86 THE DISTRIBUTOR’S

86 THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK Anixter Fasteners announced its L450,000 (US2,000) independent testing laboratory in Gloucester is commissioned and is independently audited. "We support the largest OEMs, including a large proportion of the automotive industry," Anixter vice president of technical services Richard Hawker explained. "The fasteners and components that we supply are therefore often application critical, for example in chassis build or construction of braking assemblies." "At A-lab in Gloucester we offer over 25 different tests to scrutinize the integrity of a huge array of components," metallurgist Lee Pugh noted. Testing includes metallurgical, mechanical, chemical, failure investigation and product finish and BS, ISO, ASTM and Ford standards. For more information, contact them at 2301 Patriot Blvd., Glenview, IL 60026. Tel: 224-521- 8000 or visit us on the web at www.anixter.com. *** For the first time in its history, Alcoa Fastening Systems is announcing that the Huck brand of fasteners and tooling will be available through open distribution. The new plan offers three levels of distributor involvement: Tiers 1, 2 & 3.. Tiers are assigned based on levels of product support, sales requirements, training participation, and other services. "With open distribution we're increasing the availability of our entire product line. Singlepoint ordering and clear-cut field support is going to be better for everyone,” stated Michelle Hanley, Distribution Program Manager for Alcoa Fastening Systems. Distributors will now have a choice of purchase locations. They may continue to purchase Huck brand product from other distributors, or purchase directly through the AFS warehouse in Tracy, CA. Select Huck products will be made available at the Tracy warehouse for small orders.
