Our business purchases a variety of titanium fasteners and rip ties from Olander for various usage in our assembly process. Olander actually has a much bigger variety of products but as these are the only two we have really purchased, that is what I can speak to. The quality of the products is really top notch as we essentially forget about them as soon as we use them. We know they are long lasting and reliable. Whenever we deal with people at Olander they have been friendly and professional and they have ensured that we get what we need. Great products and great team!

Strengths: wide selection, great service

Our business have contracted with Olander Co for numerous years now and we haven't had the slightest sliver to change our vendor. they have great prices and great quality to match up with it. Our employees fight over their hardware! We ordered a huge amount of rip-ties and we love them. They help us a lot on our assembly line. We would recommend them to any business in the market.

Great! Olander worked on a VMI process (Vendor Managed Inventory) for my previous employer. They are very helpful and understand business goals.

Strengths: Olander is another one-stop shop for just about everything that a manufacturer needs. They carry mechanical, electrical, commercial and all industrial tools, equipment and parts. Their ordering website is very easy to use. Most of the time, the products are in stock and can delivery next day. Olander's costs are slightly lower than McMasterr Carr.

Needs to improve: So far, I've not had any negative experience with Olander.

I like Olander because they carry a wide selection of hardware and they are local too. Some of the project that I am working on require an insert or standoff that I just order it from Olander and even stop by to pickup at the same day. Not like other vendor that I have to wait a day for more to get the hardware. Their customer services are nice and helpful.

Their fasteners are vastly superior to what is also available in the market. The materials they use are definitely advanced as they are lightweight, yet very durable.

There fasteners are very easy to use. Once you get into a groove with these you'll rattle right through your project. But be sure that whatever it is you're going to use these on, the area around the snaps are reinforced for strength. These snaps are so secure that a strong wind will rip right through the material & leave the snap still fastened tight.

Strengths: Wide variety of components

I had a great experience with Olander. I stopped by looking for a specific size fastener for a test fixture I was looking for, and they had it. Before them, I stopped by two other places with no luck. Olander will be my go-to place for any small fasteners. Their cost was very reasonable as well.

Strengths: They have a huge selection of almost any fastener you'd need.

Needs to improve: None.

Olander carries and has supplied me with many different stainless steel fasteners. In itself, this may not be special, but Olander almost always has the components in stock and can provide a material certification which is often worth more than the parts themselves!

Strengths: Carry a wide variety of fasteners in an array of certified materials in stock.

When you're looking for a unique size fastener that McMaster doesn't carry, Olander is a good source that may have it.

Strengths: Good component supplier for fasteners, dowel pins, washers, etc.

Needs to improve: Their website needs to be improved and is difficult to navigate. Most of the time I just call them and get an over the phone quote.
