88 THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK BRIGHTON-BEST INTERNATIONAL USA Headquarters, 5855 Obispo Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90805 TEL 562-808-8000 FAX 562-808-8137 EMAIL sales@brightonbest.com WEB www.brightonbest.com A FASTENER (INDUSTRIAL/SAFETY/CUTTING TOOL/ HAND TOOL/ANCHOR/VENDING) SUPPLY HOUSE Brighton-Best, the international leader in the fastener supply channel, was yet again the talk of the National Industrial Fastener Show as they introduced new products and services to the fastener distributors in attendance. Many distributors were eagerly awaiting the opening of the show to see what Brighton-Best would offer after they surprised everyone last year by introducing the Proferred Hand Tool Line. This year Brighton-Best went above and beyond by introducing Proferred Safety Supplies, cutting tools and even vending, in addition to expanding the Proferred Hand tools! The new products and focus on industrial supply was well received by the distribution channel and the opportunity to expand into new lines and open new revenue channels was welcomed across the board. Brighton-Best remains committed to the fastener market and have expanded their offerings on stainless products, including 410 stainless screws, and metric products to make sure they are the one-stop shop for fasteners. Now that industrial supplies are being offered distributors will be able to bundle not only the fasteners but the entire line of industrial products into one prepaid shipment! Steve Andrasik, VP of Sales, commented that “never before in our industry has the fastener distributor been able to combine all of the products and expertise across so many industrial fields into one channel. The benefits for each distributor will come not only through reduced ownership costs but will open up completely new markets.” Now that Brighton-Best has made all of the major industrial lines available it only made sense to add the services required to bring the product to market. Brighton- BUSINESS FOCUS ARTICLE Best just announced that they are offering a vending solution so distributors can service plant locations and VMI centered programs that include more than fasteners and can be modified for each location’s requirements. Brighton rolls out the vending program in January 2017 and distributors are lining up to get a machine. The program offers a vending machine free of charge to all Brighton-Best distributors who can move a predetermined amount of the Proferred Product lines. (Call your local branch for details.) In addition to the cutting tools and the hand tool lines, Brighton-Best has also added many categories of consumables to assist every distributor in achieving success: Nitrile gloves, work gloves, tape, glue and cable ties are already in stock and ready for immediate delivery. Quotes Jun Xu, Brighton- Best President: ”Today we are at a crossroad. To the right: growth and the left: recession. There is no stay the course road to prosperity. 2017 will be a difficult year for the industrial fastener supplier. As we move forward we will be defined by the opportunities we bring to our distributors and our ability to strengthen our distribution channel. I truly believe the most diversified and well capitalized companies will emerge from this economy stronger than they went in.” With over 20 stocking locations in the US, Brighton- Best has next day service to all major population centers and with the largest and most diverse fastener inventory in the world, coupled with a complete line of industrial products and consumables, Brighton-Best can provide new opportunity, excellent service and a path to greater success.
