The History that Evolved into Spinwall Technology™
Avibank opened AVK in 1982 to focus on the design and manufacture of blind installed threaded inserts and studs. By definition, a blind installed threaded fastener is a fastener with internal or external threads that can be installed into a panel, tube or other structure from the front side without need to see or access the backside, or “blind” side to complete the installation. Once installed the fastener remains captive, allowing a mating component to be attached using standard hardware.
Housed in an 80,000 sq. ft. facility, AVK utilizes state of the art cold forming equipment to produce net shape products at speeds of up to 240 pieces per minute. Secondary customized internal thread rolling, assembly equipment, and a “Lean” manufacturing philosophy help to produce products that exceed our customers’ expectations for quality and delivery.
AVK’s sales representatives and customer service staff are dedicated to assist our customers in providing demonstrations, samples, and technical support. Our global network of authorized distributors assist in these efforts and provide for our customers' logistical product needs.
