D certification recently, two years of its original QMS certification, in March 2018. Pushing forward during the month of August 2018, Parker Fasteners also became ITAR registered.

Within those five months, Parker Fasteners maintained monthly plant meetings, employee of the month rewards, hired 6 employees, gave out 2 bonus checks, had a Dave & Busters Christmas Party, took an entire week off and managed a profit for the end of the year to cap it off.
