MFDA Proudly Supports Toys for Tots Program
Showing the generosity of its
membership, some of whom are
themselves still struggling with the
aftereffects of Hurricane Sandy, the
Metropolitan Fastener Distributors
Association completed its most
successful “Toys for Tots” drive with
its 2013 campaign. Culminating with
a dinner at the Al Di La Restaurant in
East Rutherford NJ, the MFDA
received its largest ever donation of
toys from members and friends of the
MFDA alike.
According to the director of the
Toys for Tots drive, the MFDA’s cash
donation of five thousand dollars in
addition to the toy donation, means
the MFDA will be designated as a
“National Corporate Donor” for
the 2014.

Andrew Duguay, of ITR Economics
Addresses the MFDA
On February 11th, 2014, the MFDA hosted its annual Economic Forecast at
Moran’s Restaurant in the heart of Manhattan’s Chelsea District. Thank
goodness the weather cooperated, as the meeting was originally slated for
January 21st, but had to be re-scheduled due to the impacts of a major
snowstorm. This was the first in a series of educational seminars scheduled
for 2014 in the greater New York City area.
Jay Minichino, President of the MFDA, welcomed approximately 45 guests,
who were all eager to hear Andrew Duguay, of ITR Economics, presentation
“Ahead of the Curve: The Economy 2014 & Beyond”. This was the first
occasion that Andrew presented to the MFDA membership, however ITR
Economics, has presented many times over the past few decades. Andrew
is a senior economist with the ITR Economics, where he provides economic
consulting services for small businesses, trade associations, and Fortune
500 companies across a spectrum of industries. His economic insight and
forecasting experience play a key role in the long-term 94.7% accuracy rating
for his firm.
Andrew stated that the US economy has been growing each year since
2009 and will continue to grow over the next 3-5 years. Leading economic
indicators show no signs of collapse, as we have been hitting pre-recession
levels since 2009. He also discussed how near-shoring or re-shoring, is
going to help our continued economic growth, as companies are bringing
jobs back to the United States. He went on to tell the membership about the
incline in online sales, and according to the Fastener & Bolt Index, the
fastener industry is growing slowly but securely. He suggested that we try to
hold on to employees that hold special skill sets, and that we invest in
training programs, as finding skilled workers in the future will be difficult and
costly.
Duguay concluded the presentation with his suggestions of we should do
during this business cycle. We should stay realistic; realize that growth is
organic and leveraged. We should build efficiencies to maintain the margins,
while we cross train personnel. As business people we should assess our
capacity while keeping an eye for the business cycle upturn in 2015, and do
our best to lock in cost ahead of the rising interest rate and inflation.

MFDA Panelists: Sales Are Up,
But No Sustained Boom Yet
Panel Discussion April 11th
Sales are up, but Metropolitan
Fastener Distributors Association
panelists weren’t ready to declare an
economic boom.
Panel moderator Mike Smith of rep
agency Smith Associates asked the
four April 2014 panelists to
summarize business this year.
“We seem to be seeing light at the
end of the tunnel,” said master
distributor Ed Werner of EZ Sockets.
But projected inflation and
slowdowns in 2015 could be “an
oncoming train,” he said.
Domestic manufacturer Matthew
Boyd of Parker Fasteners declared
he is “optimistic on manufacturing,”
and anticipates a “correction in 2014
with steady, but slow increases.”
“Sales are up,” manufacturers rep
Rob Rundle of R.W. Rundle
Associates finds. “We base our
forecast on quote activity,” and that
implies incremental increases for
2014, Rundle said.
There was general agreement that
the economic outlook had been
bleak in December, when Congress
was shutting down the government.
While the situation has improved,
the economy is not strong yet.
Smith noted Kiplinger reports GDP
was up 3% last year and expects a
2% rise this year. Are panelists
seeing similar numbers?
Boyd: “We’re up.” Helping is an
push for “onshoring” or domestic
fasteners.
Werner: “Not 3% yet” for the year,
as before February it was running
1% up.
Importer Simmi Sakhuja of Stelfast
Inc. pegged the current fastener
price increase rate at 2%. Based on
looking 90 to 120 days ahead, she
forecast gradual price increases
probably through 2014.
Importers are watching the closing
of some surface treatment plants
due to pollution (see FIN, April 7,
2014).
“We are concerned about China
and Taiwan, where governments are
imposing requirements on plating
and heat treating that will probably
cause interruption in supply and
increases in prices,” Simmi said.
Relocating plating will increase
costs, she noted.
Importers also are watching tariffs,
Simmi added.
Werner cautioned of potential
large duties – as much as 85% – on
China stainless steel fasteners.
Moderator Smith asked panelists
about customer loyalty.
Werner responded that “customers
are loyal unless they have a reason
not to be.”

