US fastener supplier Packer Fastener has opened a new branch in Iowa.
Located in Cedar Rapids, the site will serve contractors and manufacturers across the Hawkeye State and the wider Midwest.
CEO Terry Albrecht said the expansion will enable the company to strengthen support for customers throughout middle America.
Packer Fastener currently operates seven facilities in Wisconsin, along with additional locations in Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio, Kansas and, more recently, Georgia and Mississippi.
The new distribution hub in Pearl, Mississippi, serves the Jackson area and will allow Packer Fastener to better meet the needs of commercial contractors, manufacturers and fabricators across Mississippi and the Southeastern US — particularly those operating in high-demand sectors such as data centres, EV battery and automotive plants, power generation and industrial construction.
The company also opened a new distribution centre in Ohio earlier this year.
More recently, Packer Fastener participated in the TitletownTech and Microsoft AI Co-Innovation Lab to advance its AI capabilities, streamline internal processes and improve customer experience.
