NIFMSE BEST BOOTH AWARDS 2015<br />
Fastener News Desk had a<br />
great time attending the National<br />
Industrial Fastener & Mill Supply<br />
Expo in Las Vegas. We’d like to<br />
give special thanks to the staff<br />
and production team of #NIFMSE<br />
for their hard work, and for making<br />
the show a great success! We had<br />
the opportunity to meet a variety of<br />
people from our industry. There<br />
were 830 booths to visit, and<br />
people from all around the globe<br />
displaying their products, offering attendees a chance to<br />
learn more about their products and services. We were very<br />
impressed with the creativity of some of the booths, and we<br />
are super excited to be presenting our “Fastenating” 2015<br />
#NIFMSE Best Booth Awards!<br />

Best Booth Winner – Rotor Clip<br />
Best Booth Award #2<br />
Best International Booth Winner – Beneri S.p.A<br />
Our Best International Booth goes to Beneri S.p.A!<br />
The Beneri S.p.A booth had true Italian style. The booth was<br />
outstanding in design. They displayed their beautiful<br />
products in jewelry style cabinetry. The company<br />
representatives were very warm and welcoming, we even got<br />
a chance to enjoy their elegant meeting room style during a<br />
break. Beneri S.p.A boasts the undisputed international<br />
leadership for the production of DIN standard serrated lock<br />
washers and retaining rings.<br />
Best Booth Award #3<br />
Best New Technology Winner – Partpic<br />
We choose Rotor Clip for the Best Booth Award<br />
this year! Their booth was extremely well thought out and<br />
clever. Their supermarket themed booth was the hit of the<br />
show! The giveaways at the booth included t-shirts, key<br />
chains, mugs, ice scrapers, a chance to win a gift from<br />
Omaha Steaks and more. They incorporated the supermarket<br />
theme in their outfits, the graphics, the giveaways, and overall<br />
the marketing package was brilliant! Rotor Clip manufactures<br />
a full line of inch, DIN, ANSI metric and JIS retaining rings to<br />
world standards, as well as a complete line of constant<br />
section rings, spiral retaining rings, and wave springs.<br />

Our Best New Technology Award goes to Partpic!<br />
It was great meeting founders Jewel and Jason. They drew<br />
lots of interest throughout the show. By utilizing their<br />
technology users can snap a picture and receive the name<br />
of the part they are looking for in seconds. Founder Jewel is<br />
a former employee of McMaster Carr and recognized a need<br />
for a parts identification tool to help customers avoid<br />
purchasing incorrect fasteners or parts for a job.<br />
