NFDA Adds Sourcing Network for Members Through FCH

The National Fastener Distributors Association announced it is adding a member benefit of access to the
FastenersClearingHouse.com sourcing website.

Effective by autumn, NFDA members will be able to access the FCH Sourcing Network and SourceFinder RFQ system through a filter level. NFDA members mau search the FCH fastener database and filter search results to locate other NFDA members’ inventory.

The FCH database lists over half a million inventory line items.

“Our goal has been to find ways to build ROI for our members, and FCH has developed a custom program for us that meets this objective perfectly,” NFDA executive vice president, John Hausoul said.

There is no requirement for NFDA members to list inventory with FCH.

FCH will also provide support to the NFDA through its industry podcast, Fully Threaded Radio, billed as Internet radio for the fastener industry.

“We call Fully Threaded Radio ‘the voice of the FCH Sourcing Network’, but it’s already obvious that our growing audience is made up of listeners from across the industry and from around the world,” FCH managing partner and co-host Brian Musker said.

Founded in 1968, the NFDA is based in Chicago. Contact: John Hausoul, executive vice president. Tel: 312 527-6671 Web: nfda-fastener.org

Founded in 2006, FCH is an independent sourcing network providing an online search engine and marketplace for standard, hard to find, odd lot, and special fastener inventory.
