Machine Screws Manufacturer, Wholesaler, Supplier & Exporter to Egypt
Machine screws are precision-threaded fasteners used wherever a tapped hole or nut secures light-to-medium duty assemblies. We manufacture and export machine screws in multiple head styles, drive types, and materials for electronics, appliance, and machinery buyers. Egypt's construction and infrastructure development draws on imported structural and foundation fasteners at scale. We ship into Port Said and the Port of Alexandria, both positioned close to the Suez Canal corridor.

Population, capital, currency, and languages from Wikidata (checked 2026-09-23); time zones from the IANA tz database. Duty and tax rates change and transit depends on carrier, routing, and port congestion, so figures marked indicative are confirmed against your product and destination port when we quote. Your customs broker should verify final landed cost.
Machine screws sit in an odd middle ground buyers sometimes overlook: too small to be treated with the same rigor as a structural bolt, but precise enough that a mismatched drive type or head style can hold up an entire assembly line. Electronics and appliance manufacturers in particular tend to standardize on one or two head/drive combinations across a whole product line specifically to avoid stocking dozens of near-identical small parts.
About Machine Screws
Machine screws in pan, cheese, countersunk, and round head styles to DIN 84, DIN 85, and ISO 1207/1580 — manufactured in steel, stainless steel, and brass for export.

- • Egypt's Suez Canal location makes it a practical distribution point for onward shipment into the wider Mediterranean and Red Sea region.
Minimum Order — Container Quantity (Approx.)
Machine screws are small and light, so a standard 20ft container (~20 tons) typically holds several million to over ten million pieces in common sizes — exact quantity depends heavily on length and diameter and is confirmed at quote time.
You don't need a full container to order. 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.
Where Egypt Buyers Use Machine Screws
Electronics enclosure assembly
Small pan or countersunk screws securing PCB mounts, covers, and housings.
Appliance and panel assembly
Zinc-plated or stainless screws for consumer and industrial appliance housings.
Switchgear and electrical panels
Corrosion-resistant screws for panel and terminal cover fastening.
Common Mistakes Buyers Make
Assuming all Phillips drivers fit the same
Phillips screws come in different sizes (PH0–PH3); an undersized driver will cam out and strip the head under torque.
Specifying the wrong head style for the counterbore
A pan head won't sit flush in a countersunk hole, and a flat head will over-recess in a straight-sided bore.
Using standard steel screws in humid environments
Unplated or under-plated screws corrode quickly in high-humidity electronics enclosures — stainless or passivated finishes cost more but avoid field failures.
Key Terms
- Cam-out
- When a screwdriver slips out of the drive recess under torque — common with Phillips heads at high driving speed.
- Self-locking thread
- A thread-forming feature (or added nylon patch) that resists loosening without a separate lock washer.
- Undercut head
- A head design with a slight recess under the bearing surface to reduce burring on thin sheet materials.

HS Code & Customs Classification
Most fasteners fall under HS Chapter 73 (articles of iron or steel) or Chapter 74/76 for brass and aluminum items — the exact 8-10 digit subheading depends on the specific product and material. We include the HS code on the commercial invoice; confirm the applicable import duty with your customs broker, since rates vary by country and trade agreement.
