About Us

Stake Fastener Co. is an operating division of Dupree, Inc., a veteran-owned California corporation founded in 1958 by James N. Dupree. The Company currently operates in a 60,000 square foot facility in Chino, CA, and is still owned and managed by the founder’s family with a succession plan in place.

Since its beginnings, Stake Fastener Co.’s focus has been on the design and manufacture of unique special application fasteners, with an emphasis on color-matched panel screws and screw assemblies. All products are proprietary in nature and are documented on individual engineering drawings. The designs are conceived, engineered, tooled, manufactured, assembled, stored, and shipped direct from our factory. We operate using a state-of-the-art Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that integrates information from all departments, enabling us to maintain control over all of our core processes. Our shop floor is highly automated with automatic machinery, including collaborative robots (COBOTS) deployed in key manufacturing areas.

Stake Fastener Co.’s quality management system is AS9100 registered, with product quality and customer satisfaction being core Company values. Our roots are in the aerospace industry, and we continue to support all major airframe manufacturers. Major customer approvals include Boeing, Airbus, Gulfstream, Bombardier, and Textron Aviation (Cessna / Beechcraft). Stake Fastener products also support other sectors of the transportation industry, such as buses, trucks, trains, special-purpose vehicles and agricultural equipment. Our products can also be found on modern electronic instruments, medical and telecommunications devices, and rack-mounted equipment. We have an excellent reputation in the industries we serve, and are considered a very reliable supplier.
