About ND Industries
Established in 1955, ND Industries specializes in innovative, in-house developed pre-applied materials for fasteners. The company provides engineered solutions for locking, bonding, sealing, masking, lubricating, and assembling fasteners. Recently acquired by H.B. Fuller Company, a global adhesives leader, ND Industries continues to serve diverse industries by offering fasteners ready for assembly. This approach aims to reduce labor costs, save time, and enhance quality assurance for its clientele, ultimately improving product quality while saving time and money.
Specialized Products and Solutions
ND Industries offers a comprehensive range of pre-applied fastener solutions for critical applications. The ST-3 formulation is a recommended alternative to 3M Thread Sealant 4291. The company provides a potent pre-applied threadlocker, noted for expanding 20-50% on installation to effectively penetrate gaps, particularly in inert metals and under-sized threads. For high-temperature demands, ND Patch Hi-Temp is an industry-leading patch, withstanding up to 500°F while applied at low temperatures. THERMOLOC addresses situations where standard threadlockers fail under heat. Additionally, ND Industries is a trusted supplier of QPL-Approved NAS Parts, ensuring full traceability and manufacturer's certification of conformance.
Manufacturing Process and Expertise
ND Industries leverages its dual expertise as both a chemical manufacturer and an applicator, offering unique insights to meet challenging customer requirements. The pre-application process begins with R&D and sales assisting in process selection, followed by shipping fasteners to global processing centers. Custom, high-speed equipment is then used to apply materials to exact specifications. Upon completion, parts are returned ready for distribution or assembly. This integrated approach, supported by R&D, Chemical Blending, and Global Processing Divisions, ensures stringent quality control and minimizes material waste.
Industry Focus and Value Proposition
Serving sectors such as automotive, electronics, aerospace, appliance, military, and OEM markets, ND Industries prioritizes safety and quality. For fastener distributors, the company's pre-applied processing power offers increased fastener value, enhanced profits, and added supplier value without additional inventory costs. A global network of processing centers facilitates fast delivery, complemented by a diversified product portfolio and industry-specific materials. ND Industries' commitment to personalized service, support, and rigorous certifications solidifies its position as a reliable partner in the pre-applied fastener industry.
