Thirty Years is a long time, and yet it seemed as if it was yesterday when I started the company in my garage so long ago. It was July 20th, 1987 and the time was ripe for this 29-year-old to strike out on his own path. I knew back then I was not made to work for others, I needed to work for myself, pave my own path and make my own decisions on how things are supposed to work. Building a lasting company is not easy. We went through at least 3 recessions IN THE PAST 30 YEARS, including the great one in 2009 that almost destroyed us. We started with one employee (Still with us today: Rick Gentry; then added another who is still here today: Stuart Zins. We have had at times as little as those 2 employees and up to 40 employees in 2005. Today we employ 26 people in two locations. We truly appreciate all of those who have stuck with us during the years, your contributions are innumerable to state here, but truly appreciated over the arc of time. The hard work and dedication you have for our company is why we continue to maintain our customer and vendor base over the past 30 years. All of us at Quickscrews are greatly appreciative of those special relationships with our 2 primary Screw vendors, who have been manufacturing our Quickscrews product line for 25 years. The consistency and quality of the Quickscrews product line is unmatched in the industry. No one EXCEPT Quickscrews can claim the mantle of superior quality; as we have set that standard and all others will be forced to match or exceed what we have done for the past 30 years. Lastly and of course most importantly I wish to thank our long time loyal customers. Many of you have been with us since the beginning, an outstanding mark of your own; to enable your companies to trust us to support your manufacturing or distribution facilities for 30 years is a great honor. We are so thankful of all our customers who have stood with us for a very long time. The friendships we have built, I will forever be grateful for.
