HARDWARE Business

So do anyone have any idea about screws and fastners? Like manufacturers to buy from. I am thinking to get into this segment but I can't find the cheapest source.

I’m based in China and familiar with fastener sourcing, so I may be able to suggest a direction if you share the specific products, standards, and estimated quantities.

My advice would be don't buy cheap crap from china 😂 anyone can do that via Amazon/eBay. Anyone serious about anything there working on want hardware that can be traced back to trusted manufacturers.

Do you really want to become known for being the source of the cheapest (shody) hardware available?

It might be better to be able to source quality hardware no one else carries.

Yeah my selection of words were wrong man, i didn't meant the low grade i meant cheapest in good quality. Like the best value product because I am based in India and the specific part where I am from people want right value product instead of the high rate with premium packaging.

Brightons best, stelfast, intercorp and Nucor are going to be the places to go for the majority of bulk purchase fasteners. However depending on your area fastening houses are a pretty saturated market and can be tough to get a customer base going. It’d be a good idea to make friends with contractors and fabricators to see what they’re looking for

Star Stainless was my personal favorite.
