OEM and Bulk Components

Engineering the Future of Marine Fastening

We provide boat manufacturers and large-scale canvas shops with loose-bulk components for integrated production. Our exclusive technology is designed to add a premium, high-performance feature to new boat builds as well as a seamless premium upgrade for existing covers.

The STREX Advantage:

Material: Quality, durable materials such as stainless steel, High-Grade UV Stabilized Nylon and EPDM are designed to withstand the elements and will outlast and outperform any alternative on the market. 

Installation Workflow: The STREX system is engineered for seamless shop integration. Our non-invasive installation utilizes the same standard tools already found in any professional canvas shop, ensuring a smooth transition with zero hardware investment. By eliminating the steep learning curve and the need for specialized equipment, STREX allows your team to maintain peak productivity from day one.

Increased savings: Maximize your profitability through engineered flexibility. The STREX design offers 'fit forgiveness,' which widens the margin for error during installation and significantly reduces labor hours. By choosing STREX, you also insulate your business from the hidden costs of expensive warranty claims caused by canvas shrinkage, corrosion, and stress-induced tears.

Tension Load: Rated for 25 lb force per fastener, our fasteners are engineered to have an extreme combined strength while still thoughtfully designed to fail before the canvas, further preventing expensive labor repairs and returns.

Compatibility: The STREX Conversion system provides a streamlined conversion path for existing vessels, specifically engineered to replace standard marine snap studs. (Please consult our compatibility guide to ensure a seamless conversion.) The STREX OEM Line is engineered for integration at the design stage, offering expansive possibilities for form and functionality. By incorporating STREX into the original cover architecture, builders can unlock a virtually limitless range of application options.

Clean Aesthetic: OEM fasteners are able to be installed in a manner which would conceal the fastener for a desirable, streamlined look. 

Customer Satisfaction: Solve canvas problems before they start and offer your customers the best there is to offer in lasting form, function, and overall product experience.  

Inventory: The STREX architecture is designed for cross-platform compatibility. With shared components across our OEM and conversion lines, dealers can seamlessly transition between high-end new installations and snap-cover upgrades. This integrated approach ensures you always have the right part on hand for any project while maintaining a lean inventory. One system, two markets, minimal shelf space.
