Rexlen has been further introducing new inspection equipment in order to continue to meet the quality needs of its customers.

Established in 1977, and headquartered in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Rexlen Corporation is one of the leading fastener trading companies in Taiwan and is able to offer a wide variety of fasteners and special parts according to customer drawings, including forged parts, casting parts, stamping parts, as well as turning parts.

Over recent years Rexlen has experienced continuous growth in sales, which the company says is primarily down to its continuous improvement in its product quality, as well as the long-term relationships it has with its customers. “We are dedicated to providing products that not only meet but exceed our global clients requirements,” states Rexlen. “A key factor in ensuring this quality is our fully equipped quality control laboratory, which was certified in 2005 and has helped broaden our offering and services – whilst ensuring the highest product quality – meeting worldwide specifications.” 

To ensure its laboratory is able to carry out all the necessary tests and procedures, Rexlen recently increased its inspection equipment, with the introduction of a wide variety of machines including a spectrometer and a coordinate measuring machine.

Another recent development for the company was the opening of a new facility in 2020, as well as introducing new machinery so that it could further develop its product range and provide additional support to customers. “As a business we are committed to providing customers with innovative, high-quality products, and services, and our new facility will enable us to continue to do this in the future.”

As part of its manufacturing capabilities the company uses multi-forming cold forging machines, as well as CNC machinery, and has an ISO and ITAF accredited laboratory in Taiwan and China. This enables it to produce products in diameters  from M3 – M20 and lengths from 10mm up to 120mm. The materials available include carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, brass and aluminium. This includes quality grades 4.8, 5.8, 6.8, 8.8, 10.9 and 12.9, as well as AISI A2 – 70 and A2 – 80 for stainless steel.

“Alongside our wide range of multi-forming and CNC capabilities, we can also offer casting, stamping, hot forging, as well as plastic, rubber and aluminium extrusion for custom designed products,” states the company.

A speciality of Rexlen is its ability to manufacture customised fasteners and work with customers within the North American and European markets in a variety of industries. “We create an Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) process for every order, with our engineers monitoring every production process to ensure the quality meets all customer requirements,” points out Rexlen. “We also have a strong research and development team, who have a significant amount of experience within the fastener field, which enables us to develop new products and processes.”

Rexlen concludes: “We have been in the fastener sector for more than 44 years and we have accumulated technical experience on a wide range of different end user industries. Our relationship with customers is based on friendship, mutual trust, and support, it is not just about business. Thanks to our ISO and TAF accredited laboratory we are able to monitor not only our own manufacturing, but the entire supply chain. This means our customers can be confident that every product they receive from us is excellent quality.”
