Expansion News at Crescent Manufacturing

March 2008 - Crescent Manufacturing takes on the World Market

This past fall Crescent participated in the Fastener Fair trade Show in Stuttgart, Germany. This was the first time in several years since we had pursued the European market.

With the Dollar favorable for trade there was much interest in our product line and many new distributor contacts were begun. Crescent is presently represented in England, France, Spain, Italy, and Germany. We know we have had contacts through our US distributors branches in Europe and hope we can continue to expand our presence.

Neil Morrison, aircraft Components & Equipment Supplies Ltd, in England has been repping Crescent for almost a year now in Europe. Neil was a great help at the Fastener Fair as well as continuing to keeping Crescent’s name out in the distributor community. If you wish to contact us through Neil he can be reached at 44-1932-701417, fax 44-1932-701419, or email neil@acraftcomp.demon.co.uk.

Crescent will again be present at this year’s Fastener Fair being held in Coventry, England in June. Ginger Doherty, International Sales and Dick Hrinak, President, will be crossing the pond to join Neil in manning Booth F8. We would be honored to have you stop and discuss any fastener issues may have that Crescent can assist you with.

This website has also enabled Crescent to expand our presence in other countries outside the European Market. We now have distribution business either current or developing in South America, India, Australia, and the Middle East.

All sales are being handled by our experienced knowledgeable sales staff at our world headquarters, in Burlington Connecticut. Please feel free to contact them for any of your fasteners needs in sizes 00 to 5/16, or M1.4 to M8.

January 2008 - Product Line Expansion News

Crescent Manufacturing has recently purchased two Waterbury 3/8 Headers in an effort to expand our product offering to our customers. This acquisition will allow us to increase our length and shoulder capabilities. We will remain at our present 5/16 maximum diameter size range.

Crescent Manufacturing is now able to manufacture #6 thru 5/16 diameter parts in lengths up to 3 inches under head for any threaded items, or 4 inches under head for any solid rivets or another unthreaded parts. As always, there is only a 1000 piece minimum requirement per item. Deliveries are presently running about 8 weeks.

The shoulder, or grip parts, are under development as we work to determine the maximum lengths and diameters for the #6 thru 5/16 sizes. This will enable us to offer a more extensive line on such military parts as the MS27039, MS24694 and the NA525 that we are presently very limited on. This increase in capability will also extend to our full offerings of commercial parts and specials. We will be able to begin quoting these items within the next month.

Spring 2007 - STAR DRIVES

As we have expanded our line over the past several years with the addition of "STAR DRIVES" or " SIX-LOBES", we have also added a new head style that is quite common for this drive. Crescent now includes "BUTTON" heads as part of our offerings.

Please call or fax over your inquiries for pricing and delivery information. We like to keep up with your requirement demands and again have tried to fill those niches for you.

Need SIX-LOBE BUTTON HEADS - think Crescent STAR BUTTONS sizes 2-10 or M3-M5.

Winter 2007 - Headers & Thread Rollers

In an effort to improve our delivery times, Crescent has recently purchased three Waterbury Farrel Hi-Pro Headers, and a Hartford 500 Thread Roller. We have also added another Threader Operator to our team.

All these additions demonstrate our continuing effort to increase output and lower our lead times. Something we know will make everyone happy.

We have also acquired a Mittutoyo Digital Optical Comparator which will allow us a more thorough examination of your parts and assure the best quality part we can offer.
