Wayne Wishnew will be inducted into the Mid-West Fastener Association Hall of Fame.

He began his fastener career 47 years ago at XL Screw, starting in the warehouse before moving into inventory control on the advice of MWFA Hall of Famer Bob Sachs. His hard work propelled him to VP.

“When customers have a need, they don’t call XL Screw—they call Wayne,” Sachs explained.

Wishnew’s contributions to the fastener industry extend beyond XL Screw. He has been a leader within the MWFA—serving as President, VP, and on nearly every committee, including 14 years on the Scholarship Committee.

“His commitment, humor, and leadership have left a lasting mark on our association.”

Wishnew will be honored at MWFA’s Dinner Meeting on November 13 in Elk Grove Village, IL. Register here.
