Jiffy Rivets

[TheTrooper]

Hello Guys,

does anyone of you know the name of the company wich makes the "Jiffy Rivets" ?? I know that the company is from Belgium, but I couldn´t find the name in the internet. The reason why I´m asking is, that I ordered them from OTB and was quiet shocked how expensive the stuff was including shipping. I payed 65$ shipping to germany for a package of about 1.5 kg. From my point of view this is quiet much, because I had the same shipping fee at Tandy´s for a package wich was 5 times heavier.

This is why I´m searching the name of this company, because why I should re-import the rivets to europe when they are produced here ?!? This seems a bit illogical to me.

Hope someone can help me out :-)

Regards,

Marcel

I done a Kelllysearce/uk and came up with nothing. All my boxes have OTB on the outside and the say made in Belgum.

Good luck.

Yes, I´m sure. As Randy Cornelius said, on the boxes there is written that they are from belgium. I also heard that some good rivets come from there, but I wasn´t able to find any of the manufacturers.

Thx also to the others for their help.

OTB = means ?

I've heard the same about Belgium-made rivets. My boxes also state "made in Belgium".

As far as I know, OTB means Ohio Travel Bag.

At the moment I´m at work and could not scan the rivet box. But I have the bill from Ohio Tavel Bag (OTB) here. Nicely they write also the Origin Country of the product onto the Bill and there written "BE", so the country code for Belgium.

I wasn´t also not able to find something in the Internet. I tried also goggle.be, but just with the english words. So it can be that google couldn´t find anything, when the websites are not in english :-(

Maybe you have some better luck. I was a little bit worried, because "Jiffy Rivet" is a trademark, so this should be also found via the internet.

But maybe the manufacturer has no website ?!?

I called Ohio Travel Bags to pump to get information about the company. They wouldn't give it. There is a guy on Ebay who sells these rivets. Not sure if he gets them in the U.S. or directly from Belgium, but I'll ask him.
