E-Z LOK hires Northstar Sales & Marketing
E-Z LOK has hired NorthStar Sales & Marketing to be its new sales representative firm. Located in Middleburg, Florida, they're an integrated fastener representative, covering the Southeastern U.S. territory.
Mickey Matheny, the company’s president and owner, has 50 years of experience in the fastener industry. His first job was at Allied International, an importer of fasteners in Rye, New York. For 10 years, he served as the company’s Southeastern sales manager. The next nine years were spent as the director of the mill division at Heads and Threads International, a global importer and master distributor of industrial fasteners and related products.
Matheny has been an independent manufacturing agent for 31 years, establishing NorthStar Sales & Marketing in 2009. In 2024, he received the Independent Fastener Rep of the Year award from WorldWide Fastenersources.com.
Covering Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, Matheny will sell all of E-Z LOK’s products. His responsibilities include calling on clients in the region and providing training and mutual sales opportunities.
“We want to continue to grow in the Southeast and expand business with both new and existing distributors in the area," said E-Z LOK Director of Sales and Marketing Kyle Lindsly-Roach. Mickey’s decades long involvement in the fastener industry in that territory makes him a great fit.”
