Davis Family – Fastener Minute or Two…

 Hall of Fame Spotlight: Joe L. Davis Jr., Founder and CEO, ISSCO, INC.

The Mid-West Fastener Association is honoring the memory of ISSCO's founder, Joe L. Davis Jr.  Joe began his fastener career in 1963 at Kansas City Bolt, then moved into outside sales at Bosco Bolt, Nut and Screw. When his salary was cut and commissions eliminated, Joe and his wife Margaret founded ISSCO, INC. on April 1, 1974, from the basement of their Independence, Missouri home.

Fifty years later, and we are still operating with the same top standards that Joe instilled - high service, product availability, and deep relationships. Joe always put employees first from day one, mentoring many along the way, and was an early champion of the CBSNA/MWFA.

Mr. Jake Davis, Joe's son and current ISSCO President, is proud to celebrate Joe's legacy and induction at the FSTNR Week 80th Anniversary Celebration & Hall of Fame Dinner on September 2nd. We hope to see you at FSTNR Week!

Managing fastener inventory can be time-consuming and costly. Between placing purchase orders, monitoring stock levels, and dealing with unexpected shortages, your team may spend valuable time on inventory management instead of focusing on production and growth. That's where ISSCO's Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) program makes a difference.

What is Vendor Managed Inventory?

Vendor Managed Inventory is a collaborative inventory management solution where ISSCO monitors and maintains your fastener inventory based on your historical usage and production needs. Together, we'll establish the appropriate inventory levels to keep on-site and at our warehouse, ensuring the products you need are available when you need them.

ISSCO is honored to be a sponsor of yet another bed build, Dream of Champions! This one is with our fellow Mahomies and KC!

Join Sleep in Heavenly Peace to build 150 beds for kiddos in our community who do not have a bed of their own to sleep in and otherwise sleep in unfavorable conditions. This event is generously sponsored by 15 and the Mahomies, T-Mobile, ISSCO INC and Journey International Church!

Half of ISSCO's team headed out on this warm July day to prepare and distribute lunches to families across Lee's Summit. Coldwater of Lee's Summit is a great organization allowing us to give back together as a team! The other half of the team is serving lunch in a few weeks, so stay tuned.
