In addition, we own 147 buildings that house our branch locations in various cities throughout North America.

All other buildings we occupy are leased. On average, leased locations range from approximately 3,000 to 15,000 square feet, with lease terms of up to 144 months (most initial lease terms are for 36 to 60 months).

We currently own land for future distribution center expansion and development. If economic conditions are suitable in the future, we will consider purchasing branch locations to house our older branches. It is anticipated the majority of new branch

locations will continue to be leased. It is our policy to negotiate relatively short lease terms to facilitate relocation of particular branch operations, when desirable. Our experience has been that there is sufficient space suitable for our needs and available for leasing.

The story

Founded in 1967 by Bob Kierlin, the company was incorporated on December 24, 1968. Fastenal's offerings include both purchased and manufactured products.

In January 2016, Daniel L. Florness became the president and CEO of Fastenal. Florness started with Fastenal in 1996 as the company's chief financial officer. In 2025, Fastenal announced President and CSO Jeff Watts would succeed Florness in July 2026.

On July 16, 2026, Jeffery M. Watts succeeded Daniel L. Florness as Chief Executive Officer of Fastenal, marking the conclusion of an orderly leadership transition process initiated in August 2024. Under the new leadership, the company has emphasized a continued strategic commitment to integrating artificial intelligence and advanced inventory management technologies to drive supply chain efficiency. Concurrently, the company has expanded its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting; in its 2026 Impact Report, Fastenal announced the attainment of limited assurance over its 2025 Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions and the achievement of zero-waste certification at its Wallingford, Connecticut, manufacturing facility.

Fastenal has been a sponsor of NASCAR since 2006, and in 2020, they became the official MRO partner of the NHL.

In 2009, Fastenal acquired parts of Holo-Krome, a socket head screw-making company. Fastenal then was added to the S&P 500 index in late 2008.

Canada

Fastenal entered the Canadian market in 1994. The company has branch locations in every province and two Canadian distribution centers.

Mexico

In 1999, Fastenal entered the market in Mexico. Fastenal has branches in 14 of Mexico's states as well as a distribution center.

Asia

Fastenal's Asian trading company, Fastenal Asian Sourcing and Trading Co, is a Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise located in Shanghai, China, where it directs sourcing and import purchasing activities. Opened in 2001, Fastenal's Singapore location was its first site outside North America. By 2009, sales operations in Shanghai were complemented by those in its larger neighbor Malaysia. Locally incorporated Fastenal Malaysia Sdn Bhd is associated with Fastenal's Malaysian activities. The company runs an A2LA accredited testing laboratory in this nation as of 2014.

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Fastenal names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 5, 2026: 32 risks under these headings, as written.18

  • Company-Specific Risks
  • Operational Risks
  • Products that we sell may expose us to potential material liability for property damage, environmental damage, personal injury, or death linked to the use of those products by our customers.
  • Interruptions in the proper functioning of information systems or the inability to maintain or upgrade our information systems, or convert to alternate systems in a timely and efficient manner, could disrupt operations, cause unanticipated increases in costs and/or decreases in sales, and result in less efficient operations.
  • We may not be successful in adopting and integrating emerging technologies.
  • The ability to adequately protect our intellectual property or successfully defend against infringement claims by others may have an adverse impact on operations.
  • Our ability to successfully attract, develop, and retain qualified personnel to staff our selling locations could impact labor costs, sales at existing selling locations, and the successful execution of our growth drivers.
  • Cybersecurity incidents, or violations of data privacy laws and regulations, could cause us to experience certain operational interruptions, incur substantial additional costs, become subject to legal or regulatory proceedings, or suffer damage to our reputation in the marketplace.
  • Changes in customer or product mix, downward pressure on sales prices, an inability to capture price increases in response to increased costs associated with tariffs, and changes in volume or timing of orders have caused and could continue to cause our gross profit percentage to fluctuate or decline in the future.
  • Our SG&A expenses could grow more rapidly than net sales, which could result in failure to achieve our goals related to leveraging sales growth into higher net income.
  • Our inability to attract or transition key executive officers may divert the attention of other members of our senior leadership and adversely impact our existing operations.
  • Our competitive advantage in FMI solutions, which includes industrial vending (FASTVend) and bin stock (FASTStock and FASTBin) tools, could be eliminated and, in the case of FASTVend and FASTBin, the loss of key suppliers of equipment and services could be impactful and result in failure to deploy devices. Certain circumstances could lead to a short-term inability to promote and/or install our FMI solutions.
The other 22 risks
  • We may be affected by global climate change or legal, tax, regulatory, or market responses to such change.
  • We may be unable to meet our goals regarding the growth drivers of our business.
  • The ability to identify new products and product lines, and integrate them into our selling efforts and distribution network, may impact our ability to compete, our ability to generate additional sales, and our profit margins.
  • The ability to adequately protect our reputation may have an adverse impact on operations and profitability.
  • We may not be able to compete effectively against traditional or non-traditional competitors, which could cause us to lose market share or erode our gross and/or operating income profit and/or percentage.
  • We may not be successful in integrating acquisitions and achieving intended benefits and synergies.
  • Equity Risks
  • There can be no assurance that our stock price will continue to reflect the current multiple of income over time.
  • We cannot provide any guaranty of future dividend payments or that we will continue to purchase shares of our common stock pursuant to our share purchase program.
  • General Economic and Operating Risks
  • Products manufactured in foreign countries may cease to be available, which could adversely affect our inventory levels and operating results.
  • A downturn in the economy or in the principal markets served by us and other factors may affect customer spending, which could harm our operating results.
  • Trade policies could make sourcing product from overseas more difficult and/or more costly, and could adversely impact our gross and/or operating profit percentage.
  • Changes in energy costs and the cost of raw materials used in our products could impact our net sales, cost of sales, gross profit percentage, distribution expenses, and occupancy expenses, which may result in lower operating income.
  • We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk, and changes in foreign exchange rates could increase the cost of purchasing products and impact our foreign sales.
  • Our current estimates of total market potential as well as the market potential of our business strategies could be incorrect.
  • The industrial, construction, and maintenance supply industry is consolidating, which could cause it to become more competitive and could negatively impact our market share, gross profit, and operating income.
  • The occurrence of a widespread public health crisis could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
  • Inclement weather and other disruptions to the transportation network could adversely impact our distribution system and demand for our products.
  • Legal, Regulatory, and Compliance Risks
  • Failure to maintain an effective system of internal controls over business processes and/or financial reporting could materially impact our business and results.
  • Tax laws and regulations require compliance efforts that can increase our cost of doing business and changes to these laws and regulations could impact financial results.
  • Changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates, and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters could significantly affect our financial results or financial condition.
  • We are subject to litigation risk due to the nature of our business, which may have a material adverse effect on our business.
  • Credit and Liquidity Risks
  • Tight credit markets could impact our ability to obtain financing on reasonable terms or increase the cost of existing or future financing and interest rate fluctuations could adversely impact our results.
