In plain English
Fastenal is the company that keeps factories and construction sites running. It buys nuts, bolts, safety gear and tools from thousands of manufacturers, holds them in a dense network of distribution centres, branches and — increasingly — vending machines and stocking bins placed right inside the customer's plant (Onsite + FMI), and sells them on. Its edge is logistics and presence, not products: it embeds itself in the customer's supply chain so reordering becomes automatic.
