 They're
the nuts & bolts of our business. |

Mining |

It takes 50 of these 3-pound bolts to secure the electric
engine inside each eight-foot wheel of Komatsus Haulpak off-highway
trucks. Manufactured in Peoria, Illinois, these mammoth 300-ton
dump trucks are the workhorse of mining operations across the
nation. Chicago Nut & Bolt keeps wheels tuming as the manufacturer
of choice for more than a dozen Haulpak custom parts. It had
tried traditional distributors before, but by going direct,
Komatsu realized the cost savings and coordinated delivery schedules
it was looking for in a single-source custom supplier. |

DM1 does its share to ensure that America’s breadbasket stays
full. High demand for DMI’s revolutionary new tillage system
requires extraordinary service from its vendors. Chicago Nut
& Bolt delivers with an uninterrupted supply of 40 different
custom fasteners. Every Monday, we receive an MRP ~chedule for
all the custom parts DM1 will need for the next six months,
a schedule that changes weekly. Our internal systems ensure
that the right parts arrive at DM1 on time, every time. |

GE Transportation Systems makes quality a priority. So when
the company asked its vendors if they had what it takes to be
a world-class supplier, Chicago Nut & Bolt was a natural. Today,
we manufacture all custom fasteners for GE Transportation Systems
according to Six Sigma specifications, the company’s own quality
program that goes above and beyond industry standards. We manufacture
these fasteners in yearly quantities, inventory them on our
shelves and provide a seamless supply based on electronically
transmitted weekly schedules. |

GIedhiIl Road Machinery is a manufacturer of
snowplows and other attachments for trucks, gmders and excavating
equipment. Chicago Nut & Bolt supplies the pins that secure
these attachments to the vehicles that use them. At the beginning
of each production year, Gledhill tells us how many parts to
produce. We manufacture them and ship them as needed. If their
schedule changes, Gledhill knows that, with a phone call, fax
or e-mail before 3pm on any day, we can ship their product by
5pm the same day. |
