Ireland, with its 3,171 kilometers of coastline, is at the forefront of the global "Blue Economy." From the bustling ports of Dublin and Cork to the burgeoning offshore wind farms in the Irish Sea, the demand for high-integrity, corrosion-resistant fasteners has never been higher. As a specialized Marine Grade Fasteners Manufacturer & Supplier, VLC provides the critical components that withstand the aggressive Atlantic salt spray and harsh subsea environments.
With Ireland's "Climate Action Plan" targeting 7GW of offshore wind by 2030, we supply high-tensile 316L and duplex fasteners specifically designed for wind turbine foundations and transition pieces in the Irish Sea and Atlantic projects.
Supporting heritage and modern shipyards in Belfast and Cork, our fasteners meet rigorous marine certifications. We provide anti-rattle latches, eye bolts, and custom studs for naval vessels and commercial trawlers alike.
Ireland is a global hub for life sciences. Our Grade 2 and Grade 5 Titanium fasteners and Silicon Bronze bolts are essential for chemical processing plants and cleanroom environments where corrosion resistance is paramount.
VLC stands as a premier global leader in bolts and screws manufacturing. With over 20 years of specialized expertise in fastener technology, we have scaled our production to meet the most demanding international standards, including ISO 9001 and CE certifications required for the Irish and EU markets.
Our facility, established in 2006, specializes in high-strength hex bolts, structural studs, and custom marine-grade hardware. Our mission is clear: to be the first-choice manufacturer for Irish industries seeking reliability, precision, and longevity.
Utilizing high-speed lathes to ensure tight tolerances for critical marine components used in Shannon Foynes Port infrastructure.
Complex geometry bolts and custom titanium parts for the aerospace sector in Shannon and Dublin.
Mass production capabilities for 8.8 and 10.9 grade fasteners used in Irish solar farm mounting systems.
In the Irish Sea, chloride-induced pitting is a constant threat. We utilize 316L (Low Carbon) stainless steel with a minimum 2% Molybdenum content to ensure our fasteners outlast standard hardware in coastal splash zones.
From ASTM A193 B7 studs to Grade 8.8 solar bolts, our products are cold-forged and heat-treated to meet EN 10204 3.1 certification standards, providing peace of mind for Irish civil engineers.
No two projects are the same. We offer custom cold-forging for M1.4 up to M72 sizes, ensuring that whether you are repairing a yacht in Galway or building a pier in Donegal, you have the perfect fit.
