Direct supply from Baoji Titanium Valley. Fully certified DIN, ISO, and bespoke metric specifications ready for export to the Rhine-Alpine industrial corridor.
Established in 2013 and operating out of the Honeycomb Industrial Park in Baoji, Shaanxi, Yevzo Titanium Metal Co., Ltd. delivers vertically integrated OEM/ODM fastener solutions. By maintaining primary access to mill-certified ASTM B348 raw bar stock, our facility eliminates intermediary margin chains and guarantees complete physical-chemical heat lot traceability. Basel-based purchasing managers in the Canton of Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft benefit from mill-direct pricing, custom metallurgical formulations, and exact DIN 1587 / DIN 986 cap nut dimensions machined on state-of-the-art multi-axis Swiss-lathe platforms.
Every cap nut and bespoke blind fastener undergoes rigorous optical sorting, Go/No-Go thread gauge qualification, and ultrasonic bath degreasing to meet cleanroom and high-vacuum deployment criteria.
Analyzing the functional necessity of titanium acorn and cap nuts across Switzerland’s premier chemical, biomedical, and mechanical sectors.
Basel is home to global giants like Novartis and Roche. In bioreactors, active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) processing vessels, and cleanroom wall-mounting fixtures, standard stainless steel fasteners risk chloride-induced pitting and crevice corrosion. Grade 2 Commercially Pure and Grade 5 titanium cap nuts create an impermeable titanium dioxide (TiO2) passive oxide layer, resisting aggressive CIP (Clean-in-Place) cleaning chemicals, autoclaving cycles, and acidic sanitizers without contaminating active substances.
Across the chemical processing plants situated along the Rhine river corridor, exposed external threads are vulnerable to ambient acid fumes, industrial vapors, and chemical splashes. Yevzo's titanium domed cap nuts fully seal protruding threads, stopping aggressive oxidation and thread seizure. The high chemical inertness prevents galvanic corrosion when assembled against titanium flanges, passivated 316L, or fluoropolymer-lined reaction vessels.
Basel’s specialized medical engineering, diagnostic laboratory instrumentation, and automated pipette sorting assemblies demand ultra-lightweight hardware with minimal magnetic permeability. With non-magnetic characteristics (μr ≈ 1.00005) and a weight reduction of approximately 44% compared to steel, our CNC-machined titanium cap nuts eliminate rotational inertia in high-speed pick-and-place robotic gantries while ensuring zero interference with MRI and sensitive spectroscopic sensors.

How automation, ESG directives, and precision customization are redefining hardware supply chains.
The convergence of 3D metal printing and precision CNC machining in Swiss workshops necessitates fasteners that share matching thermal expansion coefficients. Titanium cap nuts matched to Ti-6Al-4V printed brackets prevent thermal fatigue and micro-gapping under thermal fluctuations between -50°C and +350°C.
Swiss health and labor inspectors enforce stringent occupational health safeguards. Exposed, sharp-edged bolt ends inside manufacturing units present contamination catch-points and worker injury risks. Smooth, hemispherical acorn cap nuts ensure streamlined laminar flow in clean hoods while enabling wipe-down cleaning without snagging lint or sterilizing cloths.
With high overhead costs within Switzerland, leading OEMs increasingly replace multi-tiered local distribution distributors with direct relationships with certified Baoji manufacturing entities. Yevzo’s flexible MOQ tiers (10–30 pcs for testing, scalable to 100,000+ units) paired with DDP Basel customs-cleared logistics deliver immediate 25%–40% bottom-line savings while ensuring uncompromised precision.
Combining the metallurgical capital of China's Titanium Valley with Swiss-level tolerance expectations.
Every batch begins with ultrasonic non-destructive testing of raw bar stock. We provide 3.1 Mill Test Certificates detailing chemical composition (interstitial elements like Fe, O, C, N, H kept well beneath ASTM limits) and mechanical tensile proofs with every delivery.
Our multi-spindle CNC turning centers maintain tolerance precision up to ±0.01 mm. Internal cap nut threads are formed with strict concentricity relative to the outer hexagon, guaranteeing uniform clamping force and zero cross-threading even under frequent re-assembly cycles.
We eliminate customs overhead for Swiss procurers through comprehensive DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping to Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft via express air freight (FedEx/DHL) or dedicated cargo lines. Quotations and transactions are supported directly in CHF, EUR, or USD.
Specific engineering and commercial inquiries addressed by our technical export group.
Titanium threads have a tendency to gall when tightened dry under high loads due to microscopic surface friction. For cleanroom and food-contact environments in Basel, we supply proprietary anti-galling PVD coatings, molybdenum disulfide dry lubricants, or electropolished finishes. When using raw parts, applying a pharmaceutical-grade, titanium-compatible anti-seize paste ensures seamless torque-tension translation.
Yes. We manufacture both high-crown (DIN 1587) and low-crown (DIN 986) cap nuts in sizes ranging from M3 to M24. Custom modifications such as extended cap heights, internal blind hole depth variations, integrated serrated flange bases, or custom wrench sizes are readily turned directly from CAD/STEP drawings.
Stocked dimensions (standard DIN 6923 and standard ISO hex nuts) can ship within 48 to 72 hours. Custom CNC-machined titanium cap nut batches typically require 12 to 20 working days. We routinely execute shipments under DDP, DAP, or CIF Basel via Zurich or EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg, handling Swiss customs documentation seamlessly.
For chemical and pharmaceutical containers where direct contact with aggressive cleaning media or organic solvents is the critical factor, Grade 2 Commercially Pure (CP) titanium is often preferred due to its superior corrosion resistance and high elongation properties. For high-vibration equipment, centrifuge rotors, or mechanical drives, Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) provides the necessary 895 MPa tensile yield strength.
Yes. Utilizing state-of-the-art electrochemical anodization, we create vivid oxide layer interference colors (Gold, Electric Blue, Violet, Acid Green, Burnt Rainbow, and Hard PVD Black). Because anodization modifies the native titanium oxide crystal structure rather than adding an organic paint layer, it introduces no dimensional tolerance variance or thread jamming.
To support pilot testing in Swiss R&D institutes and precision manufacturing workshops, our prototyping MOQ starts as low as 10 to 30 pieces for custom drawing parts. Full volume production scaling can expand to tens of thousands with price tiers calibrated to long-term blanket purchase orders.
