Frank and Catherine Mitchell started Duo-Fast Maryland Co. shortly after the end of World War II, Catherine as the bookkeeper and Frank as the salesman. Our first office, a garage and basement with a 5-foot ceiling, was an end row house in downtown Baltimore.

Duo-Fast Maryland made steady growth and progress through the 1960’s with new markets opening for wood fabrication. But by the 1980’s in central Maryland, the manufacturing base was starting to decline with industry moving elsewhere, so the construction industry started to play a larger role in our growth. To adjust to the industry change, Mid-Atlantic Fasteners, as we are now called, started to represent the once competitive lines of product such as Senco, Hitachi and other brands.

Mid-Atlantic Fasteners today is a full-service wholesaler of construction, industrial and packaging products. Like our corporate partner, Carlson Systems, we are more than just a distributor. We provide service and parts on tools and machinery, regardless of where customers purchased their equipment. Sharing resources with Carlson Systems allows us to service customers outside of our traditional Mid-Atlantic territory, as well.
