Mission & Vision
Mission
To strengthen the fastener industry by providing meaningful education, fostering professional connections, and supporting the growth and success of its members.
Vision
To be a nationally respected fastener association recognized for industry leadership, collaboration, and strong Mid-west roots.
Education
The MWFA hosts a minimum of four educational events each year, delivered through expert-led seminars and member-hosted plant tours. We believe education is invaluable—because knowledge creates opportunity, and opportunity drives success.
In addition to professional development, the MWFA proudly supports higher education through annual college and trade school scholarships. To date, the Association has awarded over $1 million in scholarships to members, their children, and their spouses. These scholarships are made possible through the generosity of member and industry donations, along with proceeds from our hosted events.
