Although manufacturing fasteners is an established industry, Cardinal Fastener has found ways to constantly innovate everything from production to team communication. In 1998, we began our lean journey and created a unique company culture. We strive to work in a waste-free environment that is productive, continuously improving and open to the entrepreneurial spirit.
From Cardinal’s same day manufacturing and its unique
Birdie Chart, to its proprietary manufacturing processes, the company is a recognized leader in the fastener industry. When you join the Cardinal team, you can be proud of what you do.
Red Carpet Tour
Take a Cardinal “red carpet” tour, just like President Obama, and experience the enthusiasm our associates have for their work. At Cardinal, we hire for attitude and train for aptitude. It makes a difference in team morale, and that has a direct impact on our ability to succeed and grow.
We’re a team dedicated to the customer. Principles such as cross training, teamwork and innovation are not just buzzwords – they’re our way of life. Our associates are proud that our products are made with American steel and used in the most demanding applications. That’s why we say, “When it’s Critical…it’s Cardinal”.
Community Outreach
Cardinal is committed to supporting the local community whenever possible. Here are just some of the worthwhile organizations we support:
Adopt-a-Troop
We’re proud to support the hardworking men and women of the United States Armed Forces. That’s why Cardinal has “adopted” platoons now stationed in Iraq and Korea by writing to them, supplying some of their essentials and sending extra goodies from home. It’s our small way of saying thanks to those that sacrifice so much for their country and our freedom.
United Way
Through associate and company match contributions, Cardinal donates every year to this organization. United Way advances the common good by improving education, helping people achieve financial stability and promoting healthy lives. Those are accomplishments well worth our support.
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (JDRF)
Cardinal’s president, John Grabner, serves on the Development Committee for JDRF, which is the leading charitable funder and advocate of type 1 diabetes research worldwide. Here in Cleveland we support the Dream Gala that raises funds to find a cure.
Bedford Heights Community
In our Bedford Heights, Ohio home, we’ve raised funds and got other local businesses to help us build the FUNTOWN Playground, a green material, all-inclusive playground located near our facilities.
