Trinity Hardware Doubles ‘Green’ Fastener Distribution Operation

Fastener distributor Trinity Hardware is expanding with 73,000 sq. ft. of new distribution warehouse space in Muscatine, IA. The facility’s address is 730 Clay Street, Muscatine, Iowa 52761-4620.

The Muscatine center can accommodate more than 7,000 bulk locations, which equals 13 million pounds of inventory. The center will also house an engineering lab with enhanced internal testing capabilities including new salt spray equipment for material verification, green structures and product review, harness testers and tensile testing.

“For those who buy fasteners, whether in small or bulk quantities, the goals remain constant: lowest price, best quality, lightning-fast shipping – and don’t forget responsive and helpful customer service,” the company stated. “The warehouse expansion helps buyers not only meet but exceed those goals.”

The expansion more than doubles Trinity’s inventory, allowing them to offer such specialty products as Grade 8 Carriage Bolts and Finished Hex Nuts.

“Trinity is making investments as part of our continued and focused growth,” said Trinity President Tim Dunn. “Our history of more than a century of fastener experience and vast inventory has significant value in the marketplace. What sets Trinity apart are our product niches in addition to our standard components.”

The company said it chose to go “green” for its expansion.

“While it was originally designed around product flow for maximum efficiency, significant improvements were made in the remodel to be environmentally conscious, with energy-efficient lighting, heating and insulation.”

“How we impact the environment is important to Trinity and we made a concerted effort to create a green facility,” said Tim Dunn. “We saw an opportunity to do the latest and greatest in energy efficiency which not only translates to lower costs, but it’s better for the environment.”

Trinity’s headquarters in Davenport, IA, includes more than 34,000 types of standard, metric and specialty hardware and fasteners available immediately. All are lot controlled and quality inspected. The hardware adheres to industry standards including but not limited to IFI, ANSI, ASME, DIN, & SAE. Trinity is ISO 9001:2008 registered and provides consensus standard parts for your applications.
