50 Years of Manufacturing Excellence for RCF Bolt & Nut

Posted on by RCF Bolt & Nut

RCF Bolt & Nut proudly celebrates 50 years since incorporation this July, marking a significant milestone in the company’s history. Since 1976, RCF has established itself as a trusted supplier of high-quality industrial fasteners, and has built a reputation for dependable products, technical expertise, and outstanding customer service.

Reaching this milestone is a testament to the dedication of our employees, the loyalty of our customers and the strong relationships we have built with suppliers and business partners over the past half a century.

Managing Director Adrian Garrett said: ‘It’s a fantastic achievement for the business to reach 50 years. We’re proud to celebrate this milestone and grateful to everyone who has contributed to RCF’s successes’

As we celebrate 50 years in business, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who has been part of our journey. The continued trust and support of our customers, suppliers, partners and employees have been fundamental to our success and remain at the heart of everything we do.

While this anniversary is an opportunity to reflect on our history, it is also a chance to look ahead. RCF Bolt & Nut remains committed to investing in the future, expanding our capabilities, and continuing to deliver the high standards of quality and service that have defined the business since 1976.

Annual Easter Egg Drive Supports Teenage Cancer Trust

Posted on by RCF Bolt & Nut

We were delighted to once again take part in our annual Easter Egg Drive, bringing together the teams from the shared office between RCF Bolt & Nut Co Ltd and Union Fasteners to support Teenage Cancer Trust.

Thanks to the generosity of our colleagues, we were able to collect a fantastic number of Easter egg donations. Each year, this initiative continues to grow, and it’s always great to see everyone get involved and contribute.

This is a charity that’s particularly close to the hearts of our team that we support year on year. We’re proud to play a small part in bringing comfort and positivity during what can be an incredibly challenging time for young people and their families.

A big thank you goes to Cathy for ensuring all donations were delivered safely to the hospital. Efforts like this make a real difference and highlight the importance of teamwork both inside and outside of the workplace.

RCF Bolt & Nut secures a £10,000 grant from Walsall Business Support to help fund its new Doosan Lynx 2100LB CNC lathe investment.

Walsall Business Support Provides £10,000 Grant for CNC Machinery

Posted on by RCF Bolt & Nut

We are pleased to have secured a £10,000 grant from Walsall Business Support towards our investment in advanced CNC technology. The funding, awarded in October, contributed towards the purchase of our new Doosan Lynx 2100LB CNC lathe and forms part of our continued programme of machine shop development and expansion.

This type of backing allows us to move forward with key investments while maintaining a clear focus on quality and capability. In addition, it highlights the importance of advanced manufacturing within the Black Country and shows that local organisations recognise the value of precision engineering businesses like ours. Support of this kind gives us added confidence to continue strengthening UK-based production and investing for the long term.

The Doosan Lynx 2100LB has already made a strong impact within the machine shop. It improves consistency, delivers tighter tolerances, and increases flexibility across a wide range of materials. As a result, we can machine a broader range of components in-house while maintaining the high standards our customers expect. The additional capacity also supports improved workflow and efficiency across the wider production process.

We are proud to operate in the Black Country, and it is encouraging to see local support directed towards manufacturers who are actively investing in modern technology. Funding from Walsall Business Support reflects real confidence in our work, our team, and our commitment to continuous improvement.

We’re incredibly thankful for the recognition to receive support like this towards our investments. Please keep an eye on our news and LinkedIn pages for company updates and announcements.

RCF Bolt & Nut's company van shared with sister company Union Fasteners

A Fresh New Look for RCF Bolt & Nut’s Company Van

Posted on by RCF Bolt & Nut

We’re proud to reveal the brand-new look of our company van. We worked closely with the team at GingerApple Signs & Graphics Ltd, to refresh the vehicle branding for both RCF Bolt & Nut and our sister company Union Fasteners. The updated design reflects our brand clearly and consistently, while presenting a clean and modern finish that matches the standards we deliver every day.

Our van is on the road most days, visiting customers and suppliers across the West Midlands and beyond. Because of this, it plays an important role in how our business is seen. Whether we are arriving on site, making deliveries, or meeting customers face to face, the vehicle represents our company just as much as our products and service do.

We wanted the new branding to feel bold, professional, and instantly recognisable. The refreshed graphics now showcase both businesses clearly and strengthen our presence wherever we travel. In addition, the updated look ensures consistency across our wider branding and marketing materials.

We’re looking forward to putting plenty of miles on the van and continuing to support customers across the region. At the same time, we’re proud to represent the RCF Bolt & Nut and Union Fasteners names on the road every day.
