Birmingham Fastener hired Baron Yarborough as GM of Champion Manufacturing, a rubber gasket manufacturer that Birmingham Fastener acquired in April.

Yarborough and his team will be working closely with Birmingham Fastener to supply American-made products to the waterworks industry.

Yarborough is involved in many industry organizations, including the Fastener Training Institute and the Southwestern Fastener Association.

“I am so pleased to be joining the Birmingham Fastener family and joining the ranks of so many industry rockstars,” stated Yarborough. “Champion has a proven track record of producing high quality gasket for many industries and we are all very excited for the opportunity to expand upon that legacy.”
