Star Fasteners HuckBolt and specialist fastener distributor
The UK’s leading distributor of Huck Fasteners
For more than 60 years, the business Lou Huck founded and the fasteners he designed are still solving the problem of coping with extreme stress and vibration, providing strength and facilitating lighter, stronger, more durable structures. Today the product range based on his original design has evolved to include both small and large diameter fasteners, medium and heavy-duty blind fasteners and associated installation tooling.
The Huck fastener range is used where high structural strength is required. Offering a clean and safe alternative to welding and a more efficient fastening method than standard nuts and bolts, Huck Fasteners offer benefits which other fastening methods cannot, including quick and easy installation, elimination of re- checking/replacement, and ultimately cost reductions. Each Huck fastener has its own unique characteristics ensuring that there is a product for every application. Huck Fasteners are used in many industrial markets including truck, trailer, automotive, HVAC, bus, coach, portable buildings, agricultural machinery, green energy and rail.
Through decades of experience working closely with major manufacturers from a myriad of markets, Howmet, the manufacturer of the Huck fastening system, has developed the capability to engineer and produce special parts to meet specific fastening requirements. As Howmet’s largest UK distributor, Star Fasteners has extensive experience working with customers on a global scale and have successfully worked with some of the world’s leading businesses to develop unique and cost-effective solutions to fastening problems.
