History
The Fastenal story began in 1967 with the opening of the first store in Winona, Minnesota, by company founder, Bob Kierlin. The concept for Fastenal Company originated from Bob's idea to produce a vending machine that would provide nuts and bolts to customers. After surviving the typical struggles of a startup business during the first few years, Fastenal found its niche and took off. Since going public in 1987 with 50 stores and $30 million in sales, Fastenal has grown to over 2,160+ stores and $2 billion in annual sales.

Operations
Fastenal has strategically set up distribution centers and store locations close to our customers. Each distribution center services stores in an approximate 500-mile radius. Stores located within that radius are generally serviced by a single distribution center, but our inventory in excess of $504 million is available for transfer from any distribution center nationwide. By utilizing company-owned and operated semi-trucks and trailers, we are able to move product faster than any other distributor in the country, which allows our store inventory content to be tailored to the needs of local customers.

"Growth through customer service" is the principle that drives all employees at Fastenal. This fosters an atmosphere that is exciting and fast-paced, where decentralized decision-making and open communications are critical to achieving our mission. The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well at Fastenal. We encourage innovation, and ideas for new products and services usually come directly from our employees - the people who know our customers best.

Fastenal employees are invested in the business and have a direct impact on our customers everyday. This promotes pride and ownership and empowers employees to strive for leadership roles.

With continued growth in mind, we are actively recruiting people who understand that motivation and hard work are the keys to success.
