With more than 70 cold forming machines, our Holo-Krome team produces up to 30 million fasteners manufactured in the U.S. Department of State every week. Fastenal is an industrial distributor primarily serving manufacturing and construction customers in North America. As a Fastener Supplier near Charlotte NC, the company stands out among large distributors thanks to its roots in the complex distribution of fasteners, its local density and scale, and its obsession with being closer to customers. Fastenal distributes a complete line of industrial products through its 12 distribution centers, and offers an internal manufacturing division and an engineering and product quality control department.
Our products include industrial fasteners, bolts, fasteners, adhesives and more. Fastenal, the largest distributor of fasteners in North America, also has a strong global manufacturing operation, offering its customers custom-made products. When it first opened its doors in 1967, Fastenal was the smallest of the estimated 10,000 fastener dealers in the United States at the time. Founded in the late 1960s, Fastenal opened its first branch in the small town of Winona, Minnesota, and distributed threaded fasteners to companies in other nearby small cities.
Fastenal's Asian trading company, Fastenal Asian Sourcing and Trading Co, is a wholly foreign-owned company located in Shanghai (China), where it manages supply and import purchasing activities. Until 1993, Fastenal was exclusively dedicated to the distribution of fasteners (bolts, nuts, screws, studs, washers, pins and other accessories) to customers in the industrial and commercial construction sector. For the first time, Fastenal primarily sold fastening elements, such as screws, threaded rods and nuts, which are used in construction and manufacturing.
