Fastenix was founded in 2009 by Mike Wayte and Victor Carlson. With over 40 years of experience in the Sheet Metal Fabrication business, they saw an opportunity in our new global economy for a streamlined supply operation - same quality, superior service - at a fraction of the price for their clients. Together they have assembled a team of ISO9001:2009 certified factories to bring high quality, RoHS compliant, ASTM standardized products to the North American market. Fastenix operates with the highest level of integrity and honesty, and is always customer focused.
