National Accounts

 

Fastenal’s National Account Department serves our largest customers like they are an extension of our own supply chain. We leverage our purchasing, distribution, logistics and vendor managed inventory solutions to create a lean environment that reduces total cost of ownership and drives documented cost savings.

With nearly 2,700 locations and counting, Fastenal is the largest branch-based industrial supply distributor in North America. What many people don’t know is that these branches were not established as part of a national retail merchandising model. Rather, they are the natural evolution of Fastenal’s organic growth – the effect of driving deeper and deeper into the service of Fortune 500 corporations and other national account customers whose service needs necessitated local branch locations across the country. The result: today we’re able to provide local service to virtually every current or potential customer site on the continent.

Unique to Fastenal is the desire to customize local inventory (at the branch and, by extension, via vending and vendor managed solutions) to leverage Fastenal’s powerhouse procurement and distribution systems to our customers’ competitive advantage. Same-day delivery combined with committed local employees is how we serve our national account customers better than the competition.
