“On behalf of everyone at Active Sales, we are excited to begin our next chapter as part of the LINC organization,” said Craig Russell, CEO and president of Active Sales. “Together with LINC, we will be positioned to continue to offer a strong portfolio of brands, quick turn fulfillment, and most importantly, an unmatched commitment to customer service.”

Ted Azar, CEO of LINC Systems, said, “Active Sales has been a reliable supplier of a full range of fasteners, fastening equipment, and packaging supplies to its customers for over 70 years. The acquisition of Active Sales is an important step in building a leading, nationwide industrial fastener and packaging distribution platform.”
