Since the inception of the first National Industrial Fastener Show in 1981, our intent has always been to bring together the manufacturers and master distributors of industrial fasteners, precision formed parts, fastener machinery & tooling and other related products and services with distributors and sales agents in the distribution chain. In an effort to preserve and protect the distributor’s role in the marketplace, we discourage OEMs and other end users of these products from attending our expositions and conferences.
