Industrial Distribution Platform Strengthens Presence in the Northwest
Westfield, IN-based LINC Systems has added a new geographical foothold via an acquisition in Washington state.
Fasteners and industrial supplies distributor announced Oct. 10 that it has purchased Allied Fastening Supply — a 30-year-old company operating from Vancouver, WA.
About Allied Fasteners

The company began as a Duo-Fast distributor and has evolved as a key distributor for Senco, Bostitch, Paslode, Metabo and other leading brand tools. Along with its sales operations, retail location and distribution center, Allied has a comprehensive service center capable of repairing most major brand pneumatic tools.
“This acquisition aligns perfectly with our growth objectives and strengthens our ability to serve our customers more quickly and grow our market faster,” LINC CEO Mick Beyer said. “Allied Fastening Supply has built a reputation for excellence in the industry, and we are confident that their expertise and resources will be a valuable addition to our team. This expansion not only increases our market reach but also underscores our commitment to providing top-notch solutions to our clients.”
It’s LINC’s first bolt-on since it added New Jersey-based CORUS Fastening in November 2024, and ninth deal since 2010. Founded in 1995, LINC has been owned by Center Rock Capital Partners since 2018.
