With bespoke on-site tooling and machining, we manufacture a wide range of fixings, fasteners, and bolts for structural engineering. Unlike many UK bolt and fastener suppliers who rely heavily on imports, we forge the majority of our components from raw materials using custom-designed tooling machines.
This focus on in-house manufacturing allows us to hot forge specialist components, including vintage designs for older structures and legacy systems. Our on-site machining also enables us to respond quickly to urgent requests, ensuring fast turnaround times when projects demand it. If you need components produced at short notice, our client services team is ready to help. Contact a member of our team today.
We are based in Wednesbury, West Midlands, at the heart of the Black Country manufacturing area. Our central position gives us excellent transport links, allowing us to supply hot-forged construction fasteners to projects across the UK with speed and reliability.
This position at the heart of the Black Country manufacturing area makes our supply chain especially efficient, so we’re able to respond to last-minute orders in even the most demanding timeframes.

Since our founding in the 1970s, RCF Bolt & Nut has proudly employed a skilled local workforce. Over the decades, our teams have honed their expertise in tooling, machining, and the manufacture of structural fasteners. This dedication to precision and quality has made RCF one of the UK’s most trusted names in bolt and nut manufacturing.
RCF was established in the heart of the Black Country — Britain’s manufacturing powerhouse and birthplace of world-firsts in design and engineering. The region takes its name from the coal seams and the industrial soot that once fuelled the great factories of the 19th century, shaping the dawn of modern industry. Our location here is more than just geography; it connects us directly to a proud industrial past that continues to inspire the way we manufacture today. By remaining firmly based in this historic area, RCF plays its part in keeping the Black Country’s legacy of engineering excellence alive.
From the forging mills of Tipton and Dudley to the steelworks that drove the Industrial Revolution, the Midlands has long been a centre of innovation. At RCF, we carry forward this heritage of ingenuity and skill, drawing on generations of local manufacturing expertise to deliver fasteners that embody the same values of strength, reliability, and craftsmanship.
Our processes, rooted in traditional hot forging but enhanced by modern technology, ensure that every fastener we produce reflects the same spirit of innovation that once transformed the region. In this way, our products are not only built for today’s needs but also honour the industrial legacy of the Midlands.
At RCF Bolt & Nut, we continue to evolve as manufacturing changes. Proud to be a longstanding Black Country manufacturer, our heritage gives us the foundation to focus on what we do best while constantly seeking new ways to improve and streamline our services.
We support both growing businesses and long-term projects where reliability and consistency are critical. By holding significant stock in our UK warehouse and continuously improving our efficiency, we ensure our customers benefit from a secure supply chain, free from the risks and delays of overseas imports. Our aim is to provide a dependable service that adapts to market challenges and keeps projects moving.
As a proud Midlands manufacturer, our people are at the heart of everything we do. Their skills and knowledge of structural engineering fasteners are what make RCF one of the UK’s most trusted bolt and fastener manufacturers, delivering consistently to sectors including transport infrastructure, energy, and defence.
Remaining competitive means staying ahead of the curve, and that is only possible with the right team. We are committed to developing our workforce and attracting new talent, ensuring best-in-class performance across every part of the business. For those looking to build a career in Midlands manufacturing, RCF offers the opportunity to be part of a company with a clear purpose and mission.
As industrial applications evolve, so do we. With our own machining and tooling capabilities, we can adapt products to meet specific client requirements, and when those needs change, we are ready to keep pace.
We continually review our operations to identify where we can improve and what we need to invest in — from new technology and advanced equipment to smarter systems and processes. By doing so, we ensure RCF remains agile, innovative, and able to deliver the highest level of service to our clients both now and in the future.
