International Requests

Since our founding in 1967, Fastenal has always believed that great customer service begins with having people and products near the customers we serve. In recent years, this philosophy has led us to set up operations in hundreds of locations outside of the U.S. Our international facilities are strategically located to serve existing customers with global operations as well as the local customer base.

We have earned our customers’ trust by developing strong partnerships based on providing quality parts and competitive pricing, while driving cost savings and continuous improvement. Through our strategic supply programs, you can depend on consistently excellent service — locally, nationally, or globally — coordinated through a single, accountable point of contact. As Fastenal grows with our customers and the world economy, we’re continuing to expand our international presence and capabilities to support our customers’ OEM manufacturing and inventory control needs. We currently hold sales subsidiaries in over 20 countries with the ability to direct ship to many more.
