FIN SURVEY: Comments on the Fastener Industry

“Incredible activity in M&A.”

“We are headed toward an industry that has less and less competition.”

“Manufacturers still don’t understand the supply chain and how to go to market or using distribution effectively.”

“They haven’t replaced us … yet.”

“Looks like a slow start to 2016, but we should see an upswing by 3rd quarter.”

“Very competitive.”

“Starting to see slowdown in various industries at the end of 2015 and beginning of 2016 – Not sure what 2016 will be!”

“We serve U.S. manufacturing.  Hopefully, we will see continued growth in the manufacturing sector.”

“We need more networking opportunities, training specific to fastener sales, procurement, quality and engineering.”

“Nice to work with real people making real products. We aren’t Hollywood or real estate tycoons or other glamour industries. We are real.”

“No regrets on getting into a fastener career.”
