History of the National Screw and Manufacturing Company

The National Screw and Manufacturing Company was incorporated in May of 1889 as the National Screw and Tack Company and operated near East 55th Street and Carnegie Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. It acquired Union Steel and Screw Company in 1908. The company produced woodscrews, machine screws, nuts, and bolts. Prior to World War I, it also turned out electric motors, lamp shades, and motorcycles. Motorcycle production spurred the company into making fasteners for the automobile and aircraft industry, which led to large military contracts during both world wars. In May 1974, National Screw was absorbed by Monogram Industries, Incorporated.
