About Us

Since 1959, Level 1 Fasteners has manufactured precision fasteners for the defense and aerospace industries.

As a family-owned small business, we combine more than six decades of experience with modern quality standards: we're ISO 9001 and CMMC certified, and the parts we make support U.S. military programs.
