ITW Shakeproof Selects 3Q as SEMS Distributor

ITW Shakeproof Industrial Products selected 3Q Inc. as its distributor for its SEMS washer product line.  
 

“The sole purpose of adding 3Q to our distributor network is to have 3Q focused on the quick delivery of small volume orders to the SEMS marketplace,” said Jim Tierney, Shakeproof Sales Manager.  

“Additionally, being in the Midwest (Naperville, IL) was an added advantage, as 3Q is physically close to deliver product to the customer base in a timely manner.”  
 

Mark Maddelein is the founder of 3Q, and has 20 year of industry experience, most notably as president of Fasco, and sales VP for Aztech Locknut. 
 

“We have enjoyed our distribution relationship with ITW Shakeproof over the past several years, so it was natural for us to expand our product offering to include Shakeproof’s SEMS washers,” said Maddelein.  

“We will have stock on the most popular ITW Shakeproof SEMS washers. Our business model is set up for quick delivery of smaller quantity orders so customers can buy the right quantity, right now.”
 

In March, 3Q will complete its initial stock of about 30 different ITW Shakeproof SEMS products, but anticipates expanding its inventory to meet the needs of the market/customer.
 

Headquartered in Naperville, IL, 3Q has multiple warehouses located in Naperville, Bensenville and Hanover Park, IL.  Email: sales@3qinc.com Web: 3q-inc.com  ©2011 GlobalFastenerNews.com
