Weld nuts are a common fixture in the automotive industry. In the past, assembling steel products on production lines involved the labor-intensive process of drilling and tapping holes. This method required the use of relatively thick materials.

Then, an innovative solution emerged: welding nuts and bolts into pre-drilled holes in the steel components, giving rise to the weld nut. This breakthrough allowed for the use of thinner metal parts in applications that previously necessitated thicker materials to accommodate drilling and tapping. Weld nuts also proved invaluable for connecting parts that could only be accessed from one side, eliminating the need for the challenging task of installing nuts or bolts from behind the material.
