It’s been a great summer and time for the Mid-West Fastener Association to hit the road again for one last time this year. On September 27th, we’ll be hosting another stop for the Bruce and Bruce Tour. The subject of this meeting will be Material Market Update presented by Bruce Darling of Porteous Fastener and Bruce Wheeler of Star Stainless Screw.

During their many years in the fastener industry, our speakers have taken over fifty trips abroad, making in excess of 1200 visits to over 400 different factories and trading companies. Bruce Darling joined Porteous Fastener Co. in 1988 as vice president of materials. Mr. Darling was instrumental in encouraging overseas factories to accept the challenge of the Fastener Quality Act and to achieve ISO accreditations for their operations and testing labs. Bruce Wheeler, President of Star Stainless, has over 30 years in the fastener industry.

These men will share the wealth of information they have acquired through their travels. Don’t miss this opportunity to, not only learn from industry leaders, but also the chance to participate in an enlightening Question and Answer session. Also keep in mind, MWFA meetings provide an extensive networking opportunity.
