Eric Lenz, President and Owner
Eric’s laser-focus on customer satisfaction and attention to detail, commitments shared by his team of professionals on both coasts, has earned the company the unparalleled loyalty of clients worldwide making E&T Fasteners the recognized leader in its field.
Eric grew up in Westchester County, New York and after his grandfather died moved with his family to California in 1978. After college, Eric worked with his mother in the company his grandfather founded learning every facet of the business and rapidly expanding the firm’s revenue and scope of operations. In 2005, he established his own firm, E&T Fasteners, with offices in California and North Carolina, where he moved with his family in 2006.
Eric is the grandson of Joseph Saks, a pioneering New York engineer who invented the concept of filling small-lot orders of customized special application fasteners to customers, large and small.
Eric lives with his wife Shondra in Davidson, NC. Their daughter, Sophie, is completing her academic studies in Boston. Their son, Noah, is working with his father to learn the fastener business and carry on the family tradition of great service.

“I started with this company in February of 2014 with minimal knowledge of the plastic industry, but completely intrigued by it! I mean…a plastic bolt? Coming from the Auto Industry, this had me fascinated. I love what I do and care deeply for the people in this industry that I have built relationships with. This company is amazing to work for!
