The Boltholder Ltd is a specialist in the supply of bolts, nuts and steel fasteners to thousands of customers throughout New Zealand.
The main product range includes high tensile bolts (8.8, 10.9 and 12.9, Gr5, Gr8 and Gr9), B7 studding, threaded rod, lifting equipment, nuts and washers, backed by a fully equipped engineering workshop where special products and sizes can be machined to order, including studding, U-bolts, gaskets and unusual bolts.
In 1983, after trouble sourcing bolts urgently needed to complete a job, the founders spied a hole in the market. Living in Auckland at the time, they sold their home, purchased a stock of bolts with the proceeds, and started their own business, The Boltholder, choosing Matamata to set up shop for its friendly, quiet but progressive character and its central location to Auckland, Hamilton and the Bay of Plenty.
As the reputation for outstanding service and an extensive range grew, so too did the company. From humble beginnings, The Boltholder now has a 1,000 square-metre warehouse holding 700 tonnes of stock.
The secret to their success has been never changing the values that got them here: putting customers first, going the extra mile, working hard, and being honest and fair.
