March 19, 2015 | By Business Wire News
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.
Universal Fastener Outsourcing, LLC (UFO), celebrates NailScrew’s® 10th Anniversary with the launch of a new online digital catalog. WC Litzinger, UFO Managing Partner / Owner said, “We have reached many milestones while designing and manufacturing UFO Ballistic NailScrews® (BNS). The first couple of years everyone wanted to know if NailScrews® would really work in the tools they already owned; the second couple of years folks wanted to know if we could make NailScrews® that fit their particular application. Now, our customers just want to make sure we don’t run them out of NailScrews® because they will have to go back to manufacturing and assembling projects the old slow way.” BNS are available through the STAFDA distributors throughout North America.

In 2009, UFO received its first IAPMO ES Report #0133 for Subfloors and Shear Wall applications, recognized internationally by IBC and IRC. Approval Reports 2009 – 2016.

Jim Boyd, UFO Sales and Marketing VP / Owner said, “Everyone from professional manufacturing to weekend DIY’ers can select a UFO Ballistic NailScrew® that will fit their tools and finish the projects in no time. BNS Time studies consistently show up to 75 percent installation savings over bulk screws and 50 percent savings over collated screws, regardless of the application.”
Boyd concluded, “Future NailScrew® designs will continue to help Green manufacturing in North America. We hear many stories about crates and pallets being unscrewed and the wood being repurposed worldwide into houses, sheds and picture frames.
