Media Spotlight on Marketing Masters
“Tfasteners connecting pieces in each Boeing and Airbus jetliner — a component left unseen by passengers for the most part — originate at a small Issaquah manufacturer,” reports the Issaquah Press.
Marketing Masters creates inserts and fasteners from Torlon — a substance cheaper, lighter and more resistant to corrosion than the titanium used in earlier-generation aircraft fasteners.
“The fasteners hold together pieces in the behemoth Airbus A380 — the largest passenger jetliner in service — and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, a next-generation plane assembled mostly from composite materials,” writes Warren Kagarise of the Press.
Issaquah’s Chamber of Commerce recently spotlighted Marketing Masters as a business innovator.
Issaquah resident Jacques Gauron and brother Andre operate the global Marketing Masters business from a modest building in Central Issaquah, Kagarise writes.
“We were early in the game, so to get in there on ground level before a lot of those things were changed, our product was there waiting for the new designs,” Gauron said.
The company relies on 16 employees in Issaquah and a handful of sales representatives overseas to create and sell the fasteners. Marketing Masters’ signature product is called a Clip Nut.
