A manufacturer of automotive fasteners recently broke ground on an expansion in Columbus, Indiana, that will increase the company’s manufacturing operations, which include heat treat capabilities for improved strength and hardness, and allow it to produce a broader range of metal fasteners.

OSR Inc. is a joint venture between Nagoya, Japan-based Owari Precise Products Co. Ltd and Columbus-based Rightway Fasteners Inc. (RFI). Under the plan, OSR will construct and equip a new 82,395-square-foot manufacturing facility.
