New owner of Pilgrim Fasteners wants to expand

Posted

MEIDOH Co., Ltd., an international producer of automotive fasteners, recently announced it has acquired Pilgrim Aerospace Fasteners, which has a Chandler facility, and plans to expand, according to a news release.

Pilgrim manufactures screws, bolts, rivets, clevis pins and other fasteners for the aerospace market with manufacturing operations in Chandler and a small office in Providence, R.I.

MEIDOH, a third-generation company owned by the Hasegawa family, is a major supplier of bolts to Toyota. It has manufacturing plants in Japan, China, Indonesia, Thailand, and the United States with more than 2,000 employees worldwide, according to the release.

Pilgrim established its Chandler operations in 1998. There are currently 50 employees at the 24,500-square-foot facility, located at 2875 W. Frye Road within the Price Corridor. Its property includes land for future growth.

Pilgrim was recently recognized as Arizona Small Manufacturer of the Year by the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and the Arizona Manufacturers Council and will continue to be led by its existing leadership team.

Pilgrim Aerospace Fasteners has 60 total employees.
