Another year has gone by, and we would like to thank everyone who has supported Lakeside Construction Fasteners in 2016. With 16 Distribution Centers, LCF products are now in 600+ locations across the USA, Canada, and in the Caribbean.

The market continues to utilize the many LCF fastener-foam products that are designed for the Metal Building Industry. Lakeside Construction Fasteners provides many alternative metal building component solutions! This would not be possible without the positive feedback we have received from many roll-formers, builders, and distributors who were involved with the innovation process at LCF. Our Innovation and Design Team has a saying, "If you don't innovate then others will imitate." As an industry fastener leader we choose to innovate with your support!

Through this premise every 4-6 months new fastener-foam products are developed and launched into the market through LCF Best Practices Methodology. This structure focuses on customer needs above all else. It is grounded in five core elements: 1) understanding market/industry changes, then adapt to those changes, 2) establishing pre & post measurements to gauge what works and what does not, 3) fast-tracking product wins and duplicating them rapidly where the competition can't match the same level of service, 4) be data-riven where needed but driven the common sense by listening to the customer, and finally 5) introduce lessons learned to create long-term solutions.
2017 will rush in new channels of growth opportunities for our customers as Partners in Profits through the new LCF TIGER-1 PROGRAM. Quicker product deliveries, enhanced sales programs and promotions, more container direct options, and developme nt of new products are a few advantages LCF customers will have growing revenues for their organization in 2017.

This will not be another "express program"(here today gone tomorrow program) that other competitors might offer in the marketplace. LCF believes in face-to-face service and offering programs that are not another "me too program." LCF TIGER-1 focuses on the individual customer presenting a road map for continued revenue growth!

Providing Alternative Fastener and Foam Solutions!™




New fasteners in 2017 include the ZMAX and SC STEEL GUARD Long-Life fasteners where the fastener heads are guaranteed not to Red Rust for the life of the metal panels. LCF is really excited about the SC STEEL GUARD as this has a 1/4 HWH, and is a fraction of the cost vs. a 5/16 HWH Long-Life fastener. LCF believes in providing a choice/solution for the metal building industry on all metal building components. If we don't have a requested product then LCF will find, design, or manufacture it. LCF is here to help!


Foam products, LCF will be introducing many new selections for ridge and hip applications. RIDGE-X VENT is one of those new products that is retail friendly and a low cost solution for many roll-formers and builders across the United States.
Lakeside Construction Fasteners looks forward to another strong year in 2017 with your support our customer. With 6 more distribution centers opening across the USA will continue to shorten lead-times, reduce working capital, and lower freight PPD amounts. Many more products will be launched in 2017 offering more solutions for the Metal Building Industry!
