illinois and Ohio, ready to create large batches of identical, high-tolerance rivets. Our quality control and product testing ensure that our rivets meet long-term durability requirements. Contact us today for a quote.
