New Web Section on NationalRivet.com Shows How Used and Retooled Riveters Save Money

WAUPUN, Wis., October 15, 2008 -- National Rivet & Manufacturing Co. has made it easier for manufacturers to access information on selling old riveters, refurbishing existing machines and purchasing retooled riveters by adding a “Used and Retooled” section to its Web site, NationalRivet.com. The site shows manufacturers how to get more value and additional service out of existing machines versus spending capital on new equipment.

“It’s important for manufacturers to realize the potential savings in a refurbished riveter over the cost of new equipment,” says Francis D. Cyr, president, National Rivet. “This addition to our website arms manufacturers with a new resource and connects them to technical experts who can weigh the benefits of both new and refurbished riveters in their application.”

The “Used and Retooled” section of NationalRivet.com provides a centralized location for manufacturers to inquire about selling used equipment, acquire information on purchasing a refurbished riveter or to have its existing riveter reconditioned to like-new performance.

National Rivet is a leader in the supply and commissioning of retooled riveters for industrial fastening applications. For refurbishment, National Rivet disassembles the machine, thoroughly inspects each component, replaces all worn parts (bushings, pins, clutches, etc.) and tests each machine to meet the highest standards of performance. National Rivet even offers a “like-new warranty” on retooled riveters.

“The retooling of a riveter can add decades of new performance and save a company thousands of dollars?sometimes up to 50-percent compared to the cost of a new unit,” says Cyr.
