All American Systems team is well versed in fastener applications and fastening methods. Based in the Chicago suburbs, our team coverage in the Midwest includes Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin.     While many of the components we sell are commodity based parts and identified as having low unit cost, we help customers focus on the total installed cost of the fastener to the end user. Plating and secondary treatments play a critical role in fastener performance and greatly influences selling price and installation results

Early involvement in engineering and design work can lead to "best practice" assembly methods reducing unnecessary cost and potential service issues.     All American Systems is here to help with material selection, point styles and thread configuration, as well as hole sizes, secondary platings and even installation tools just to mention a few the considerations that can affect a successful fastener selection.     As part of our commitment to you, if we do not represent a supplier that can handle your requirement, we will stay involved in the sourcing process to find you a suitable supply option. This reinforces your trust in us and establishes our role as a valuable resource group.

Many of our suppliers carry significant inventory so you don't have to! Reducing inventory carrying costs and decreasing lead time is the name of the game in today's market and we strive to balance your demands against availability and manufacturing lead times.     Blanket orders and safety stock are just two methods used to ensure you have the material you need to address spike demands and stock out situations. As always communication is vital in the supply chain when schedules are tight and we are here to help in that process.     A number of our suppliers are prepared to handle your RUSH orders when there is no lead time.
