Anixter Forms New Fastener Division
John Wolz
Anixter International created a new brand by integrating the operations of Anixter Pentacon, UK-based Walters Hexagon and recently acquired Distribution Dynamics Inc. to form Anixter Fasteners.\ Using the slogan “Big on small components,” Anixter Fasteners is a $500 million business with 200 locations in 42 countries, and is headed by Gary Conrad. The division has service centers in 28 states, as well as Washington, DC, and Toronto, to serve the OEM market. Brian Becker, vice president of marketing for Anixter Fasteners, said the new division would focus on providing quality customized logistics and supply chain solutions. Anixter Fasteners is headquartered at 2301 Patriot Blvd., Glenview, IL 60026. Tel: 224 521-8000.
Parent company Anixter purchased the Pentagon group in 2002, and then acquired Walters Hexagon in late 2003. In 2004 Anixter bought DDI during a bankruptcy auction, outbidding rival Fastenal Co. for the distributor. �2004 FastenerNews.com
