A Brief History of the Southwestern Fastener Association

In its early stages the Southwestern Fastener Association was known as the Texas Fastener Association.
The association was founded on the basic principle that there was a need in the fastener industry to exchange ideas and experiences on successful business practices and techniques related to our market.

The association held an initial formative meeting at the La Baron Hotel in Dallas on November 21, 1974, with 27 persons, representing 20 companies.

The first formal meeting was held in January 1975, with 67 persons, representing 50 companies, in attendance.  At this meeting, the name of the group formally changed to the Southwestern Fastener Association.
