Portland Bolt & Manufacturing Co.

COMPANY PROFILE

Portland Bolt was founded in 1912 in an old livery stable in Portland, Oregon as a bolt manufacturing and hot dip galvanizing company. Operations remained under the original family until 1970 when it was purchased by Mel Peters and Maury Galen. Their intention was to fulfill the company''s obligations and then liquidate the assets. While operating the facility, they realized that the company had more potential as a viable entity than liquidation offered. They sold off the galvanizing line to concentrate on manufacturing bolts and moved to a different Portland location. In 1988, the company was purchased by Brian Sonnenberg, and in 1992 moved to its current 85,000-square-foot modern facility on Northwest Guam Street in Portland. A hot-dip galvanizing line specifically designed for threaded product was added in 1994 to bring the companys focus full circle as a bolt manufacturer and hot dip galvanizing company. The 1995 acquisition of Seattle based Northwest Bolt & Nut Company expanded our manufacturing capability and marketing reach. Since then, all manufacturing processes have been centralized to the current location in Portland. To this day, Portland Bolt continues to invest in equipment, technology, and the best people necessary to serve you. We are a team committed to providing the highest quality products that will exceed your expectations.
