THE BIRMINGHAM FASTENER WAY
Behind every bolt is a team that believes in doing whatever it takes – for our customers, our teammates and our community.
Built on Values. Proven in Action.
Customers count on us to move fast, communicate clearly and deliver products that perform. We earn that trust by living our core values and holding ourselves to the highest standards with each job. The Birmingham Fastener Way brings those values to life – and it’s why you can expect dependable service and high-quality products.
Core Values
Our success starts with people who believe in doing things the right way. These core values keep us aligned, accountable and committed to the kind of service that makes a difference for our customers.
Environmental Health and Safety
Protecting people protects performance. Our commitment to a safe, healthy workplace ensures reliable operations, consistent quality and confidence in every order.
“Nothing is more important than making sure everyone goes home safe at the end of the day – our team, our customers and the people who depend on our work.”
Brad Tinney, President and CEO
Leadership
We understand our words and actions carry meaning. Whether it’s sourcing hard-to-find parts or building custom components to spec, our people step up to meet your toughest challenges.
“When we were much smaller, we would all be out there packing up a truckload of bolts – around 45,000 pounds in one day. We did it to make sure a customer got their order last minute. And that same attitude drives us today.”
Cheryl Wade, Data Analyst
Communication
We’re open, honest and direct. You can count on clear answers, quick responses and proactive updates that prevent surprises in the field. Because our job isn’t just to learn, it’s to help ensure everyone stays informed.
“Even though I’ve been in the fastener world for 15 years and here for 10, I learn something new every day. Between AISC updates and industry chatter, we make a point to pass along the updates to engineers and customers.”
Gloria Medina, Inside Sales Rep
Grit
We find a way to get you what you need, when you need it. Whether it means reworking schedules, staying late or shipping parts by air, our team constantly works to keep your projects on track.
Our discipline shows up in the numbers, with warehouses like our Dallas distribution center running at around 96% on-time on the year.
Service
Outrageous service means doing everything we can to make your job easier. We focus on the details that drive performance and trust, from the seamless delivery of a 90,000-pound steel shipment to the careful inspection of flight-ready fasteners.
“Every improvement I make behind the scenes helps customers get what they need faster and with fewer errors. When I taught myself new systems and tools, it wasn’t just to grow my skills; it was to help us serve customers better.”
Alan Starns, Web Admin
Accountability
We take ownership of our work from quote to delivery. No matter what the day brings, our team adapts quickly to find solutions and ensure every customer experience is exceptional.
“Before I look anywhere else, I always try to figure out how I could have made something better. That’s just how we operate here.”
Cody Calvert, Quality Manager
Character
We build relationships on integrity, empathy and respect. That means being accessible, staying humble, showing kindness and treating every customer like a partner.
“All my customers have my cell, and I tell them to call me whenever they want. If they prefer to text, that’s fine too. But I’m always working to make customer relationships easy and personal.”
Felicia Dominguez, Sales and Business Development
Teamwork
Every success story here is a team effort. Collaboration across locations, departments and roles ensures consistent quality and quick turnaround. One team. One goal. No excuses.
“I know a lot about their families, and they know a lot about mine. When challenges come up, it’s easier to work through them together.”
Seth Mattox, Sales Rep

The Challenge Coin: Our Everyday Reminder
Every teammate carries a challenge coin engraved with our eight core values. It represents the promise with every order – to work safely, deliver dependably and always do whatever it takes. That promise connects our people across every facility and every customer we serve.
Ask anyone on our team what it means to them, and you’ll hear a different story. But together, those stories and values are what make The Birmingham Fastener Way.
