After completing a digital transformation, I'm providing ongoing Technology & Supply Chain senior management for a PE owned manufacturer, Big Bolt Corporation.They are the Mid-West’s largest and most capable fastener manufacturer, supplying and producing a wide range of bolts, nuts, rods, screws, studs, washers, and custom fasteners for various industries and applications. As a fastener supplier, Big Bolt is equipped to handle rush manufacturing, low-volume orders, gap buys, prototypes, and service parts with next-day delivery and quality assurance. Big Bolt also offers in-house threading, machining, and testing capabilities to meet customer specifications and deadlines. Big Bolt is committed to providing fast, reliable, and innovative solutions for any fastener needs.Our state-of-the-art 110,000 square foot facility houses more than 12 CNC machines, along with the supporting tools and equipment needed to effectively manufacture our products in-house. From our most massive bolts to our smallest fasteners.And quality is paramount. Our plating, heating and testing capabilities ensure our products meet the most rigorous industry standards. We can produce a number of product certifications and have 20 full-time employees in our Quality Control Department alone.Plus, our broad range of inventory goes well beyond bolts. We maintain a large stock of raw material, heat-treated blanks, and pre-finished products so we can quickly fulfill emergency orders — even on the same day.

I've given up trying to describe what Guideantz does, because it's getting crazy out there. So here's what we don't do.We don't B.S. to make money. There's a tsunami of it available elsewhere if you need some.We don't believe a security standard or compliance will save you. If it did, the government wouldn't be trying to figure out who's been reading its email.We don't think more technology makes you more secure (it might actually make you less secure). That's why huge tech companies who had all the answers are falling like dominos against the constant onslaught of attacks and the rest of us just seem to get caught in the middle.We don't think people are your biggest risk. Honestly. They aren't.We don't believe you when you say you can't find your important data, or keep a basic inventory of your stuff or know when someone is doing something weird. We know it sucks getting it done, but so does getting mugged and not knowing you just got taken or even what they stole.And we don't think you should trust anyone. Because unconsidered trust got us into this mess. Seriously. So you can ignore everything we just told you we don't do and make up your own mind if you want to talk to us.
