Chicago Rivet & Machine Co. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois in December 1927 as the successor to the business of Chicago Rivet & Specialty Co. The Company operates in the United States ("U.S.") through two reportable segments, defined by the nature of their products. The Fastener segment includes the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, H&L Tool Company Inc., along with the Company’s other fastener operations. This segment manufactures and sells rivets, cold‑formed fasteners and components, as well as screw‑machine products. The Assembly Equipment segment is primarily engaged in the manufacture of automatic rivet‑setting machines and related parts, components, and tools used in such machines.3 From its latest annual report

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks CHICAGO RIVET & MACHINE CO names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 24, 2026: 17 risks under these headings, as written.3

  • Due to significant recurring operating losses primarily driven by recent yearly declines in revenue, recurring negative cash flows from operations, and continued reduction in liquidity, we have determined that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
  • Our business over the last few years has been significantly affected by domestic and global economic and market conditions, including rising costs, supply chain disruptions and labor pressures.
  • Labor shortages could prevent us from meeting customer demand.
  • We are dependent on the automotive industry.
  • We face intense competition.
  • We rely on sales to major customers.
  • We are subject to risks related to export sales, including the imposition of tariffs.
  • Increases in our raw material costs or difficulties with our suppliers could negatively affect us.
  • We may be adversely affected by supply chain disruptions.
  • We may be adversely affected by labor relations issues.
  • We may incur losses as a result of product liability, warranty or other claims that may be brought against us.
  • We could be adversely impacted by environmental laws and regulations.
The other 5 risks
  • We could be adversely impacted by the loss of the services of key employees.
  • Any significant disruption, interruption or failure of our information systems could disrupt the operation of our business, result in increased costs and decreased revenues and expose us to liability.
  • The price of our common stock is subject to volatility, and our stock is thinly-traded.
  • Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial flexibility, financial condition and our competitive position.
  • We face risks in connection with our internal control over financial reporting, and material weaknesses were identified.

Legal proceedings

The Company is, from time to time involved in litigation, including environmental claims, in the normal course of business. While it is not possible at this time to establish the ultimate amount of liability with respect to contingent liabilities, including those related to legal proceedings, management is of the opinion that the aggregate amount of any such liabilities, for which provision has not been made, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position, liquidity, results of operations or cash flows.
