Interchange Brands

Interchange Brands was founded in 1982 with the idea of selling generic nails and staples, and rapidly became the largest suppler of interchangeable fasteners in the country. At the time of its inception, generic sources were very fragmented, and to a great extent, involved importing the fasteners from France, Germany and other European countries. Hence, very few fasteners were available generically. Additionally, some nails were covered by patents and others were protected because of the uniqueness of their collation.
