OEM customers are automating manufacturing operations and parts suppliers must respond with seamless order and inventory systems, quality documentation and chain of custody tracking.

As keynote speaker at the 2020 Fastener Fair USA, Yannick Schilly, CEO of Altix, will advise fastener distributors on “Industry 4.0” – or electronically linked manufacturing from order entry through fulfillment.

Fastener Fair was postponed from May to July 13-15, 2020, in Charlotte.

Ohio-based Altix advises mid-market managers on strategy, technology and innovation for the manufacturing and international supply chain.

Schilly has developed global expansion strategies in Germany, China and the U.S. for a German-based company which provides advanced manufacturing operations.

A French native, Schilly built a business network spanning three continents.  He speaks four languages.  Schilly chairs the European / American Chamber of Commerce in Cincinnati.
