FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Nominations Open for Prestigious Fastener Industry Awards
Las Vegas, NV — The International Fastener Expo proudly opens nominations for two of the most prestigious honors in the fastener industry: the Fastener Hall of Fame and the Young Fastener Professional of the Year Awards. These accolades celebrate individuals who have demonstrated outstanding contributions to the industry and continue to inspire excellence. Inductees will be recognized during a special awards ceremony at IFE 2025, taking place September 15-17at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
The Hall of Fame Award honors industry leaders who have made significant and lasting impacts on the fastener industry. These individuals are visionaries, inventors, educators, and business leaders who have driven innovation, fostered collaboration, and advanced the industry through their leadership and integrity.
The Young Fastener Professional of the Year Award shines a spotlight on the next generation of industry leaders. This award celebrates individuals aged 40 or younger who are making meaningful contributions to the fastener industry. These young professionals are recognized for their vision, leadership, and ability to unite the industry while promoting its importance to the broader business community.
“The Fastener Hall of Fame and Young Fastener Professional of the Year Awards represent the heart of what the fastener industry is all about—innovation, leadership, and a dedication to excellence,” said Morgan Wilson, IFE Show Director. “We’re honored to provide a platform to recognize and celebrate the incredible talent that continues to drive this industry forward.”
Both awards are judged based on merit rather than the number of nominations, and all submissions will remain eligible for consideration for four years. By nominating an exceptional individual, you can help honor their dedication and achievements while inspiring others to follow their path.
