Jeff Hepner is the new executive vice president of Telefast Industries Inc., president Kathleen Ferry announced.
Hepner was vice president of sales & marketing at Lake Erie Screw Corporation for the past four years. He began his 30-year fastener career with his father�s rep agency, W.A. Hepner & Associates Inc. Hepner joined Lake Erie in 1978 in outside sales.
The change completes Telefast�s new management team after the death of Jeff Ferry, 43, in June.
Kathleen Ferry, who holds a master�s degree in accounting from the Kellogg School at Northwestern University, has stepped up her role at Berea, OH-based Telefast. Previously she managed the financial end and her husband headed sales and operations.
Ferry also said the Internet trading portal started by Jeff Ferry in 2000, 1stFastener.com, has been mothballed. Refunds have been sent to subscribers. “I can�t do it all and I decided to put my efforts into Telefast. It was my husband�s vision and he was the driving force behind it.”
Ferry held out the possibility that 1stFastener may be brought back at “some later date.” �2002 FastenerNews.com
