Leading-Edge Innovation in Engineering and Manufacturing
(Domestic and Global)

With over 75 years of cold forming experience and shipments of nearly one billion pieces per year, our engineers are skilled in developing products that meet our customers’ needs for performance and price.

MacLean Vehicle Systems (MVS) utilizes a global supply base and maintains expertise in critical manufacturing processes.

Through a combination of in-house manufacturing and strategic outsourcing, we are able to offer custom-engineered products and standard fasteners to our customers at competitive prices while providing world-class quality and performance.

MVS automotive fastener divisions understand the significance of controlling torque/tension, corrosion and other significant characteristics related to proper installation and function over the life of the application. Critical processes are performed in-house or locally.

We research and develop high temperature fasteners that are critical to ensuring “no leak” exhaust emission performance as mandated by the U.S. EPA and other authorities around the world.
