Location Lakewood, Ohio

Ferry Cap and Set Screw was founded in 1906 by Thomas Ferry and William C. North. The company was originally located on Scranton Road in Cleveland, Ohio, where it established its roots as a trusted manufacturer in the fastener industry during a period of major industrial growth in the United States. From its earliest years, Ferry Cap and Set Screw built its reputation on precision, reliability, and the ability to meet the demanding needs of industrial customers.

Over the decades, the company evolved alongside the changing needs of manufacturing, continuously strengthening its expertise in the production and processing of highly engineered fastening solutions. This long history reflects a commitment to quality craftsmanship, technical capability, and dependable service that has remained central to the business for more than a century.

In 2006, the plant was relocated to the Lakewood facility, marking an important milestone in the company’s history while maintaining its strong Northeast Ohio manufacturing heritage. As a Quantum Industrial Holdings company, Ferry Cap is focused on reestablishing its legacy through operational excellence, customer service, disciplined growth, and continued investment in its people and manufacturing capabilities.
