The performance demands of the outdoor recreational gear industry requires parts and components that combine lightweight, extreme durability, high strength, corrosion- and UV-resistance, and offer the highest levels of reliability.

Boker’s, Inc. delivers 100 years of application-solving experience for OEM challenges, including the industry-leading range of non-standard washer and spacer sizes, thickness, profiles and materials, plus custom, made-to-order washers, spacers, shims, stamped parts and components, manufactured for hundreds of products in the outdoor, adventure sports and recreational industries.

To commemorate Boker’s 100-year history we’re going to hold a few contests to give everyone a chance to win some Boker’s branded gifts. This first contest centers around our annual calendar that has become a mainstay for OEM design engineers and purchasing teams around the world. It’s a scheduling tool with decimal equivalents that we’ve been providing to the industry for over 5 decades. We’re always pleased to see them in use throughout manufacturing facilities around the world. For this contest, we’d like for you to send us an image of your oldest Boker’s Calendar. We will be providing a Boker’s branded gift to whoever provides us with the photo of the oldest Boker’s calendar.
