Field Fastener

The scariest words on the production floor? “We thought we had more.” 👻 An empty fastener bin can turn an ordinary workday into a scramble: tracking down parts, chasing deliveries, and hoping production can keep moving. A little Halloween advice from us: check your replenishment triggers before your bins become a jump scare. Do they still reflect your actual usage and supplier lead times? We help our customers build replenishment plans around what their operations need, so fewer surprises make it to the production floor. Keep the scares in the haunted house, contact our team today 🎃 https://hubs.la/Q04BvMkr0 #FieldFastener #Manufacturing #InventoryManagement #VendorManagedInventory #HappyHalloween

👻 The ghosts are back again... and apparently, they brought reinforcements! What started as a few spooky sightings last Halloween has turned into a full-blown ghost crew at Field Fastener. Good thing we're experts at keeping things together... because these spirits are getting out of hand! 🔩 Happy Halloween from all of us at Field! 🎃

When a supplier helps solve that problem your team has been working around for months, a high-five feels pretty reasonable. Maybe it’s a fastening issue that keeps slowing assembly. Or a replenishment process that requires more follow-up than it should. We'd like to understand what would make a meaningful difference to YOUR team. That’s where a useful conversation (and a better solution) can begin. So, you tell us: what’s one thing a supplier could do to make your workday easier? Have something a bit more in depth? Contact us today, and we'll help to get things sorted out: https://hubs.la/Q04BN-VD0 #FieldFastener #MoreThanPartsAPartner #Procurement #Manufacturing

A penny per part matters. At 100,000 parts, that’s $1,000 worth of attention. The next question is what happens around that purchase. Does the lower price require larger orders? Does the part add an assembly step? What do your records show about rework or expedited freight? Those details can change the annual cost comparison. We want to challenge our customers to evaluate the part and the process around it so purchasing decisions have a stronger foundation. See how those costs can add up in the hypothetical comparison in our latest blog: https://hubs.la/Q04BvN3M0 #FieldFastener #CostReduction #SupplierEvaluation #Manufacturing

As you may have seen, there's an exciting new chapter unfolding right here in our community! Through the generosity of the Derry family and Field, a new chapter is beginning for a longtime community landmark in Machesney Park, Illinois. In partnership with the YMCA of Rock River Valley, the former Harlem Community Center has officially become the Field House YMCA! This exciting partnership will help expand opportunities for children, families, and individuals throughout our community, bringing new programs, resources, and experiences to a place that has already meant so much to so many. For 50 years, Field's story has been about more than fasteners. It's been about people, relationships, and finding ways to make a difference. And while we're incredibly proud of how far we've come, we're even more excited about the impact we can continue to make. What better way to celebrate 50 years than by investing in the next generation? As we close out this series, we want to thank everyone who has been part of Field's story over the last five decades. Our team members, customers, suppliers, and communities have all helped shape who we are today. Here's to honoring where we've been, celebrating how far we've come, and building something even greater for the next 50 years. 50 Years Strong. More than Parts. A Partner. 💚 https://hubs.la/Q04Ck86H0 #Field50 #DidYouKnow #50YearsOfField #FieldFastener #FieldHouseYMCA #CommunityMatters #MoreThanPartsAPartner

Nobody puts “chase that fastener order again” at the top of their wish list. But checking bins, following up on deliveries, and placing extra orders can become a familiar part of the workweek. If those tasks keep landing on your purchasing team’s plate, they’re worth bringing into the supplier conversation. Our VMI team works with customers to understand how replenishment fits into their day and where the process could improve. So much so, that we saved one of our customers $50,000 by suggesting and implementing changes to make their processes work FOR them. https://hubs.la/Q04BD8Zc0 #FieldFastener #Procurement #VendorManagedInventory #SupplyChain

The parts arrived. Did the cost match what you expected? Freight, applicable duties, and other fees can change the comparison between two supplier quotes. Some charges may be included in one proposal and listed separately in another. Before calling one option the better deal, ask what it will cost to get those parts to your door, and which assumptions could change. Those details and transparency belong in the conversation from the beginning. Haven't checked out our blog yet? It walks through the costs worth bringing into your supplier review: https://hubs.la/Q04BvMCT0 #FieldFastener #StrategicSourcing #Procurement #TotalCostOfOwnership

Some of the values that shape Field's culture today started long before they were ever written on a wall! When Bill and Jim Derry purchased Field in 1990, they brought with them the values they grew up with: doing the right thing, treating others with respect, working hard, having fun, and putting love into what you do. Those principles eventually helped shape our Fieldamentals and our mission: To have everyone who interacts with us, love us! Fifty years into Field's story, those values are still at the heart of who we are. https://hubs.la/Q04BPcnd0 #Field50 #DidYouKnow #50YearsOfField #TeamField #Fieldamentals
