For over 25 years, the company has been producing high quality cold headed stainless steel and non-ferrous screws, bolts, and nuts. Despite turbulent market conditions over the past 28 years, they have managed to become one of the leading domestic manufacturers serving fastener distributors throughout the US for both commercial and Mil-Spec fasteners. The company continues to grow with over 50 employees and operates under a newly constructed 143,000 square foot manufacturing complex. Fall River is 9001:2008 ISO Certified, and QSLM Class 2 approved, complete with inprocess inspections, material and production lot number traceability. They have the ability to supply full certifications to 100% domestic manufacture when required by the purchaser for municipal and government projects. Company Vice President and General Manager, David Monti, stated that one of the company’s key strategies is service. In a market where there have been few technological advances over the years, there are many manufacturers both foreign and domestic who can make quality fasteners. With the growing demand for faster deliveries and in response to “line down” situations, Fall River Manufacturing offers some of the quickest turnaround times in the industry. Fall River provides personal service and technical assistance to the distributor market that is second to none. When distributors utilize the type of manufacturing expertise that Fall River provides, they have a new level of confidence that enables them to succeed in competitive markets. Fall River also partners with distributors by initiating blanket order programs with scheduled release dates. This is a great way to stabilize prices over the duration of the blanket order, enabling the distributor to better manage their inventory as well as cash flow.
