Just saw where Columbus Fasteners in Columbus, Ohio was purchased by Bostwick Braun. It is an interesting purchase. Bostwick Braun is an industrial supplier, but not one that aggressively promotes its fasteners. They lead with other products and also carry fasteners. When Applied Industrial purchased UZ Engineered Products and then Parts Associates, I felt the same way. Applied has some fasteners, but they were not a full line fastener supplier. I guess my point is that industrial suppliers seem to be acquiring and diving more aggressively into the fastener market. (…)
