Creating a new legacy from a known name, Jeff and Marsha Libla have recently acquired the assets of Fuzion Fasteners from Hahn Systems. The Libla family is well-known for its involvement in the development and growth of Mid-Continent Nail. The new company, Legacy Fasteners LLC, will produce nails in Poplar Bluff, Missouri.
Until recently, Marsha oversaw customer service and inside sales at Mid-Continent while Jeff, general manager, was responsible for all purchasing, production and shipping. The assets of Fuzion include complete nail manufacturing equipment that were previously located in Greensburg, Indiana and have been relocated to Missouri and are already producing nails.
Marsha explained how the transaction arose. She recalled, “It all happened very suddenly when we learned of the opportunity. Jeff brings his manufacturing expertise to help fix a few manufacturing challenges that had challenged Fuzion. And I bring years of experience working with the pallet industry in sales and customer service.”
The new company will operate under the Legacy Fasteners brand and will keep production in the United States. Mike Sheehan, sales manager, will stay on with the company to oversee sales and customer support. Legacy is currently ramping up production in its new facility and is taking customer orders.
Marsha said, “All of our nails are produced in America, which keeps jobs in the United States and supports domestic manufacturing. That is important to the success of the U.S. pallet industry, and it will be critical for our success.”
She added, “When you buy Legacy, you buy American.”
Why Legacy? Marsha explained, “My family has a long relationship with pallet manufacturing from our days as a pallet manufacturer. We know what it takes to produce quality pallets, and it starts with the right nail. We are bringing our expertise to ensure that Legacy Fasteners is among the finest pallet nails available.”
The company will specialize in machine quality bulk nails, 15 degree small coil, and 15 degree highload nails. It will also offer a pneumatic tools and service as well.
