 |
Fastenal knows how to get a hold on things. The company operates about 980 stores in 48 states, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Its stores stock about 195,000 products, including threaded fasteners such as screws, nuts, and bolts (which account for more than half of sales). Other sales come from power tools; metal-cutting tool blades; fluid-transfer parts for hydraulic and pneumatic power; janitorial, electrical, and welding supplies; and material handling items. Other companies make about 95% of Fastenal's products. Its customers typically come from the construction and manufacturing industries. Fastenal also sells through catalogs and its Web site. Minnesota state senator and CEO Bob Kierlin owns 10% of Fastenal.
