The 2012 AmCon Design and Manufacturing Expos are now underway. AFT Fasteners will be exhibiting at this year's Houston, Texas AmCon Expo June 6-7 at the Reliant Energy Center. AmCon shows are well known for bringing “job shops” and contract manufacturers together with regional OEM buyers, designers and engineers for finding solutions to their most difficult design and production goals.

Reliant Energy Center, Hall E - Houston, Texas

AmCon has been producing quality manufacturing trade shows since 1987, and AFT Fasteners will be at Reliant Center June 6-7 to meet with some of Houston's top manufacturing engineers and product developers. AmCon trade shows and expos are the perfect opportunity for designers and engineers to locate sources for forming, fabrication, machining, engineering, prototyping, finishing, assembly and electronic manufacturing. AFT Fasteners and Industrial Solutions will be featuring industry name brand products such as Kipp Adjustable Handles & Components, Power Fasteners and Martin Steel Hand Tools, to name a few. AFT looks forward to discussing these and other great products and services at Booth 301, Hall E in the Reliant Center.

Trailer manufacturers and trailer parts providers of all types are preparing to exhibit at this year's 2012 NATM Convention. This year's Expo will be held at the popular Fort Worth Convention Center. This facility is well equipped to provide a pleasant and enthralling venue right in the heart of Fort Worth, Texas. Early registration will begin online and will start in person on Tuesday, February 7th at 7pm in the Fort Worth Convention Center.

AFT Fasteners supports this year's format of enhanced workshops that will continue through the week and provide excellent information on such topics as “Business Operations”, which will include “The Art of Execution” and “Canadian Transport”. Other workshops will include more technical topics such as “Structural Adhesive Solutions for Trailer Fabrication”, “Transportation Logistics”, “Galvanic Corrosion” and a great presentation by Ron Black, of The Mentor Group on “Business to Business Negotiating Skills: Creating Profitable, Long-term Business Solutions”.

Along with workshops there will, of course, be the main topic of this year's NATM Convention: vendors bringing their products to market and making contacts who share a common interest in building safe, efficient and profitable trailers.

Going from a local metal plating company to an international success in the fastener distribution market takes a passion for success. AFT Industries has been a quality provider of metal plating, fastener importing-distribution, and industrial services for more than a decade now. Providing customers with a cost effective and profitable partnership has been the driving force behind their success. It is with great pride that they are announcing a broad expansion of services for the future. 

Recent events include the acquisition of a large distribution center in the heart of Dallas and Fort Worth's shipping community. This modern facility provides a great hub for global sourcing, timely shipping-receiving, inventory warehousing and a great environment for dedicated employees and staff to do business. New facilities were then added to increase capacities in metal plating, wet paint, dry film lube and Xylan® coatings.  To further meet customers' needs, AFT has amplified a global internet presence and global marketing strategy, making communications and requests for fastener pricing and availability easier than ever.
