Manasquan Premium Fasteners LLC is marking its 25th anniversary. Founded in 1987 by Bob Dey and Linda Dey as a “business in a box” operating from the basement of their New Jersey home, Manasquan today is a supplier of stainless steel fasteners to the residential, commercial and marine construction industries.
Customers include local builders and do-it-yourselfers to international builders in North America, the Middle East, Latin America and Asia.
“We’ve grown from a mail-order, catalog company working from our dining room table with stock in the basement to one of the most-recognized firms of our kind,” Linda Dey observed.
The idea for the company began with the Deys trying to replace the deteriorating composite lap siding on their home in Wall, NJ with redwood bevel siding. Stainless steel fasteners were recommended to avoid the black streaking around the nail heads. The Deys couldn’t find stainless steel nails in the entire region, even at the largest hardware stores and lumberyards. “Hardware stores and building supply centers even denied the existence of stainless steel nails,” Bob Dey recalled.
During the early years, the Deys ran the fledgling company from a “warehouse” in their basement. Linda and their youngest daughter, Jessica, picked and packaged orders, while maintaining all the company’s records by hand. Manasquan began its next stage when Bob retired from the chemical industry to promote the business.
Today Manasquan remains a family-run business, with Linda as principal company owner responsible for finance, inventory and website development and maintenance; Bob is the “technical information” person and does the marketing; and daughter Nicole Dey is office manager.
The Deys are positioning the company to attract a larger, worldwide contractor base.
