MWFA HOLDS LARGEST TABLE TOP
SHOW IN THE INDUSTRY
On June 23rd the MWFA hosted their
annual Fastener Show as a Table Top Show
at Belvedere Banquets in Elk Grove Village.
The move there was to allow for increased
exhibitors with a once again, sold out
show. 125 Exhibitors, from across North
America, featured their products and
services to over 300 attendees. Prior to
the show MWFA hosted a Sales Seminar
taught by Rick Farrell of Tangent
Knowledge Systems. Rick focused on
techniques to increase business during
turbulent times and controlling your
destiny by qualifying the customer.

This event always proves to be a most
beneficial show for the industry, as it is
held in the heart of the fastener industry
and features just about any product
sought.
The show is traditionally followed by the
Fastener Bash allowing exhibitors and
attendees a casual atmosphere to enjoy
beverages, appetizers and networking.
The MWFA is grateful to their Bash
sponsors: XL Screw Corp., Metric &
Multistandard Components, KDS
Imports, Kanebridge Corp., Star
Stainless Screw, Continental-Aero,
Brighton-Best Int’l, Integrated
Packaging, Richard Manno, Nylok and
Morgan Ohare and Elgin Fastener
Group for providing this opportunity.
It was great to receive many positive
comments. Jamie Flesch of Dispol
American, commented on his positive
experience saying “With this past
June 23rd Mid-West Fastener table top
show, being the first that our company
attended, I wanted to let you know it was
impressive on how well the show was
organized and professionally operated.
Everything from signing in and setting up
for the show, through lunch and the show
itself were well announced and everything
flowed together smoothly.”

First, I’d like to thank
everyone who exhibited
or attended the MWFA
Tabletop Show and all the players and
volunteers at the MWFA Golf Outing!!! This

Moving forward, we have two
outstanding educational programs coming
up in both September and October.
September, we will have our Fastener 201
Seminar (Intermediate), followed in
October by Fastener 401 Seminar (Plating &
Heat Treating). In September Brighton Best

HOW MANY GOLFERS CAN MWFA FIT ON ONE COURSE?
Every year the MWFA books a golf venue
for their annual Golf Outing. Every year
the venue states 144 golfers will be a
maximum. Luckily, every year, the MWFA
has 144 golfers who want to participate.
Sometimes a few more golfers get added
into the mix, as in this year with 158
golfers! Eaglewood Resort, in Itasca,
hosted the event and did a great job of
accommodating everyone. A new feature
at this year’s outing was a Bazooka,
sponsored by SWD Inc. Golfers loved the
opportunity to “shoot” their drive with the
potential of a 400 yard drive.
Nearly every hole had a contest, giving
golfers the potential to win up to $100 per
contest. The many companies who
graciously sponsored these contests
allowed for the many prizes. Sems and
Specials offered a $150 Gift Card to the
Ugliest Golf Outfit but with the vanity of
our golfers, no one was brave enough to
wear their ugly golf attire. The $150 was,
instead, donated to the MWFA Scholarship
Fund along with the winnings of Alina
Agresto and Rosie Thornton-thank you!

30 UNDER 30
The Fastener Industry Coalition (FIC) in
cooperation with the newly formed
fastener industry association, Young
Fastener Professionals (YFP), is sponsoring
an initiative to identify 30 of the “up and
comers” in the fastener industry. Termed
“30 Under 30”, this recognition program is
open to any fastener industry professional
30 years or younger. Nominations for this
program must be received by September
15 and the “30 Under 30” will be
announced and recognized at the National
Industrial Fastener Show in Las Vegas.
Nominees are allowed to submit their
own applications but other members of the
fastener industry can nominate them as
well. Application forms are available on
both organizations’ websites:
www.youngfastenerprofessionals.com
www.fastenercoalition.org
The Young Fastener Professionals
association is a newly formed group
creating a platform for young professionals
to share their knowledge and perspective
with the fastener industry. Directed by the
next generation and comprised of
companies within the fastener industry,
YFP is focused on driving business forward
while seamlessly adapting to our
constantly changing business environment.
While respectfully embracing and
preserving the industry’s past, this next
generation is re-shaping our business
spectrum through technology and the
implementation of the most current
business practices. YFP invites and
encourages young professionals to join
and become part of this process.
Additional information and membership
applications can be found on their website.
The Fastener Industry Coalition is an
organization made up of regional and
national fastener associations concerned
with the distribution, manufacture and
importation of fasteners as well as services
to the fastener industry. Since it’s
inception, the FIC has evolved into an
important organization within the fastener
industry. With all of the regional fastener
associations, three national associations
and a training institute as members, the
FIC is the only organization in the fastener
industry where specific industry topics can
be addressed and acted upon by an
existing collective industry network.
Political advocacy is still a high priority for
the FIC.

