Products, Services and Standards

Products

COFAST’s core fastener product ranges includes highly specialised and bespoke
fasteners manufactured to customers’ highly exacting specifications plus, standard
commercial fasteners and bearings.

The range extends to over 9,000 product lines held in stock in the Plymouth logistics
centre - many are held in stock for specific customers and their scheduled
requirements.

Fasteners are manufactured from an extensive range of exotic alloys and standard
metals. Many items are safety-critical and used in high-integrity applications that
require precise compliance to standards employed by the defence, petro-chemical,
medical, food processing and nuclear industries.

Additionally COFAST sells products not necessarily related to the fastener industry,
e.g. bearings and transmission products.
