About Abbott Interfast

For 78 years, Abbott Interfast has been a trusted name in fasteners. We are a full-line manufacturer and distributor with an incredibly diversified OEM customer base spanning more than 30 industries. Our sister company, Abbott Metal Werks, runs domestic CNC machining, Swiss Screw, and cold-formed production right here in the U.S.

We don't just sell fasteners. We engineer solutions.

We're entering our next chapter and looking for a sales leader who wants to build something, not just manage it.

The Role

You will own the commercial strategy for Abbott Interfast. This is not a figurehead position. You will set the direction, build the team, and drive revenue across our OEM, distributor, and end-user channels.

• Develop and execute a national sales strategy across all channels
• Build, lead, and mentor a high-performing sales organization
• Identify and capture growth across our diversified OEM customer base spanning 30+ industries
• Own pricing strategy, margin management, and key account relationships
• Work directly with ownership to shape company direction
• Partner with Abbott Metal Werks to grow our domestic manufacturing pipeline
• Represent Abbott at industry events, trade shows, and with key accounts

Requirements

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years in fastener or industrial distribution sales, with 5+ in senior leadership
• Proven track record of building sales teams and scaling revenue
• Deep knowledge of the fastener industry: products, applications, supply chain
• Experience selling into OEM, distributor, and project-based channels
• Strong commercial instincts: pricing, margin, competitive positioning
• Entrepreneurial mindset. You want to write the playbook, not follow one.
• Willingness to travel as needed (30-40%)

Nice to Have

• Relationships across the fastener and industrial distribution landscape
• Experience with domestic manufacturing sales (CNC, cold forming, Swiss Screw)
• Background selling into diverse industrial sectors: energy, solar, automotive, construction, electronics, agriculture, and more
• Familiarity with Salesforce or modern CRM platforms

Benefits

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k)
• Paid time off and holidays
• Opportunities for professional growth and advancement

Why Abbott Interfast?

• 78-year legacy with the agility of a privately held company
• Domestic manufacturing capability through Abbott Metal Werks
• Diversified customer base across 30+ industries -- stability and growth
• Direct access to ownership. No layers. No red tape.
• Competitive base + performance-based compensation
• Build your vision. This role has real authority and real impact.

This isn't a job where you inherit a playbook. It's where you write one.