With a 1:00 Shot Gun being a challenge
to finish by 6:30 Cocktail hour, next year

the Golf Outing is scheduled for the last
full week of June.
Thank you to this year’s Golf Outing
Committee for all their time and efforts to
produce an outstanding Golf Outing:

CONFLICT MINERALS
Conflict minerals has been a highly
discussed subject in the fastener industry
this year. Information beyond what has
been presented at various industry
meetings may be found on government
websites. One such site is:
http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/
guidance/conflictminerals-faq.htm#q1
An example of some of the
questions and answers you will
find there are:
Question:
If an issuer determines that the products
it manufactures or contracts to
manufacture contain conflict minerals from
the Democratic Republic of the Congo or
an adjoining country, but the products are
“DRC conflict free,” is that issuer required
to file a Form SD with a Conflict Minerals
Report and obtain an independent private
sector audit of the Conflict Minerals
Report?
Answer:
Yes. The issuer, however, is not
required to disclose the products
containing those conflict minerals in its
Conflict Minerals Report or provide certain
other disclosures specified in Item
1.01(c)(2) of Form SD because those
products are “DRC conflict free.”
Question:
An issuer manufactures or contracts to
have manufactured tools, machines, or
other equipment for it to use in the
manufacture of products, and those tools,
machines, or other equipment contain
conflict minerals. If the issuer after using
those tools, machines, or other equipment
subsequently sells such equipment, is the
issuer required to file a report on Form SD
regarding the conflict minerals in such
equipment?
Answer:
No. The tools, machines, or other
equipment are not products of that issuer,
and the staff will not view their later entry
into the stream of commerce as
transforming them into products of that
issuer.
Question:
If a product manufactured by an issuer
or contracted by an issuer to be
manufactured contains a conflict mineral
solely because the conflict mineral is in a
“generic” component included in the
product, does the issuer need to conduct a
reasonable country of origin inquiry
regarding the origin of the conflict mineral
in the generic component? We note that
the issuer has not contracted to
manufacture the generic component.
Answer:
Yes. An issuer would be required to
conduct a reasonable country of origin
inquiry with respect to conflict minerals
included in generic components included
in products it manufactures or contracts to
manufacture. In this regard, there is no
distinction between the components of a
product that an issuer directly
manufactures or contracts to manufacture
and the “generic” ones it purchases to
include in a product.

READER'S CORNER
EFC International Expands Offering of
Retaining Rings - St. Louis, MO.
EFC International, a leading provider of
specialty engineered components, is now
offering inch and metric retaining rings,
manufactured by BENERI S.P.A. Beneri,
located in Valmadrera Italy, has been in
business since 1958 and is the leading
retaining ring supplier throughout Europe,
in both automotive and industrial markets.
EFC, supporting Beneri’s expansion into
North America, will be providing a full
range of inch and metric size rings, for
both shaft and housing/bore applications;
many already stocked

Retaining rings are
offered in a wide
variety of sizes to
accommodate a broad
range of shaft
diameters and groove
diameters.
Axially Assembled, Internal
(for Housings/Bores) and External

shaft applications including automotive,
axles, transmissions, motors and
gearboxes, radially assembled retaining
rings are ideal for tight clearances and
