ITW Shakeproof Industrial

Known as ITW Shakeproof Industrial today, the company is the result of a 2010 merger of ITW businesses that have a long, rich history in the industrial fastener market. Shakeproof was formed in 1923 when it introduced the Twisted Tooth Lock Washer. Since 1923 ITW Shakeproof Industrial has developed multiple innovative plastic screw designs – such as BosScrew®, GripeTide™, and Plastite™ – that have gone on to become industry standards. ITW Shakeproof has continued to invent products that revolutionized the metal stamping industry since its 1923 invention of the twisted tooth lock washer. ITW Shakeproof Industrial goes above and beyond expectations, providing innovative solutions to tackle your everyday challenges. This history dates to the 1920s, when two of ITW Shakeproof Industrial’s main product lines were created. Rein Leitzke, established in 1929, was created through the merger of well-known fastener manufacturers Medalist Rein Leitzke and Hobbs. Together, these companies have decades of problem solving, product design, and manufacturing experience, which is demonstrated in the quality of the products you receive.
