AFIXX Alliance

What AFIXX Alliance does

AFIXX Alliance is a U.S.-based B2B distributor of fasteners and related assembly hardware, operating exclusively through an approved-distributor network accessed via its afixx.com e-commerce storefront. The product line spans rivets and rivet nuts (Blind, Closed End, Multigrip, Structural, Q-FIXX, T-FIXX variants), cable ties, wedge-locking washers (Sherex TEC Series), wire thread inserts (Powercoil, Loksert), specialty and socket screws (Camcar, Optia), adhesives/chemicals/cleaners, hand and air tools, keystock/keys, and backup washers. The proprietary AFIXX sub-brand (rivets and rivet nuts) anchors the catalog; the remaining SKU breadth is supplied through carried partnerships with Sherex, Powercoil/Bordo, Camcar, and Optia. Two physical branches — a California headquarters (15368 El Prado Rd., Chino) and an Indiana operations-support site — support a stated national U.S. distributor base, with the website listing broader geographies (North America, APAC, EU, LATAM, South Asia) that suggest limited current international activity.

The business model is single-revenue-stream distribution: one-time product sales of fasteners to approved distributors, with pricing not publicly disclosed and accessible only after account login. GTM is exclusively channel-based (approved-distributor network), supported by an INxSQL-powered transactional e-commerce site and positioning built around a "Stock, Service, and Support" promise. The company is a division of Pacific Warehouse Sales (the strategic parent), privately held with no disclosed external investors, and has no management team, revenue, or headcount disclosures in the public record. No API, AI/ML, or data-product capabilities are present; the technology layer is standard B2B commerce infrastructure rather than a differentiated platform.

Evidence gaps materially limit the depth of this analysis: there are no disclosed financials, no executive bios, no funding history, no M&A activity, no certifications or compliance attestations, and no patent portfolio. AFIXX Alliance should be evaluated as a small, privately-held industrial fastener house whose primary differentiation is its proprietary AFIXX sub-brand and a U.S. dual-coast distribution footprint under the umbrella of Pacific Warehouse Sales.
