DRD

DRD Corporation was founded in 1996 in the pursuit of creating a superior alternative to commonly used plastic fasteners for strap. Until then, typical plastic fasteners were severely limited by problems inherent to their decades-old designs. Despite their widespread use, they offer poor performance for a wide range of applications, particularly in... the harsh outdoor and marine environments where they lack many desired qualities including strength and adjustability. Over the years, while the manufacturers of such plastic fastener products have done nothing more than change the appearance of generic fastener designs and have therefore failed to address their inherent problems, we took a different approach. Our initial objective was clear: To create a plastic alternative to metal fasteners that would offer the performance, reliability, adjustability, and positive-locking nature previously only found in metal cam type fasteners. Hundreds of prototypes and countless design changes later, we achieved this goal and we immediately started improving a wide range of products through the use of what was to become the award-winning, Load Lock FASTener®. There are now a rapidly growing number of marine, household, automotive, aviation, sporting goods, pet and other products that have been greatly enhanced through the use of the patented Load Lock® mechanism. Over the years we have evolved with our product lines while building upon our design experience, state of the art production machinery, prototyping systems and testing equipment. We manufacture our products in the USA with much of the production being done at our facility in Pennsylvania. As an added service to our diverse customer base, we offer many of our design, engineering, and product development services to others who may benefit from our in-depth experience at all stages of the product life cycle. We not only welcome inquiries regarding the customization and prototyping of our products for a specific task, but also requests for design development work for ...Read More
