Tower Fasteners “Comes Home” To Dublin With Its First European Distribution Center
Tower Fasteners is proud to announce the opening of its first European distribution center in Dublin, Ireland. Tower Fasteners EU Ltd is located less than 30 minutes outside of Dublin’s city center and will serve as Tower’s European headquarters. The 1,000-square-foot distribution hub will offer Tower’s full line of fasteners, electronic hardware and inventory management solutions. A mirror image of existing branches, Tower Fasteners EU will specialize in local customer service, outside sales, managed inventory services, and the same product offerings and quality standards offered at its eight North American distribution centers.
The Dublin facility has been open since July 1, 2018 under a soft opening with the official opening date being September 25, 2018. Tower will hold a small grand opening event on that day that will include several members of the Shannon family, who have owned and operated Tower Fasteners since 1967. Mark Shannon, Managing Director of Tower Fasteners EU, and Mark’s mother, Jane Shannon, wife of the late Thomas Shannon who originally founded Tower more than 50 years ago will be on site. Since Mrs. Shannon emigrated from Ireland to the United States in the 1950s, this Dublin facility’s opening is a large source of pride to her and the rest of the Shannon family.
