Fastenal Co. began in Minnesota in 1967 and has grown into the largest fastener distributor in the world, with over 2,300 locations. Fastenal also carries more than fifteen different categories of industrial and construction supplies, from abrasives to hydrolics, welding materials, HVAC and janitorial supplies. Fastenal says if it doesn't have the tool you need, it'll make it at its regional distribution center. Fastenal Racing is a spinoff project in which the company is a Nascar team sponsor in the National Series.
