Back in 2020, Earnest Machine completed the acquisition of National Threaded Fasteners (NTF), the premier distributor of hex screws and hex nuts in the United States. This acquisition allows Earnest Machine to strengthen its existing product line and expand into new products and markets in the US and UK. Since then, the acquisition of the NTF product line has strengthened Earnest Machine’s position in existing markets and allowed entry into new markets with the following products: class 2 hex bolts and hex flange, class 5 and class 8 hex hardfacing hex knurled screws and flange. Flange screws, hex nuts, hex lock nuts, ISO 8.8, 10.9 and 12.9 hex flange screws and hex knurled flange screws.
Other products released by Earnest Machine include Hex Flange Nuts which helped Earnest Machine expand the market, and the former NTF 18-8 Stainless Steel Hex Flange Screws and JIS Hex Flange Screws and Nuts also played a role.
