Komar Screw Corp. Celebrates Milestone Anniversary
Komar Screw Corp. will celebrate 55 years in business in 2024.
Marvin Kocian started in the fastener business in Chicago in 1961, working for legendary fastener distributor Carlton Screw. In 1969, Marv started out on his own and founded Komar Screw Corp.
Early in the 1970s, Marv purchased the assets and machinery of a cold header going out of business in the Southeast, and Komar began manufacturing parts. Today, Komar continues to manufacture cold headed screws and rivets up to 3/8” in diameter, in addition to having in-house screw machine capabilities.
Employee #1 Norman Young retired from Komar in June of 2014 after 45 years. In the early days, Marv and Norm were the purchasing, sales, and warehouse and delivery men for Komar. Today, Komar has four divisional distribution warehouses: Fort Smith, Arkansas; Nashville, Tennessee; Cleveland (Brecksville), Ohio; Springfield, Missouri. Komar continues to service OEM customers as a full-line fastener distributor and manufacturer.
Whether standard distribution, stock and release or Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) programs, Komar Screw Corp. remains a leader in the fastener industry.
Today, the company is led by (son) Stephen Kocian Komar as president, (daughter) Sarah Alzamora as vice president/H.R., Brian Drwal as VP of operations and Joe Clark as VP of sales and marketing.
Please join us in congratulating the entire Komar Screw Corp. team in celebrating this milestone 55th year in business.
