U.S. NUT AND BOLTS HAS BEEN ACQUIRED BY BOLTS & NUTS CORP

ABOUT THE TRANSACTION:

U.S. Nut and Bolts (the “Company”) has been acquired by Bolts & Nuts Corporation (“Bolts & Nuts” or the “Buyer”).

Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, U.S. Nut and Bolts operated as a full service distributor of fasteners and related products. For nearly ten years, the Company has served customers throughout the commercial, industrial and manufacturing sectors.

U.S. Nut and Bolts developed its business by providing customers with reliable access to essential fastener products. Additionally, its Louisville location provided an established presence within an important manufacturing and distribution market.

Bolts & Nuts began operations in Chattanooga, TN, in 1979 as a regional fastener distributor. Over time, the company expanded its capabilities, geographic reach, and customer base beyond its original regional footprint.

The acquisition of U.S. Nut and Bolts represented another step in the Buyer’s continued expansion. Furthermore, the Louisville location complemented its existing operations and facility in Danville, Kentucky. Through the acquisition, Bolts & Nuts strengthened its ability to serve manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers throughout the region. The transaction also expanded its presence across Kentucky, southern Indiana, and Ohio.

Randy Crowdis, CEO of U.S. Nuts and Bolts, said, “In combining with Bolts & Nuts, our team acquires the advantages of global scale while marrying up with a company whose core values are focused on delivering value to our four key stakeholders: customers, team members, community, and suppliers.”
