MARKETING MASTERS

Based near Seattle in Issaquah, Washington, Marketing Masters is a leading OEM of composite clip nuts and composite inserts for aerospace and other industrial applications. Marketing Masters' history began in the aerospace industry. Our products are used by many major domestic and international commercial airlines, aerospace OEMs, prime contractors, suppliers, and MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) providers. These companies use our unique Torlon® clip nuts and fasteners to replace traditional metal fasteners and clips in a number of applications, including seat tracks, airframe structures, and honeycomb sandwich wall and floor panels in commercial aircrafts. Today, we have expanded well beyond aerospace. Our Torlon® clip nuts and Torlon® inserts are used in a wide variety of industries, including electronics, construction, recreation, and transportation and vehicle manufacturing, particularly boats and RVs. Engineers around the world have integrated Marketing Masters' composite fasteners into myriad other applications, as well. Because we use Torlon® exclusively as our manufacturing material, our clip nuts and inserts provide a number of advantages over similar products made from steel or titanium. Marketing Masters' Torlon components are stronger and lighter than metal ones, and thanks to greater corrosion and chemical resistance, they need to be replaced less often, saving money in repair costs. Our composite clip nuts and composite inserts are generally less expensive, as well, making them the most economic choice available. Due to the complexity of molding and curing Torlon®, very few companies have the knowledge, experience, or capabilities to work with this unique material. After 25-plus years in the industry, Marketing Masters is still the only company in the world manufacturing Torlon® non-metallic fasteners as a standard for OEMs like Boeing and Airbus. Torlon® has replaced steel and titanium to become the new material standard. Marketing Masters' use of this truly revolutionary material gives us a distinct competitive advantage. We provide our composite components for both new manufacturing projects and as aftermarket replacement parts. Our business originally operated as two separate companies: Advanced Engineered Products (AEP) and Marketing Masters. In September 2002, the companies merged into Marketing Masters as we know it today. We continue to use AEP part numbers to identify many of our products.
