Manufacturers in
Jiaxing, China.

Haiyan County in Jiaxing is one of China's three largest fastener production bases (alongside Yongnian in Hebei and Wenzhou/Yueqing in Zhejiang), focused on bolts, nuts and screws. Suppliers profiled in Jiaxing account for 5% of the Fasteners category in our national sample. Profiled activity also appears across hydraulic equipment, fasteners and boards & panels, spanning 42 categories in all, with 45 of the 54 suppliers profiled as manufacturers.

The fastener industry in Haiyan began in the early 1960s with the province's first wood-screw factory (predecessor of what became Haiyan Standard Parts General Factory), shifting to machine-screw production after 1978. It expanded over four decades into a full supply chain covering raw material, forging, plating and testing, and consolidated into four industrial clusters (Development Zone, Qinshan, Yucheng, Zhapu). Recent years saw consolidation of small and polluting plants alongside inbound investment from firms such as Germany's Würth Group.

For buyers, the cluster provides an upstream-to-downstream fastener supply chain serving applications in automotive, wind power, rail, high-speed rail, nuclear and aerospace. Location in the Yangtze River Delta gives access to Shanghai, Ningbo and Zhapu ports plus the Hangzhou Bay Bridge and expressway network. FactoryBase verifies individual data points rather than certifying or endorsing suppliers, so still confirm production capacity, customs and shipment records, and export volumes yourself. The presence of other categories such as those in hydraulic equipment, fasteners and boards & panels offers options beyond fasteners.
