Aerospace expert Steve Graff to manage St. Louis office

Steve Graff of Ballwin, Missouri, has been named Atlantic Fasteners' Midwest sales manager for its aerospace division.

Graff joins Atlantic from MS Inserts and Fasteners Corp., a mil-spec fastener supplier headquartered in Torrance, California, where he served as St. Louis branch manager responsible for mil-spec fastener sales to aerospace subcontractors for the last seven years.

Previously, he spent 12 years with the former Pentacon, Inc., the aerospace fastener distributor headquartered in Chatsworth, CA.

"I've always been impressed with Steve's knowledge, energy and integrity, which is why I pursued him for this important expansion," notes Atlantic's aerospace division manager Marc Dionne who's known Graff for over 10 years. According to Dionne, Atlantic's aerospace sales have increased over 76% to date versus same period sales one year ago.

Graff will be based in Ballwin, 20 miles from St. Louis, where he lives with his wife and two children. He can be reached at 413-241-2256, 1-800-800-BOLT (2658) ext. 266, or sgraff@atlanticfasteners.com.
