Since 1967 Fastenal has grown as a distributor of industrial and construction supplies from a single branch to approximately 3,000 servicing locations, each providing tailored local inventory and personal service for our customers. As we've expanded across the world, we've retained a core belief in people and their ability to accomplish remarkable things - if given the opportunity. From this philosophy stems an entrepreneurial culture that challenges every employee to run their own business, create their own success, and advance to become company leaders.

Backed by our global sourcing, quality, and logistics operations, each branch is a local, one-stop source for a spectrum of OEM, MRO and Construction supplies.

Fastenal Company founder Bob Kierlin put the company's basic principles into words that would communicate our goal to new personnel. His beliefs were centered around four words: Growth Through Customer Service.

Working within our decentralized environment, branch personnel take a flexible approach to support local customers – sourcing products, making emergency deliveries, managing a lean flow of inventory to points of use, and leveraging our services, solutions and specialists to drive continual business improvements.

Local product and local people: these are the cornerstones of our value proposition. So when you hear us talk about our thousands of branches, remember that we're not talking about how big we are; we're talking about how local we are. And that's what Fastenal is all about – using our corporate resources to be the best local supplier in every market we serve.
