Whether building new agricultural machinery or repairing equipment already at work, getting the right fastener matters. GWR Fasteners supports both needs with standard products and parts manufactured or modified to specification. For an unnamed robotic crop-picking project, the company supplied standard fasteners alongside stainless steel captive screws made in house.

Captive screws are designed to remain with an assembly when loosened. For machinery builders and repairers, that can reduce the risk of losing a screw when a panel or component is opened for access or maintenance. A UK specialist in captive fasteners, GWR can manufacture them from bar or modify existing screws, with capability from M1.6 to M16 and a wide range of materials to suit customer specifications.

GWR also supplies standard fasteners, bar materials, tooling and consumables. Agricultural machinery manufacturers and repair firms can approach the Oswestry company for both specified components and everyday supplies needed to build, service and repair equipment.

Interest in agricultural automation continues to grow. In August 2026, the UK government announced a £20 million competition to support the development of farm robots and automated systems, including technology to harvest crops. GWR sees an opportunity to support the businesses making and maintaining this equipment.

GWR attended LAMMA in January 2026 to learn more about agricultural machinery. Farming is close to home for owners Gary and Jude Robinson, who live in a rural area surrounded by agriculture. They are proud to back British farming by supporting the businesses that equip it.

Agricultural machinery manufacturers and repair firms can send GWR a drawing, specification or fastener enquiry to discuss standard supply, modification or in-house manufacture. GWR can deliver orders across the UK and worldwide.
