Our History

Founded more than 50 years ago, PREBENA is an industry leader in Germany and throughout many parts of the world. PREBENA is recognized for unrelenting quality and high manufacturing standards. In an effort to expand globally, PREBENA co-founded North American Fastener Corp. in 1987 and opened a new production facility in Bridgeport, West Virginia. The company successfully produced various types of fasteners until the housing crisis in 2007 / 2008. Afterwards, despite several attempts to stabilize the company, it faced difficult times and this lead to a steep decline in the number of employees. 

 In early 2013, PREBENA purchased the outstanding shares and implemented new management. After a tough turnaround, PREBENA North American Fasteners Corp. not only grows steadily in local production, number of employees and sales, but also invests in upgraded production machinery and building improvement... We are here to stay!
