PEOPLE FIRST When Fastenal opened for business in 1967, we were the smallest of an estimated 10,000 fastener sellers in the nation. By the mid-1990s, we had outgrown them all – and we’ve never looked back. What explains this outlier performance? “We had to be doing something different,” said company founder Bob Kierlin. “It wasn’t in the product, and it wasn’t in how we distributed the product. It was our belief in people.” Since then Fastenal has seen remarkable growth and change, but we’ve never lost sight of this core belief – that ‘ordinary’ people can accomplish extraordinary things, if given the opportunity. It starts with three commitments to everyone who joins the Blue Team: • T raining – investing in resources for you to expand your skill set and pursue your career goals. • O wnership – empowering you to make decisions, take risks, and think like a business owner. • P romotion – presenting pathways to branch out, advance, and grow with the company.
