Industrial Distribution Magazine
I just read a news release that Reed Business Information is closing down its publication of the magazine Industrial Distribution. Please, anyone with more information out there please let me know if I have this wrong. If this is true, I'm very disappointed. This was a decent magazine and I always enjoyed their publication of the top 50 Industrial Distributors. Like I've said before, I wish such a list existed in the fastener industry.
You know what? Maybe that will be a Fastener Talk exclusive. Maybe I'll track down the sales figures for all the largest fastener companies I can think of and print a list. Hey, if anybody has that info, please send it to me and you will save me a whole lot of time.

Hey TS,
That magazine was a good one, but just not keeping up with the times I guess. These days it's all about niche and incorporating the internet, which they didn't do particularly well. Sure, if you signed up with your email address they could spam with the best of them
As far as your aspirations for a fastener industry roundup - I found a site that has a report on the industry and you can buy the whole thing for a mere $4,600. They do show a summary right here that includes a list of fastener companies. Maybe you can start with that list and look them up for your Fastener Talk Top 50.
