“We’ve invested heavily in our OEM/Fastening Solutions business unit over the last five years and established a foundation we can build on,” stated Douglas Ruggles, co-owner of Martin Inc. and president of Martin Fastening. “The next step in our evolution has been to look for the right distributor to join our current business and help us expand our OEM fastener footprint and customer base.”

Founded in 1934, Martin Inc. provides MRO and production supplies to industrial and construction markets. In 1997, Martin added the Fastening Solutions line of business to its operations with headquarters in Jackson, TN.
