Our sister company, Abbott Metal Werks, runs domestic CNC machining, Swiss Screw, and cold-formed production right here in the U.S.
We don\'t just sell fasteners. We engineer solutions.
We\'re entering our next chapter and looking for a sales leader who wants to build something, not just manage it.
The Role
You will own the commercial strategy for Abbott Interfast. This is not a figurehead position. You will set the direction, build the team, and drive revenue across our OEM, distributor, and end-user channels.
Develop and execute a national sales strategy across all channels
Build, lead, and mentor a high-performing sales organization
Identify and capture growth across our diversified OEM customer base spanning 30+ industries

Partner with Abbott Metal Werks to grow our domestic manufacturing pipeline
Represent Abbott at industry events, trade shows, and with key accounts
What We\'re Looking For
10+ years in fastener or industrial distribution sales, with 5+ in senior leadership
Proven track record of building sales teams and scaling revenue
Deep knowledge of the fastener industry: products, applications, supply chain
Experience selling into OEM, distributor, and project-based channels
Strong commercial instincts: pricing, margin, competitive positioning
Entrepreneurial mindset. You want to write the playbook, not follow one.
Willingness to travel as needed (30-40%)
Nice to Have
Relationships across the fastener and industrial distribution landscape
Experience with domestic manufacturing sales (CNC, cold forming, Swiss Screw)
Background selling into diverse industrial sectors: energy, solar, automotive, construction, electronics, agriculture, and more
Familiarity with Salesforce or modern CRM platforms
Benefits
Health, dental, and vision insurance
401(k)
Paid time off and holidays
Opportunities for professional growth and advancement
Why Abbott Interfast?
78-year legacy with the agility of a privately held company
Domestic manufacturing capability through Abbott Metal Werks
Diversified customer base across 30+ industries -- stability and growth
Direct access to ownership. No layers. No red tape.
Competitive base + performance-based compensation
Build your vision. This role has real authority and real impact.
This isn\'t a job where you inherit a playbook. It\'s where you write one.
Abbott Interfast is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion. We encourage applications from all qualified individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or any other protected class recognized by applicable laws.
