Dowel Pins & Cotter Pins Wholesaler
We wholesale dowel pins & cotter pins in bulk to distributors, retailers, and hardware stockists, with volume pricing and container-load (FCL/LCL) shipping options.
As a wholesaler, we hold ready stock across common sizes and grades and supply distributors, retailers, and hardware stockists at volume pricing — the buyer relationship here is about consistent supply and competitive per-unit cost at container-load quantities.
Wholesale buyers typically care more about consistent lead time and pricing stability across repeat orders than about a single one-off transaction, which is why we hold ready stock specifically for the sizes and grades that move fastest, rather than manufacturing every order from scratch.
Dowel pins and cotter pins solve opposite problems and get confused surprisingly often by buyers new to precision hardware: a dowel pin's entire job is to NOT move, locating two parts to each other with an interference fit ground to tight tolerance, while a cotter pin's entire job is to be removable, securing a castellated nut or clevis joint against loosening without needing tools beyond a pair of pliers.

Half container (20ft)

Full container (20ft)
2-3 million pcs
A standard 20ft container (~20 tons) typically holds 2-3 million pieces of dowel or cotter pins in common sizes. Exact quantity depends on diameter and length and is confirmed at quote time.
The minimum order is 10,000 pcs, so you don't need a full container to order: half-container and smaller LCL orders are available as well. Hurain Engitech & Trade — the group Global Fasteners Exports operates under — regularly ships smaller, partial-container (LCL) orders of just a few pallets or boxes for buyers who don't yet need FCL volume, consolidated with other cargo to keep freight cost reasonable.
