ND Industries

To ensure the highest product quality standards possible, we assembled a team of degreed scientists and PHD chemists dedicated to the development and testing of all our chemical formulations. With more than 55 years of experience in the Automotive, Electronics, Aerospace and Military markets, ND has built one of the most extensive product portfolios in the pre-applied fastener industry. Each ND material has been specifically designed to solve a unique customer application issue.

Not one to rest on its laurels, ND’s in-house R&D and Chemical Manufacturing staff continually works to optimize existing materials and formulate new products through rigorous lab and Quality Control procedures.

The ND Technologies Group holds an A2LA ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accreditation and is able to assist customers by performing independent testing for a wide range of criteria.

Once a product formulation is complete, production moves next door to ND’s chemical blending facility where scale-up takes place. The close proximity and collaborative workflow greatly reduce manufacturing time and allow for the customization of materials to customer specifications.

ND’s chemical blending operation annually manufactures over one million pounds of a wide variety of adhesives, microcaps, anaerobics, epoxies, urethanes, ultraviolets, acrylics, and more.

ND chemical toll blending services provide customers with the opportunity to have their own chemical formulations blended, packaged, and prepared for sale.

ND’s Pre-Applied Application Centers are where it all comes together. Once a customer has selected the ND product which meets their specifications, un-coated fasteners are shipped from a manufacturer or distributor to one of ND’s thirteen worldwide divisions or licensees. Once on-site, ND Plant Supervisors and Machine Operators carefully direct and monitor each part as it is processed—sometimes for multiple materials.

To maintain consistent quality, ND divisions operate under strict ISO or AS certifications and, if appropriate, utilize smart factory technology, including vision inspection systems, for in-process checks. Once the parts have been processed, they are collected for delivery as specified by the customer. In addition to standard products, ND also offers services like part sorting, color coding, and even partial assembly, specially designed to make subsequent assembly simple, fast, and more accurate.
