Our Factory | DingLong Hardware — Precision Fastener Manufacturer in Wujiang, China
We deliver high-performance fastening solutions engineered for precision screws
Three Core Manufacturing Advantages
Every DingLong shipment is backed by in-house engineering, fully traceable production, and internationally audited quality systems.
In-House R&D & Engineering
Our 12-person engineering team handles custom thread profiles, non-standard geometries, and material selection. Pre-production calculations follow DIN 931/933/939/976 with full dimensional simulation before tooling is cut. New product feasibility assessed within 24 hours.
Vertically Integrated Production
Cold & hot forging (M6–M64), CNC thread rolling, quench-and-temper heat treatment (grades 8.8/10.9/12.9), surface coating (Dacromet, HDG, Geomet, zinc-nickel), and final inspection — all on-site. Zero subcontracting of strength-critical operations ensures full heat-number traceability.
Third-Party Verified Quality
Every batch ships with EN 10204 Type 3.1 MTR, dimensional inspection records (IT6/IT7 tolerance class), and hardness/tensile test data. SGS and TÜV factory audits annually. Bureau Veritas, Intertek pre-shipment inspections standard for European and automotive OEM buyers.

Sample Development & Supplier Qualification Workflow
Procurement managers can initiate a structured qualification process before committing to production orders.
Send PDF technical drawings, DIN/ISO/ASTM standard numbers, or a physical sample for reverse engineering. Engineering team responds with DFM assessment and quotation within 24 hours on business days.
Standard catalogue items: 5–7 business days. Non-standard thread forms, special materials (SUS316L, Inconel 718), or extended-cure coatings (HDG, Geomet 500): 10–15 business days. Rush service 3–5 days at additional cost.
All samples ship with complete FAIR: dimensionally ballooned drawing, CMM measurement report, thread gauge records, hardness test, Ra surface finish, coating thickness report, salt spray result. AIAG PPAP format for automotive customers.
DingLong’s technical team available for consultation on installation torque specifications, lubrication requirements, and on-site torque audit support via video call for overseas customers.
Upon sample approval, production scheduling begins immediately. No additional tooling lead time for standard sizes (M6–M36). Custom tooling: 5–10 additional days, charged separately and amortized over agreed production volumes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our manufacturing facility is in Wujiang, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China — approximately 80 km from Shanghai Pudong International Airport. Wujiang is a key precision metal manufacturing hub in the Yangtze River Delta industrial corridor, supporting efficient FCL/LCL export to Hamburg, Rotterdam, Port Klang, Laem Chabang, and Tanjung Priok.
Standard production covers M6 to M64 in bolt, stud bolt, and threaded rod form. Cold forging handles M6–M36; hot forging extends coverage to M64. Threaded rod is produced in continuous lengths up to 3,000 mm. Sizes beyond M64 or lengths exceeding 3,000 mm are available via our CNC machining center.
Yes. Our engineering team regularly manages multi-standard orders — for example, DIN 931 hex bolts alongside ASTM A193 B7 stud bolts and JIS B 1180 bolts. We confirm the applicable standard on every order acknowledgement and production traveler to prevent mix-ups during picking and packing.
IATF 16949:2016 covers design and manufacture of precision bolts, stud bolts, and threaded rods for automotive chassis, suspension, and powertrain applications. We provide certified certificate copies for supplier qualification files. Products outside the certified scope are manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 with equivalent documentation.
Yes — we actively encourage and facilitate inspections by SGS, Bureau Veritas, TÜV SÜD, Intertek, or customer-nominated inspectors. Our QC team provides all inspection records in advance and maintains a dedicated inspection area with calibrated instruments. Third-party inspection is built into default QC planning for export orders above 5 metric tons.
Our HE prevention protocol: (1) Alkaline or mechanical pre-treatment replaces acid pickling for all 10.9/12.9 parts wherever possible; (2) Where electroplating is customer-specified, post-plate baking at 190–210°C for minimum 4 hours per ASTM F1941 is performed within 4 hours of plating; (3) Proof load testing per ISO 898-1 on a batch sample basis. For safety-critical applications, we recommend Dacromet, Geomet, or HDG — all acid-free processes with zero HE risk.
Standard MOQ is 500 kg per line item — the minimum economical run for cold forging and coating lines. For new customer qualification or NPI, trial orders without MOQ are accepted (typically 50–200 kg). Trial order pricing reflects small-batch setup costs; pricing normalizes at full MOQ.
Yes. OEM and private label services include: custom head marking (manufacturer mark, grade designation, customer logo — cold stamped or laser-engraved), proprietary packaging design, and confidential product specifications protected under NDA. All OEM agreements include a signed confidentiality agreement and IP protection clause.
Standard documentation per shipment: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin (Form E for ASEAN; EUR.1 for EU), EN 10204 Type 3.1 MTR, Certificate of Conformance, REACH SVHC declaration, RoHS compliance declaration. For EU structural applications: CE Declaration per EN 14399 or EN 15048. Optional: fumigation certificate, SGS pre-shipment inspection certificate.
