CELEBRATING 50 YEARS
50 Years of Fasteners. 50 Years of Family. 50 Years of Relationships.
For 50 years, BMB Fasteners has been built on something that never goes out of style: treating people the right way.
Founded in 1976 by Larry Malone in West Paterson, New Jersey, BMB began as a small, family-owned fastener distribution business and has grown into a trusted supplier serving customers and industries throughout the United States. But while our products, capabilities, and reach have grown over the decades, one thing has never changed—the way we treat our customers. When you call BMB, you aren’t calling a large corporation and becoming just another account number. You’re talking to a member of our family. We take the time to listen, understand what you need, find the right solution, and make sure you receive the quality, value, and personal service you’ve come to expect from BMB. That’s the way we’ve always done business.
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
Larry Malone entered the fastener industry at just 16 years old. From those early beginnings, he spent decades learning the trade, building relationships, and developing a deep understanding of the fastener business. In 1976, Larry took that experience and founded BMB Fasteners in West Paterson, New Jersey.What started as a small operation grew through hard work, dedication, and a simple philosophy: take care of your customers, stand behind what you sell, and treat people like family. Over the years, BMB established itself as a trusted supplier to a wide range of industries, including military and aerospace, manufacturing, and countless other businesses that depend on quality fasteners and dependable service. For us, every customer mattered—and still does.
THE NEXT GENERATION
In the late 1990s, a young Jay Minichino entered the picture. As a teenager, Jay began working alongside Larry, learning the fastener business firsthand. Larry didn’t just teach Jay about fasteners; he passed along decades of knowledge about customers, vendors, products, relationships, and what it truly means to run a family business. Jay took that knowledge and built upon it. As BMB entered the new millennium, Jay began expanding the company’s reach into industries that had never been part of BMB’s traditional business. Among them was the display and POP industry, along with numerous other markets. That versatility opened new doors for BMB and helped transform the company into a more diverse supplier capable of serving customers across a much broader range of industries. Throughout the years, Larry and Jay continued working side-by-side, growing the business while protecting the values that made BMB special in the first place. Growth was important—but never at the expense of family, relationships, or customer service.
2026: 50 YEARS
& NEW CHAPTER
Today, BMB Fasteners proudly celebrates 50 years in business. For a small, family-owned company, reaching this milestone is something we don’t take for granted. It’s a testament to the customers who have trusted us, the vendors who have supported us, and the people who have dedicated their careers to building BMB into what it is today.
In 2026, Jay Minichino proudly took the reins of BMB, carrying the company into its next chapter while bringing the next generation of his own family into the business. And the future is bigger than ever.
FROM THE NORTHEAST
TO THE SOUTHEAST
As BMB continues to grow, we’ve expanded beyond our original New Jersey home. Our headquarters in Wilmington, North Carolina proudly serves customers throughout the Southeast, while our original New Jersey location continues to serve the Northeast. With two strategically located facilities, BMB is positioned to efficiently serve customers throughout major markets across the East Coast. And while our geographic reach has expanded, our approach hasn’t changed. Our North Carolina operation is led by Jay and his family, with the next generation actively involved in the day-to-day operations of the business.
Meanwhile, back where it all began in New Jersey, longtime BMB team members Don and Sandra Limey continue to proudly operate the original location. Don and Sandra have been part of the BMB family for more than 20 years. Their dedication, loyalty, and commitment to our customers represent exactly what BMB stands for. They continue to serve the customers who have known and trusted the BMB name for decades—and we’re incredibly proud to have them representing our company in the market where our story began.
