Our Story
Keeping It Together Since 1998
Without strong anchoring systems, the structures and equipment you see today wouldn’t last. That’s why Hercules Bolt exists, to support our country’s infrastructure—one quality bolt at a time (or several).
Hercules Bolt & Manufacturing was founded in 1998 in Madison, TN to provide contractors and fabricators like you with the finest American-made heavy fasteners and customized steel products. We wanted to create the kinds of precise assemblies that would give you confidence in knowing your structures would hold strong for generations.
Founded by a retired lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard, we are proud to share that we’re a veteran-owned company. Not only do we manufacture fasteners, today we serve as the top distributor of structural bolts, nuts, turnbuckles, and more. We focus on fast, reliable shipping so you can get the parts you need quickly and accomplish your project on time.
