January 28, 2005

ELMSFORD NY Screws and More (SAM), an Elmsford based fastener and building material distributor looks to expand its product line and customer base with the recent addition of Allen Guippone as partner. SAM has enjoyed success with loyal clientele since 1970. Together, owner Andis Woodlief and Guippone will serve a broader market.

Guippone joins SAM with a proven record in construction distribution. He has been Product and Sales director for such commercial construction giant’s as Tremco Incorporated and Marjam Supply Company. He is well respected in the industry and has been instrumental in adding direct sources of supply for SAM that will promote growth and development in these markets.

Woodlief purchased Northeastern Screw and Bolt Corp in 1998 from the estate of her father Samuel Silverman. The name was changed to SAM in honor of its founder. Faced with challenges in a changing market , she successfully diversified the company with certification as a Women Business Enterprise (WBE) and entrance into the male dominated construction industry.

The mission of this partnership is to expand SAM’s market presence and product offerings to new customers while increasing its value to existing clients. Screws and More is well known for it’s commitment to quality and service.

The addition of Guippone as partner provides the depth to expand this family business as it evolves in a more global market place.
