About Gateway

Over 50 Years. Three Generations. One Standard: Excellence.

Gateway Screw & Rivet was established in the Chicago area in 1954 as a responsive manufacturer of quality fasteners. Over 50 years and three generations later, Gateway continues to deliver personal attention and a product that makes us proud and that our customers can rely on.

Over the years, Gateway has evolved into a full-service manufacturer, distributor, and master importer of a full range of fasteners and components. This gives Gateway the versatility to give you, our customers, the service you need and the most competitive prices in the industry!

While we are large enough to meet all of your requirements, we are still small enough to give you the personal attention you need.
