NCFA’S 11TH ANNUAL DISTRIBUTOR SOCIAL<br />
MAY HAVE BEEN THE BEST ONE YET! by Marty Nolan, Vice-President<br />
The North Coast Fastener Associations <strong>2019</strong><br />
Distributor Social was quite possibly the biggest and<br />
best one yet. This industry event continues to grow and<br />
attract more and more national attention. Wodin, Inc. and<br />
Brighton Best certainly helped to make this day bigger<br />
and better, as both companies opened their doors to<br />
NCFA members and Distributor Social visitors. Wodin,<br />
Inc. led visitors on a tour of the hot forge manufac-turing<br />
facility and feedback from this event was fantastic. Next,<br />
Brighton-Best held a mid-day cookout and gave tours of<br />
their new 250,000 sq. ft. facility,<br />
a real jewel in the Cleveland area<br />
fastener marketplace. The NCFA<br />
cannot thank these two member<br />
companies enough for opening<br />
their doors and making this years’<br />
Distributor Social schedule one of<br />
our best ever.<br />
Additionally, we want to thank<br />
the many friends who joined us<br />
from the Mid-West Fas-tener<br />
Association. Numerous companies<br />
from the Chicago area made the<br />
trip to Cleveland for the event<br />
and we plan to return the favor<br />
