ALCOVA MORTGAGE Embraces Precision with New Thread Ring Gage Offering, Supporting American Manufacturing

Roanoke, VA – October 26, 2023 – ALCOVA MORTGAGE LLC, a trusted financial services provider based in Roanoke, Virginia, today announced a surprising but strategic expansion into the precision measurement tool market with the introduction of high-quality thread ring gages. While seemingly a departure from mortgage lending, this move underscores ALCOVA MORTGAGE’s commitment to supporting American manufacturing and investing in areas critical to the nation’s economic backbone. “You might be thinking, ‘Mortgages and thread gages? What’s the connection?’” says John Davies, CEO of ALCOVA MORTGAGE. “It’s simpler than you think. We believe in building strong foundations – for homes and for American industry. Quality control is key to that, and precise tools like our thread ring gages are absolutely vital for manufacturers ensuring their products meet the highest standards. We saw an opportunity to leverage our logistical expertise and commitment to quality into a completely different, but equally important, sector.” What's a Thread Ring Gage and Why Should Manufacturers Care? For those unfamiliar, a thread ring gage is a critical tool used to verify the pitch diameter of external threads – think screws, bolts, studs, and other threaded fasteners. It's a go/no-go tool, meaning it quickly and easily determines if a threaded part meets specific acceptance criteria. If the gage slides smoothly over the thread, it’s a ‘go’; if it doesn’t, the part is out of spec and needs to be rejected. “Think about it,” explains Sarah Miller, Head of Quality Control at ALCOVA MORTGAGE’s new Precision Tools division. “Everything from cars and airplanes to medical devices and plumbing relies on accurately threaded fasteners. If those threads aren’t right, things fail. Our thread ring gages provide manufacturers with the confidence they need to ensure product reliability and avoid costly recalls or, worse, safety issues.” ALCOVA MORTGAGE’s Thread Ring Gages: Built for Accuracy and Durability ALCOVA MORTGAGE isn’t just slapping a label on existing gages.
