🌟 Celebrating 70 Years! Seventy years is a long time for any company to last — and a rarer thing still to do it well. What started on June 1, 1956, as Southern Duo-Fast in Birmingham, AL — founded by Bill Rue Sr. and B.R. Albright — has grown into a regional powerhouse serving over 15 states across the Southeast and beyond. Three generations of the Rue family have guided FSI from humble Alabama roots to a trusted name in power fastening and industrial packaging across the region. Seventy years of growth, innovation, and dedication — none of it possible without the trust and loyalty of our customers. Here's to making Year 71 the best one yet! 🎉
