Distributes fasteners, safety products, tools, and other industrial supplies through branches, customer-site inventory programs, and digital ordering. Manufacturing drives demand, while FASTStock, FASTBin, and FASTVend embed replenishment near the point of use and most sales come from the United States.
Distributes fasteners, safety gear, tools, janitorial products, and other industrial and construction supplies, with manufacturing customers forming the core market. The network spans branches in 25 countries and is supported by distribution centers across North America, Asia, and Europe.
Combines local inventory and frequent delivery with FASTStock, FASTBin, and FASTVend, plus eBusiness, FAST360 analytics, and FASTCrib software. These systems place replenishment and usage data close to customer operations, while limited in-house manufacturing covers custom and branded fasteners.
Revenue is concentrated in the United States, and demand remains tied to manufacturing and nonresidential construction cycles. Supply for fasteners and private-label goods is concentrated in Asia, making product cost and supply-chain effectiveness dependent on cross-border trade.
