Mission As we've expanded across the world, we've retained a core belief in people and their ability to accomplish remarkable things. From this philosophy stems an entrepreneurial culture that challenges every employee to run their own business, create their own success, and rise up to become company leaders.
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.
Description Backed by our global sourcing, quality, and logistics operations, each Fastenal branch is a local, one-stop source for a spectrum of OEM, MRO and Construction supplies.
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 3,000+ servicing locations, remember that we're not talking about how big we are; we're talking about how local we are. That's what Fastenal is all about – using our corporate resources to be the best local supplier in every market we serve.
