Mr Metric Is Closing

Post by rwtucker »

I just received this notice. I'm sure our Diamond fasteners will still be available but this might be an opportunity to bid on some bulk inventory. These guys were good.
Thank you for your continued support of Mr. Metric. After more than 35 years in the specialty metric fastener business, we’ve decided to close the operation. Mr. Metric has operated as a department within Mountz, Inc. since its acquisition. Please note - Mountz, Inc., is not closing operations. In fact and quite to the contrary, we are expanding, and discontinuing our metric products business is a strategic decision. I’d like to let you know our time line so you have ample time to secure alternate supply.

Date Action
2/23/18 - No orders for inventory. Sales will be from existing inventories or purchased from our suppliers. Lead-times for fulfillment will be dictated by our supply chain.
2/28/18 - Walk-up retail window at 1080 N. 11th St., San Jose will cease operations.
5/01/18 - Last day for our customers to place orders for product not in stock.
5/31/18 - Last day any orders will be accepted.
6/15/18 - Last day for will-call pick-up.

We have also prepared a select list of the inventory we have on hand. We welcome any bids to purchase this inventory. This list can be accessed by clicking on the following link. We will do our best to update the list weekly and all offers will be subject to prior sale.

Again, thank you for your support of Mr. Metric.

With best regards,
Brad Mountz
President and CEO
Mountz, Inc. (Parent of Mr. Metric)
