With world annihilation averted, the FTR boys convene a
semi-all star panel to explore the future of the fastener industry after reviewing the year gone by.
John Butler, of
K&L Sales, the iPhone-toting
Andy Pels, of
ScrewCrew.com, and the indefatigable,
Mr. Tom Buddenbohn, of
Technology Components Southwest, share their insights and predictions (81:14).
BB&T analyst,
Holden Lewis, joins
Fastener Technology International editor,
Mr. Mike McNulty, on the
Fastener News Report to discuss the latest
FDI reading, which crept up slightly in December (50:01). Plus, the industry locks and loads as
Fidelis Fasteners founder,
Rob Lucas, fires at point blank range while explaining his thoughts on the recent round of industry consolidation (14:55). Hosts Brian Musker and Eric Dudas aim toward a future of mobile network access even as they
stockpile their ammo for the future of the fastener industry. Run time: 02:24:29
