“Due to the introduction of blind rivets in 2005 and hose clamps in 2007, and in keeping with our policy of ‘distribution only sales,’ we have decided to expand and search out alternative distribution channels for our new product lines,” president Mark Alperin said.
“Our hope is that these product offerings will be a catalyst for entry into other distribution markets,” new product manager Don Smith added.

Vertex is a master distributor of corrosion-resistant, standard inch and metric fasteners, blind rivets, hose clamps and class-C components. Vertex has branches in Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles and Tampa and is headquartered at 327 Pine St., Pawtucket, RI 02860.
