We have dropped the green flag on 2021 and we are off to the races. Our teams have set lofty goals for 2021 and we are extremely excited about the positive momentum we have coming off a great 4th quarter. One of my 2021 goals is to generate a summary presentation at least once a quarter to keep you informed as to the goings on at TFI.
We do have an exciting announcement on our latest addition to the TFI Family of companies. At the end of January, we closed on an acquisition in Meridian MS with Construction Fasteners. For over 20 years Construction Fasteners has been owned and operated by Craig Melancon and we are blessed with this opportunity to have Craig and his team join the TFI family. Our new Meridian operations becomes our 11th location as Threaded Fasteners Meridian Branch. This acquisition will allow our teams to merge forces and to expand our footprint in the Central Mississippi market. Craig and his team bring a wealth of knowledge to our family and we are looking forward to great things from our new Meridian partners.
January 7th marked the 1,000 Day of no Time-Lost Incidents at our Semmes Manufacturing facility. Our Chattanooga branch is moving to a larger facility in a more strategic location, this expansion is a testament to our Chattanooga team’s hard work. In addition to this wonderful news our team is working on many great things to come in this month and this year, we are currently working on the plans for the new building in Semmes as well as potential acquisitions.
As our nations, communities and companies still deal with Covid issues, I am praying that the worst of this will pass soon. I am looking forward to 2021 and keeping you updated on our progress is an important part of my 2021 goals.
Looking forward to seeing you soon,
Billy Duren
President and CEO
Threaded Fasteners, Inc.
