History
On the verge of bankruptcy for a second time, Atlantic Fasteners was bought by local brothers Pat and Larry O'Toole. During the 1980's, the company became computerized which helped reverse the company's previous reputation of poor service.In the 1990's the company introduced bar code inventory management for customers which proved to be popular because it increased accuracy and reduced mistakes. In 2004, Atlantic Fasteners launched an aerospace fasteners division, afaero.com. In October 2005, the company became 100% Employee Owned (ESOP). In August 2015, Atlantic Fasteners was purchased by Applied Industrial Technologies and became part of their Maintenance Supplies and Solutions division.
