'TO EXCEED OUR CUSTOMERS EXPECTATION IN ALL ASPECTS OF PROCUREMENT AND SUPPLY'
Bespoke
Newstar Bespoke™ is a personalised service allowing customer-specific parts to be manufactured or standard parts to be adapted to meet individual customer requirements. Such processes are available thanks to worldwide relationships forged with several key manufacturers located around the globe and the vast fastenings experience in our procurement team.
Newstar Bespoke™ examples are detailed below:
Made to Order
Cannot see what you require on our website or in the market? Newstar Bespoke™ can help by providing a service that allows customer-specific, non-standard parts to be manufactured or altered to mirror end-user requirements.
Whether the item is made to a drawing, to specific dimensions, or a non-standard material a requirement can be made to mirror demand. Simply email a request and within 24hrs a quote can be conveyed*
*Subject to minimum manufacturing requirements.
Cold Forged/ Bar Turned
Newstar offer a variety of bespoke screw manufacturing procedures. Our two most common processes are listed below:
Cold Forged
A manufacturing technique using a cold working process that squeezes the material into a die before the parts assume the shape of the die. From this, an additional cold headed process forms the screw features such as the knurls or drive of the screw. The thread of the screw is then rolled on the screw shank.
Advantages of such a process are:
- Superior surface finish.
- Accuracy in dimensional control.
- Improved reproducibility and interchangeability.
Bar Turned
A manufacturing technique using rotating machinery which involves the cutting or removal of complex predesigned shapes and thread forms. This process is commonly manufactured using a CNC/ Single or Multi Spindle bar turning machines.
Advantages of such a process are:
- Easier to manufacturer medium to low volume quantities.
- Ideal for high precision and complex machined parts to DIN/ISO spec or customer drawings.
- Ideal for high end/ aesthetic fastener appearance.

Black Oxide
The Black Oxide (also known as Blackening) service provided by Newstar Bespoke™ offers an alternative appearance to any stainless steel, alloy steel items. Such a treatment provides the following benefits:
- An alternative to corrosion resistance such as electroplating.
- Offers an aesthetic and decorative alternative for products.
- Provides protection against corrosion.
Strip and Replating
Unable to source the fastening you require in the correct finish? Newstar Bespoke™ provides a Strip and Replate service allowing such issues to be resolved. Bespoke plating services include:
- Zinc Plating
- Zinc Nickel Plating
- Zinc Black Oxide
- Mechanical Plating
- Top Coats.
Nylon Locking Patch
Having issues relating to vibration, loose screws, or loading at the assembly phase? A pre-applied Nylon Patch is a common preventative action. Newstar Bespoke™ offers such a solution thanks to its key links with specialists in the UK and further afield.
Whether you require a 180˚, 360˚, Horizontal or Vertical patch such a service provides the following advantages:
- Standard patches are available in blue or red.
- Re-useable.
- Anti-vibrational.
- Variable patch length and position.
- Eliminates secondary locking features such as nuts, washers, etc.
- Automatically locks in any position.
- Resistant to chemicals including alcohol, petroleum, oil, kerosene, diesel fuel, and hydraulic acids.
Captivating
Having issues with screw retention? A popular option often used to eliminate such problems is to captivate the screw thread. A captive screw is manufactured/ altered by adapting a threaded section so a thread is reduced to its core/ a customer-specific diameter.
Benefits for such a procedure include:
- Securing a component in a fixed position.
- Reduced screw cost from damage or loss.
- Can be implemented using different styles or materials offering great variety.
