E-Z LOK, a leading manufacturer and master distributor of threaded inserts for metal, plastic and wood, announced their director of sales and marketing, Kyle Lindsly-Roach, obtained the Certified Fastener Specialist™ (CFS) designation. Lindsly-Roach completed his certification at the Fastener Training Institute in Glendale, California.
Developed in 1998 with guidance from the International Fastener Institute, the CFS advanced technical training program is the most noteworthy measurement of technical aptitude for fastener professionals. With more than 1,400 alumni of the CFS program, the Fastener Training Institute has helped professionals and businesses nationwide advance the fastener and manufacturing industries by improving safety and championing professional development.
Lindsly-Roach participated in the CFS program because he wanted to further his education on the technical side of fastener related products. To receive the designation, participants must complete seven full-day training sessions or a weeklong intensive Fastener Training Week program (offered throughout the year) and pass a final exam. Classes feature topics such as fastener specifications/terminology, dimensional/material specifications, the bolted joint, quality assurance and testing. Furthermore, the intensive training also includes plant tours.
“This certification helps me be a more complete technical resource to our team at E-Z LOK on a variety of fastener related topics,” said Lindsly-Roach. “It was also a great opportunity to network with like-minded individuals and companies in the fastener industry.”
