Dennis Shanahan of Mutual Screw was elected president of the Metropolitan Fastener Distributor Association. Shanahan succeeds Chuck Halpin of Brighton-Best.
MFDA”s 11th annual Table Top show drew seven new companies and 55 returning exhibitors. MFDA administrator Nancy Montesano reported a record number of pre-registered attendees.
Because of “the growing number of industry shows and its genuine concern and consideration for its members” increasing obligations and time constrains,” the MFDA board is considering making its annual table top an every-other-year event.
The association has donated more than $31,000 in scholarships to students and industry employees this year.
