COMPANY HISTORY
Better Solutions By Design
Apex Fasteners was founded in early 2002 by Bryan Earll, a veteran of the fasteners industry. Matthew Cicero joined the firm as a partner and Co-Owner in late 2002, adding experience from the consulting and financial services industries. Apex Fasteners resided in Monrovia, CA for 13 years before moving to its current location in Irwindale, CA to accommodate its growth.
Apex Fasteners, as a wholesale distributor of fasteners and fastener tools, has supported manufacturers, distributors, and retail customers for over 25 years. We strive to add new product lines and expanded services for our customers. We have a customer base that includes most industries and which is located in North America, Europe, and Asia.
2022 saw several changes at Apex Fasteners. Most notably, Bryan Earll retired from the firm leaving Matthew Cicero the sole Owner. At the same time, the firm experienced significant growth causing an acceleration in hiring and the institutionalization of processes across the firm. That effort continues to this day.
Apex Fasteners exists to provide solutions for our customers' needs. We provide common assembly solutions through our extensive knowledge of fastener types. We provide custom designed solutions through our understanding of materials and manufacturing processes. We provide pricing solutions through our network of vendors and our strong buying power. We provide availability solutions through our proactive communication with customers and vendors and our awareness of industry trends.
Apex Fasteners is dedicated to creating strong, long-term business relationships with both customers and vendors. It is our goal to allow our customers to focus on their products and customers without concern for their fastener and fastener tool needs. We become part of their process.
