Founded in Jenkintown, PA in 1903 as Standard Pressed Steel Company, later becoming SPS Technologies and now branded as PCC Fasteners - SPS Jenkintown continues to operate from the original 560,000 square foot facility.
PCC Fasteners - SPS Jenkintown has been developing and manufacturing critical fasteners since the early days of aviation, working closely with its customers to meet the needs of an ever changing industry.
Many of the materials, designs, and manufacturing practices that have become industry standards were pioneered by PCC Fasteners - SPS Jenkintown. SPS Jenkintown continues to advance the materials, designs, and manufacturing practices of aerospace fasteners today to meet the unique needs of next generation vehicles and assembly techniques.
SPS Technologies was acquired by PCC in 2003.
Today, it's hard to find an aircraft that doesn't use PCC Fasteners - SPS Jenkintown fasteners. They can be found in engines, wings, fuselages, and landing gear.
At SPS Jenkintown we pride ourselves on our ability to satisfy all your high performance fastener requirements.
Turn to SPS Jenkintown for all-metal locknuts and bolts, non-metallic insert locknuts, and other critical fasteners in a variety of materials and platings in diameters up to 3" and lengths up to 48". With more than 100 years of history, 20 major product lines, and 560,000 sq. feet of manufacturing space, chances are we already make what you need or can make it.
At SPS Jenkintown we believe that aerospace is a quality and performance level, not a market.
Unlike many other aerospace manufacturers in North America, our fasteners are used by a substantial customer base not involved in the aerospace market. Markets such as medical, automobile racing, marine, and power generation demand aerospace quality fasteners in many of their applications.
Responding to your needs is what we do best at SPS Jenkintown and we have the infrastructure to deliver solutions that includes the following capabilities:

Quite simply, we provide a combination of engineering knowledge, design ingenuity, manufacturing and testing ability, and systems capability that is unique. Yet it is our pledge to continuously raise our standards. Through continuous improvement programs, we constantly challenge our organization to improve our cost and performance so we can continue to offer you the best overall value in the industry.
PCC Fasteners - SPS Jenkintown specializes in the design and manufacture of high strength nuts, bolts, and associated products.
Bolts

We also manufacture all major recess drive bolts and screws including MORTORQ®, ACR®, Phillips®, Torq-Set®, Tri-Wing®, Torx®, Torx Plus®, and Hi-Torque® in fillister, pan, brazier, flush, flat, IWB, SHCS, and other common head configurations. SPS Jenkintown produces parts to the majority of the standards used in aerospace industry in both metric and unified sizes with rolled threads up to 3 inches in diameter. Finishes include silver, cadmium, chromium, aluminum, and other common callouts.
Nuts
From microsize to 2.5 inches in diameter, SPS Jenkintown offers hex, double hex, and spline drive self-locking nuts in a variety of configurations including castellated, lightweight, self-aligning, close clearance, captive washer, flanged, shear, structural shear, high temperature, and high tensile.
The products are available in carbon steel, stainless steel, A286, alloy steel, aluminum, and brass with a wide range of finish options including cadmium, zinc, dull nickel, black oxide, cadmium type II, silver, and dry film lube. Both unified and metric sizes are available per AN, NAS, MS, NSA, and OEM standards. Please refer to the FLEXLOC®, ESNA®, and GREER STOP NUT® product line catalogs for additional details on PCC standard designs.
Washers
SPS Jenkintown manufactures a variety of washers for use in critical joints to distribute load and indicate preload during installation. Preload indicating washers, available in under nut and bolt head standards, give a more accurate bolt preload reading than a torque wrench for stress levels between 80 ksi and 260 ksi, thereby allowing designers to specify higher bolt preloads.
