Interfast Opens in Calgary

Aerospace fastener distributor Interfast Inc. is establishing a distribution facility in Calgary in response to strong demand from the aviation, oil and gas industries. The announcement came during the Western Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Association 2009 annual symposium, where Interfast stressed the importance of using only properly certified fasteners.

“Our team of specialists has been working with Calgary area firms for years and we are delighted to open a regional distribution facility in response to increased business from airlines, manufacturers as well as aircraft maintenance repair and overhaul operations,” stated sales & marketing vice president Conrad Lennert.

The economy has put a spotlight on operational efficiencies, boosting interest in Interfast’s supply chain management expertise, Lennert noted. Interfast uses process mapping to analyze an organization’s information and material flow in order to identify improvements in their supply chain process.

In addition to Calgary, Interfast has seven other facilities in Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, as well as Miami and Cleveland.

Toronto-based Interfast distributes specialty fasteners, fastening systems and production installation tooling for the aerospace, automotive, electronics and general industry markets.
