Fabory Marking 60th Anniversary
John Wolz
Fabory is marking the 60th anniversary of J.M. Borstlap and sons Karel and Joop founding the fastener distributorship originally named Borstlap & Sons in the Dutch coastal town Scheveningen. As fastener wholesale traders they soon began to sell most of their products under the Fabory brand name.
After outgrowing several locations in The Hague, the Borstlap family relocated to Tilburg in 1968. Several take-overs resulted in The Borstlap Masters in Fasteners Group, a name associated worldwide with high quality products.
John Borstlap was the last member of the Borstlap family to take an active part in the company. Alfons van der Aa became CEO in 2002. In 2006 the name Borstlap was changed to Fabory for group identity.
Today there are 1.750 Fabory employees serve 120.000 customers worldwide by handling up to 7.5 million order lines per year. Fabory stocks 80.000 different mechanical and chemical fasteners, tools and industrial supplies from 1.000 suppliers. Fabory has 100 locations in 14 countries and is headquartered at Zeenheuvelenweg 44, 5004 EA Tilburg, The Netherlands.
