These are HUGE fasteners. I don’t what the market for them looks like, but it is a niche. Wind Power may well be a substantial fraction of their market.

The wind power industry that was going gangbusters since about 2005 seems to be kind of on hold right now.

“Large bolts and fasteners” go into things like bulldozers, paper making machinery....you know, things that are made in China now. Oh, bridge modules (made in China now).

It is power generation in general, from 3” riser bolts, to 4 1/2” socket head cap screws all the way down to 1/2” ferry heads, lots of variety in quality headed products.
Most of the stuff that is bought from overseas is generic B7/B7M & L7/L7M, the Chinese parts are still garbage, but the Korean materials are actually pretty good.
the place I work for had business with Cardinal in the past, there quality was fine, but their deliveries were poor.
But with them possibly going out of business, opens up some potential gains for the company I work for.
