Request Information
Associated Fastening Products, Inc. offers customers a competitive advantage and increased productivity with a variety of vendor management inventory (VMI) programs for OEM's. Services are designed to fit customer needs, including a trained VMI account rep to personally handle each account from start to delivery. We provide easy to read bins to ease the pulling of needed parts, and extra stock of heavy usage parts is easily accommodated with the creation of additional bin locations. The average customer enjoys a 25% savings when switching from a bulk purchasing agreement to a VMI program. Cycle counts are avoided, labor and transportations costs are reduced, carrying costs are lowered with the reduction of on hand inventory, and company resources are more efficiently used. Convenient setting of minimum and maximum levels allows more control over stock. Plant visit frequencies range from multiple times per week to monthly trips.

Product lines include standard fasteners, metric fasteners, cable ties, brass fittings, grommets, O-rings, class "c" items, custom fasteners, rivets, eyebolts, u bolts, cable, and thousands of other available items. For more details about our available Vendor Management Inventory programs or the other high quality services and products available please see the table below or contact us directly.
