The Chasama standard

Small enough to care, large enough to deliver.

Behind every delivery is a simple discipline: stock what customers need, price it fairly, and stand behind it after the sale. That discipline hasn't changed since the first crate of bicycle parts left our Kahama store in 2001 — only the shelves, the reach, and the trust we've earned along the way have grown. Today, that same care extends from our showroom counter to job sites and workshops across Shinyanga and Mwanza, wherever the right bolt, bearing, or tool needs to show up on time.

  • What we do

    Distribution of nuts, bolts, bearings & fastening hardware.

  • Where we are

    Kahama, Shinyanga — serving the wider region, with a branch in Mwanza.

  • Since

    Trading since 2001 — bolts & nuts since 2015.

Company timeline

  1. 2001

    Founded

    Chasama Bolt and Nut is established, initially dealing in the sale of bicycle spare parts.

  2. 2009

    Motorcycles added

    The business expands into motorcycle spare parts, and later into selling motorcycles themselves.

  3. 2015

    Shift to fasteners

    A change in business focus — the company begins selling bolts and nuts in Kahama town, Shinyanga region, and later expands into all types of oils and lubricants.

  4. 2024

    Mwanza branch

    A new branch opens in Mwanza city, on Pamba Road, in the Tanganyika Base building.

Twenty years in, our promise hasn't changed — only the size of our shelves.

Our journey continues

What began as a modest bicycle-parts stall in 2001 has grown, through steady reinvestment and an unwavering commitment to service, into a name customers across Shinyanga and Mwanza trust for genuine stock and fair dealing. As Chasama Bolt and Nut enters its third decade, that same discipline now shapes where it's headed: wider reach, deeper stock, and service our customers can set their watch by.
