Industry-Leading Fastening Solutions for Demanding Applications

Bossard brings you the full engineering power of Sherex, a global leader in blind rivet nut technology. Specializing in high-quality threaded inserts and specialty fasteners, Sherex products provide robust, permanent threads in materials where traditional tapping is impossible or impractical. Whether you are working with thin sheet metal, plastics, or composites, our Sherex selection ensures reliable joints, optimized production workflows, and a lower total cost of ownership.

Key Benefits of Sherex®

Superior Thread Strength

Provides high-torque, load-bearing threads in thin-walled materials that are otherwise too thin to be tapped.

Material Versatility

Delivers exceptional performance across a wide range of substrates, including steel, aluminum, plastics, and advanced composites.

Vibration Resistance

Engineered to maintain joint integrity and prevent loosening even in high-vibration environments, such as heavy machinery and automotive applications.

Blind Installation Capability

Specifically designed to be installed from only one side of the workpiece, making them ideal for tubing, extrusions, and closed profiles.

Enhanced Productivity

Faster installation times compared to weld nuts or clinch fasteners, significantly reducing labor costs and assembly cycles.

Surface Protection

Can be installed into pre-painted or plated parts without damaging the finish, eliminating the need for secondary touch-ups or cleaning.

Product Types

Blind Rivet Nuts

The core of the Sherex line, available in various head styles (flat, countersunk, and low profile) to suit any flush-mount or load-bearing requirement.

Hex Body Inserts

Featuring a hexagonal shank to provide the ultimate resistance to "spin-out" in the hole, making them perfect for high-torque applications.

Wedge-Head™ Nutcerts

Designed with unique wedges under the head that bite into the parent material, providing superior torque-to-turn resistance in softer materials like aluminum and plastic.

Pre-Bulbed and Slotted Shank Inserts

Engineered for plastics and thin-gauge metals, these inserts "bulb" on the backside to create a large footprint, ensuring maximum pull-out strength.

360° Swaging Rivet Nut

Designed to provide strong, permanent female threads in thin-walled materials, tubing, or closed profiles where traditional thread-tapping is impossible.
