In Asia, Morito and Scovill Fasteners are combining their efforts and strengths under the new name Morito Scovill Hong Kong Company Limited.
“We’re excited to progress to the next level of our relationship with Morito in the US and Asia,” says Craig Stoudt, CEO of Scovill Fasteners. “Combining our strengths has allowed us to focus more on our customers and vendor partners to enhance our dedication and service.”
