Century Fasteners New Distributor for Cherry Aerospace

Century Fasteners Corp. of Elmhurst, N.Y., has become an authorized distributor for Cherry Aerospace, a member of the SPS Fastener Division of Precision Castparts Corp., headquartered in Santa Ana, Calif. 

 

In addition to making Cherry fastener products more broadly available to distributors and OEMs, the new partnership expands Century’s existing services to the manufacturing community by enabling the company to provide deeper bill of material coverage to complement its product offering. 

 

“This partnership marks a milestone in Century’s evolution by enabling us to provide even broader material coverage competitively to the marketplace,” says Evan Stieglitz, company co-president.

 

Century’s strategic presence in Mexico is said to have been a factor in the finalizing the distribution agreement, according to Stieglitz, adding that as the new relationship takes hold, Century will focus on key suppliers to Boeing, Lockheed Martin, General Electric, and Airbus.

 

Century, an ISO9001: 2008 and AS9120 Rev.A certified company, stocks more than 100,000 discrete parts, and offers a variety of services, including VMI in-plant programs, custom kitting, engineering services, and supply-chain management solutions.