Loyalty needs to be a two-way
street, Simmi said. “Does the
customer give us honest information
and honest feedback?” she asked.
Werner said. “What is the tensile
strength of an item the customer
needs?”
Smith asked about motivation in
their companies.
“We think of Stelfast as a team,”
Simmi said. There is motivation by
“creating a family environment.”
Werner agreed with working as a
team and suggested motivating “by
treating everyone properly.”
Rundle and Smith agreed that just
a commission check is not the prime
motivator.

MFDA Panelists:
(cont.)
“The commission check is not the
report card,” Smith said.
Rundle said his personal
motivation is that his father started
the rep agency. “I have the
responsibility now.”
Another motivator for Rundle is “to
see that our principal is successful.”
Boyd said updating employees and
communicating is important. “Get
people engaged,” Boyd advised.
Smith said his motivation is that “I
don’t want to let my customer down.”
Smith: Percentage of quotes to
orders?
Boyd finds 17% of quotes
eventually become orders. “Our goal
is 30%,” he added.
Email increases price competition
by facilitating “fast quotes,” Werner
observed. “There’s a lot of quoting
for the amount of orders that are
actually written.”
Smith asked panelists what impact
the Affordable Care Act is having on
fastener companies and what is the
trend in employer health care plans?
Panelists agreed health care costs
are rising and that both employers
and employees are paying more and
insurers are cutting back. Werner
said his overall company health
insurance rate rose 18%.
“Health care rates are now age
rated and therefore all different rates
prevail,” Werner explained. Older
employees pay more than younger.
“ACA is good for the poor and the
working poor, but insurance
companies are taking it out on
everyone else.”
Simmi said the increased rates hit
with the annual policy renewal.
Premiums up 17%, deductibles up
and rates being set by age.
Boyd noted that a 50% jump in
rates at renewals led to employees
paying more too.

MFDA Panelists:
(cont.)
Despite health insurance
increases, the panelists want to
continue providing coverage to
employees.
Smith: How are you using the
Web?
Their websites are “informational,”
panelists agreed. Websites are not
for listing prices.
After providing basic information
online, Stelfast communicates by
email “to do the work for customers.
We find out what they need.”
As a rep, Rundle’s online presence
is focused “toward principals we
represent.”
In explaining that EZ Sockets'
website is informational, Werner said
“e-commerce is not our operation.”
Boyd said the Parker website
protects distributor customers with a
customer login section.
6
Boyd added that there is still a
value to meeting customers in
person. Beyond anything online,
having customers visit the plant is
valuable. “Tours are good.”
Smith: What is your single biggest
challenge?
Boyd: “Growth.”
Simmi: Discussing how to handle
challenges. Stelfast’s values are
people and service – not technology.
Werner: “Ensuring a viable
company for the future. What do we
have for the future — technology lets
us do everything on the phone, Too
fast for me!”

Bill Weisberg Addresses MFDA
Discussing Conflict Minerals
On March 11th 2014, the MFDA invited Bill Weisberg,
of the Law Offices of William Weisberg , back again, this
time to discuss with it’s membership the topic of Conflict
Minerals. The Securities and Exchange Commission
adopted a rule mandated by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act to require
companies to publicly disclose their use of conflict
minerals that originated in the Democratic Republic of
the Congo (DRC) or an adjoining country. These
minerals include: tantalum, tin, gold, or tungsten. If
those minerals are “necessary to the functionality or
production of a product” manufactured by those
companies, companies are required to provide this
disclosure on a new form to be filed with the SEC called
Form SD.
The regulatory reform law directed the Commission to
issue rules requiring certain companies to disclose their
use of conflict minerals that include tantalum, tin, gold,
or tungsten if those minerals are “necessary to the
functionality or production of a product” manufactured by
those companies. Companies are required to provide
this disclosure on a new form to be filed with the SEC
called Form SD. Bill Weisberg, who has practiced
government contract law for over 25 years, while leading
the Government
Contract practice
groups at large,
international law
firms for most of the
last 15 years, informed
the audience as to their responsibilities. While much of
the fastener industry may not be using the metals
discussed in the DoddFrank Act, there is still the
obligation to provide
documentation stating so,
as requested by customers.
The United States
Government being the
largest single purchaser of
goods and services in the
world “government
procurement” is a key
element of our national
(and world) economy. This
leads Mr. Weisberg’s Firm to concentrate on government
contract and closely related areas.

Key Provisions Under the Affordable Care Act
for Employers with Up to 50 Employees
Implementation of the Affordable Care Act occurs in
stages, with many of the reforms and requirements
originally scheduled to take effect in 2013 and 2014.
Some of the provisions that may impact employers with
up to 50 employees include:
• Small Business Health Options Program-small
employers with generally up to 50 employees have
access to the new Health Insurance Marketplace
through the Small Business Health Options Program
(SHOP). Small businesses may pay on average
18% more than big businesses for health insurance.
• Employer Notice to Employees of the New Health
Insurance Marketplace
Under the Affordable Care Act, employers covered by
the Fair Labor Standards Act (generally, those firms that
have at least one employee and at least $500,000 in
annual dollar volume of business), must provide
