Fastener distribution and engineered assembly solutions for automotive, industrial, and construction
EFC International is a 40-year-old fastener and engineered components distributor serving three core verticals: automotive, industrial, and construction. The company is hiring across sales (majority of open roles) and operations, with an active M&A pipeline and inventory modernization underway—suggesting consolidation activity and internal process scaling. Their tech stack is enterprise-grade (SAP, Azure, Cisco Meraki, Zscaler) but shows no recent platform migrations, indicating maturity rather than aggressive modernization.
EFC International specializes in sourcing and distributing fasteners, retainers, and specialty engineered components for automotive, industrial, and construction customers. Founded in 1983 and headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, the company operates as a technical distributor with engineering support capabilities and a global manufacturing network backing its inventory. The business spans procurement, logistics, quality assurance, and local customer support. The organization currently employs 51–200 people and is actively expanding sales and operations capacity.
EFC uses SAP for ERP, Microsoft 365 and Office for productivity, Azure for cloud infrastructure, Cisco Meraki for networking, and Zscaler for security. Infrastructure runs on Dell hardware with VMware virtualization and Windows 11 endpoints managed via Active Directory.
Active challenges include M&A integration planning, inventory discrepancies and slow-moving stock management, process automation, competitive pricing accuracy, and customer delivery performance. Current projects center on inventory planning, KPI dashboards, and PPAP documentation.
