May 28-29:

Fastener Fair USA

Nashville, TN

Booth #TBD

In May, we’re excited to return to Nashville to exhibit for the first time at Fastener Fair USA. As a longstanding fastener supplier, this event presents a fantastic opportunity to showcase our wide range of products and expertise in the fastener market. Our offerings include fasteners for manufacturing and repairing truck bodies, utility bodies, trailers, fire and rescue vehicles, emergency vehicles, buses, rail cars, and marine vessels.

Our products, which range from standard nuts, screws, bolts, and washers to specialty structural bolts, rivets, inserts, weld fasteners, and fastening tools, allow us to serve most other industrial and commercial applications.

Additionally, we offer an Exclusive TLC Maintenance and Quick Turn Repair program for all types of fastening tools. As a Huck Partner Distributor, we are proud to be one of the few distributors in the country certified to demonstrate, sell, service, and repair Huck fastening tools.

Our small-pack, pre-packaged fasteners provide an excellent solution for consumers, DIYers, commercial retailers, and dealers who don’t need to purchase in bulk.

 

August 27-28:

North American Trailer Dealers Association (NATDA) Trailer Show

Nashville, TN

Booth #TBD

Our final show stop in 2025 will take us back to Nashville for the NATDA Trailer Show. We’re still working out the details for this event. Indeed, most of the same Austin Guaranteed Engineered Solutions featured at the NATM show and others will be on hand, plus some new additions to our line that come along through the first half of 2025.

We would love to meet with you if you attend any of these events. Call your Austin Hardware representative or your nearest Austin Hardware location to schedule a one-on-one meeting, or stop by our booth at any of the events.

We wish you a successful 2025 and look forward to meeting with you.
