“By acquiring Atlanta Rod, we are doubling down on domestic fastener manufacturing in the southeast during the COVID-19 pandemic,” stated Birmingham Fastener president Brad Tinney.  “While there are many questions around the international supply chain, domestic manufacturers can meet demand and provide outstanding quality.”

In the past two years, Birmingham Fastener has expanded its footprint by opening locations in New York, Iowa, and Houston.
