Latest:

The readership of the American Fastener Journal and the American Fastener Source Guide include owners, presidents, middle- and upper-management and purchasing decision makers in the fastener industry.

 

We put a strong emphasis on technical articles about fasteners, fastening applications, purchasing, and sales and marketing. But while educational and informative articles have been the backbone of our publications for more than 30 years, we also highlight the personal side of the fastener business.

 

Our circulation list originates from numerous sources, including (but not limited to) fastener and distributor associations, the annual National Industrial Fastener & Mill Supply Expo in Las Vegas, fastener association trade shows and tabletop events, social media networking, industrial fastener lists, industrial directories, independent and/or fastener manufacturers’ rep lists, and fastener suppliers detailed in the American Fastener Source Guide. (See detailed lists below.)
