History
Groov-Pin Corporation was founded in 1926 by E.H. Schniewind, an inventor and developer of patents. The original facility was located in Long Island City, New York, where a patented press-fit fastener called the 'Groov-Pin' was developed. Some of Groov-Pin's original products, including the Type 1 Grooved Pin, are still being manufactured and put into application today. In the 1950s, Groov-Pin was one of the first to patent a self-tapping screw and subsequently developed the Tap-Lok line of threaded inserts. In the mid-'90s, Groov-Pin acquired the Speedserts line of self-threading inserts to complement the existing lines of threaded inserts.
