Bolting Down the Future: How Avlock International is Fastening South Africa’s Industries Together

When you look at a vehicle rolling off an assembly line, a high-rise being built, or even a heavy piece of mining equipment doing its job—there’s one invisible hero holding it all together: the humble fastener.

At Avlock International, based in Boksburg, South Africa, fasteners aren’t just parts—they’re precision solutions. For decades, Avlock has been the go-to name for lockbolts, rivets, blind rivet-nuts, and structural fastening systems trusted by industries where failure simply isn’t an option.

Beyond Nuts and Bolts: The Avlock Difference

What makes Avlock stand out in a crowded market is not just the product range, but the end-to-end service.

• Engineered for strength – From lockbolts to speed fasteners, every product is designed for maximum reliability.

• ISO Certified Quality – Holding ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications, Avlock ensures every fastener meets global standards of quality, environmental responsibility, and workplace safety.

This means their fasteners don’t just arrive in a box—they come with expertise, reliability, and peace of mind.

Building South Africa’s Backbone

Avlock International is a proud supplier to Ford, Toyota, MAN, VW, and Bell Equipment—household names in automotive and heavy machinery. That’s proof enough of the trust and confidence leading manufacturers have in our fastening solutions.

And yet, Avlock’s impact goes beyond automotive. Our products are critical in construction, mining, transport, energy, and manufacturing—sectors that form the backbone of South Africa’s economy.

Fastening the Future

Every bolt they design, every rivet they manufacture, and every tool they service contributes to a larger vision: a future where South African engineering is synonymous with strength, safety, and innovation.

At Avlock International, we're not just in the business of fasteners—we're in the business of holding industries together.
