, /PRNewswire/ — Spartan Fastener, a leading manufacturer and distributor of high-performance fastening solutions, announced today the acquisition of American Jebco, a trusted supplier of specialty fasteners and rivets. The strategic acquisition strengthens Spartan Fastener’s product offering, manufacturing capabilities, and position in critical markets across North America.
Founded in 1903, American Jebco has built a reputation for quality, precision, and customer service, serving industries such as automotive, construction/hardware, and fire safety equipment. By integrating Jebco’s specialized products with Spartan’s extensive fastening solutions, the combined company will deliver greater value to customers through a broader product portfolio, increased manufacturing flexibility, and enhanced supply chain efficiency.
“This acquisition marks a major milestone in our growth strategy,” said Tim Cash, CEO of Spartan Fastener. “American Jebco shares our commitment to excellence. Together, we are better positioned to serve our customers with industry-leading quality, shorter lead times, and expanded offerings. The return of U.S.-based manufacturing, combined with our substantial production capacity, makes this the right time to join forces to capitalize on the opportunities in the fastener industry.”
Key leadership from American Jebco will remain in place, preserving institutional knowledge and customer relationships while benefiting from the expanded resources and scale of Spartan Fastener.
“I am thrilled to be joining the Spartan Fastener team,” said Eddie O’Connor, Vice President of Sales. “We are combining our respective strengths with one over-arching goal: to better serve our customers. With their advanced capabilities and our continued commitment to service, we are positioned for a strong future. We are keeping our valued customer relationships intact, and with my brother Pete O’Connor staying on as Materials Manager, there’s a great sense of continuity.”
The acquisition is effective immediately, with a focus on ensuring a seamless transition for customers, employees, and suppliers. Both companies remain committed to maintaining the highest standards of quality and service throughout the transition. Financial terms were not disclosed.
