Are you onto the "next big thing?" Let’s talk.

At Crown Bolt, we strive to keep our product and intellectual property pipelines filled with fresh, outside-the-box ideas that clearly improve our customers’ retail efficiency, competitive advantage and profitability. Our commitment to their success and unwillingness to settle for ordinary, drives us to continually explore new possibilities for products, inventory management, merchandising and technology.

Now inviting inquiries from creative, talented innovators

We consider ourselves innovators in our own right and have a deep and abiding respect for others who are equally moved to challenge the status quo. We enjoy meeting companies and individuals who offer new solutions to old or familiar hardware retailing challenges.

Crown Bolt’s company policy is to regularly and openly invite inquiries and presentations from inventors and others who believe they can offer a unique product, concept or solution.

Currently, we’re seeking breakthrough innovations in the areas of:

  • Hardware products, including fasteners; builders hardware; rope; chain, wire and accessories, rod and steel
  • Hardware coatings, finishes, metals or materials
  • Merchandising and POP
  • Mobile applications
  • Secure wireless technology
  • Software programs and programming
