E-Z LOK Hires New Sales Representative



Mickey Matheny

E-Z LOK, a manufacturer and master distributor of threaded inserts for metal, plastic and wood, has hired a new sales representative firm. Located in Middleburg, FL, NorthStar Sales & Marketing is an integrated fastener representative, covering the Southeastern U.S. territory.

Mickey Matheny, the company's President/owner, studied business at Georgia State. With 50 years of experience in the fastener industry, Matheny's first job was at Allied International, an importer of fasteners in Rye, NY. 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 WorldWideFastenerSources.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.

Commenting on his hopes for this new hire, Kyle Lindsly-Roach, E-Z LOK Director of Sales & Marketing, said, "We want to continue to grow in the Southeast and expand business with new and existing distributors in the area. Mickey's decades long involvement in the fastener industry in that territory makes him a great fit."
