Huttig Announces Made in the USA Fastener Selection
May 09 2017 - 11:00AM
Huttig Building Products, Inc. (Huttig), (NASDAQ:HBP), a leading
domestic distributor of millwork, building materials and wood
products, is pleased to announce an agreement with American
Fasteners Co. (AFC), expanding the fastener offering at Huttig.
AFC will produce collated fasteners in the Southwest United
States, offered under the Huttig-Grip brand, including
plastic-strip round-head framing nails as well as paper-tape
metal-connector nails. This domestic production will complement
Huttig’s complete fastener offering, one of the most comprehensive
in the country.
“AFC is exactly the type of strategic partner we’re looking
for,” said Bob Furio, Executive Vice President of the Huttig-Grip
division of Huttig Building Products. “What they bring to this
relationship aligns perfectly with what our customer network is
demanding and allows us to respond to rapid market shifts allowing
our customers to better manage their inventory.”
“The opportunity to ally ourselves with a company such as Huttig
is very exciting,” said Alan Brown, President of American
Fasteners. “Huttig’s tradition dates back to 1885 and we share
their passion for high quality products and a ‘love for building.’
The Made in the USA program will make lead times and pricing more
predictable, while supporting manufacturing jobs here at home.”
The AFC partnership is the result of Huttig’s effort to secure
more brands and broaden national offerings to enhance Huttig’s role
as the preferred distributor for millwork, building materials and
fasteners.
