Need for Fuel Efficiency Increases Boeing Production
Allfast Inc. is expanding its aerospace fastener manufacturing with a new 10-year Boeing Company contract, president Jim Randall announced. Allfast acquired an additional 65,000 sq ft manufacturing facility adjacent to its existing 150,000 sq ft in Southern California.
Allfast will supply rivets for Boeing’s commercial airplane programs.
Allfast received the 2011 Boeing Performance Excellence Award. Boeing issues the award annually to recognize suppliers who achieved superior quality and delivery performance.
Allfast also has invested millions of dollars annually on capital improvements over the past decade.
Randall told GlobalFastenerNews.com that airlines’ need for fuel efficient jets is increasing Boeing production. “More planes means more fastener demand,” Randall noted.
“We’re hiring,” Randall said. Last year Allfast employed 184 and that is up to 268, including 24 current trainees. Allfast plans to hire 60 more employees this year.
Allfast is training its own hires because of a shortage of skilled mechanics, Randall explained.
Founded in 1966 as a solid rivet manufacturer, today privately owned Allfast manufactures solid and blind rivets, blind bolts, temporary fasteners and installation tooling for the aerospace industry. Allfast is ISO 9001:2008 and AS 9100:2009 certified.
“Our continued commitment to 100% Customer Satisfaction has earned us numerous awards – the Boeing President’s Award, a strategic partnership with EADS-Airbus Industries, the Embraer Supplier of the Year Award, Lockheed’s Star Supplier, and the Bombardier VIP among many others,” Randall said. “Our implementation of min/max inventory programs has been instrumental in reducing inventory at several major OEM’s.”
Allfast has sales offices in Europe and North America and is headquartered at 15200 Don Julian Rd., City of Industry, CA 91745. Tel: 626 968-9388 Fax 626 968-9393 E-mail: sales@allfastinc.com Web: allfastinc.com
