TINNERMAN® AND SPEED NUT® HISTORY

Tinnerman was founded in Cleveland, Ohio in 1870 by George Tinnerman and was known as the Tinnerman Stove Company, makers of high-end stoves. In 1936, Albert, George's son, created a spring steel fastener known as the "Speed Nut®" in order to solve an ongoing issue with stove shipping. George Tinnerman, grandson of the founder, commercialized Speed Nuts® in markets beyond stoves - so successfully, in fact, that the stove business shut down entirely. Tinnerman® became a trusted supplier of fasteners for WWII aircraft.

According to a 1947 Fortune Magazine article, the Tinnerman® Company used aggressive techniques to change the automobile industry. The time-saving fasteners held parts in place without the need for welding or riveting. At the time, an automobile manufacturer doubted that it was strong enough to hold fenders to bodies. A.H. Tinnerman responded by hoisting a 3,325 pound vehicle off the ground supported by a Speed Nut®. A.H. also created a plan to save Ford millions of dollars by changing the way automobiles were assembled - finding 400 unique places and applications for Tinnerman® products. It became an automotive revolution.
