Our story
A Gastonia institution since 1978.
QFAS was founded in Gastonia, NC in 1978 to serve the textile, manufacturing, and construction industries booming across the USA. Four decades later, the customers and industries have evolved — but our commitment hasn't.
Today we stock more than 30,000 fasteners and MRO products and serve manufacturers, fabricators, OEMs, contractors, utilities, and government agencies nationwide.
As a Certified Women-Owned Small Business, we help our customers satisfy diversity sourcing requirements while still getting the lead time, pricing, and technical know-how they need to keep production running.
