FTI Tradeshow Sponsor
In the industry, STAR is known as a “screw company” and STAR is in the
“screw business”. In fact, we sell more than just screws; we sell a whole
range of fasteners including nuts, washers, cotter pins, threaded rod and
bolts. STAR is a wholesaler, since nearly all of our sales are to other screw
distributors who, in turn, resell our product to the end users.
STAR specializes in exotic metals: stainless steel, silicon bronze, and brass.
We no longer manufacture any of our products. About 80% are imported
mainly from Taiwan and Thailand, with the remaining 20% made for us by
US, China, India and Japan manufacturers.
