Garton acquires Boka Bolt Supplies 06 October 2015

Boka Bolt Supplies, a well established UK distributor of fasteners and fixings, has been acquired by Manchester-based sector specialist Garton Ltd.

Garton Ltd is a manufacturer and distributor of specialist fasteners with three divisions – a UK stockist division, manufacturing operation, and import-export specialist division. Established in 1992, Boka Bolt Supplies is a single source of supply for a large range of products, both general and non-standard, to a diverse range of sectors including power generation, mechanical engineering and automotive.

Boka Bolt Supplies brings a well established client base and opportunities to cross-sell products to the combined client base, further strengthening Garton’s position in the market. The acquisition also presents an opportunity to make efficiencies and shorten lead times for customers.

Robert Steele, owner of Boka Bolt Supplies, commented: “I am extremely pleased that Garton Ltd has acquired Boka Bolt Supplies. The combined expertise of both companies will continue to drive Boka Bolts forward and create a formidable team.”

Tim Garton, director at Garton Ltd, said: “Boka Bolt Supplies has a diverse and respected customer base who appreciate both the service and product knowledge that is provided. The additional stock availability and resource that the enlarged Group offers will prove beneficial to customers, and we look forward to continuing the relationship.”
