Fastener Focus: Midwest Fastener secures growth
Midwest Fastener has been serving retailers and builders since 1967. The Kalamazoo, Michigan-based company has grown well-beyond the geography suggested by its name to a network that includes six distribution centers serving coast-to-coast markets.
The company is not finished growing, according to Nick Thies, construction fastener category marketing manager, who spoke to HBSDealer recently.
That growth will be driven by market knowledge and product innovation. Case in point: the BuildRight Contractor Pack.
“It's a contractor screw that it comes with a star drive and a self-drilling tip,” Thies explained. “The way we like to talk about is: ‘It has everything a deck builder needs, and nothing the builder doesn't need.’ It's a very good screw, just not the best screw we have. The idea was We wanted to be able to fill that segment at that opening price point.”
