A MESSAGE FROM FASTENAL ANOTHER YEAR IN THE BOOKS This issue marks a complete year of The Blue Print . We started this journey to provide you with insights into the marketplace, expert product and application advice, and tips for efficient supply chain management. Markets are evolving. Technology is emerging. Supply chains are in constant flux. We understand the importance of staying on top of that, and we hope the information presented this year has sparked ideas to consider or incorporate into your business. Sharing information is part of our commitment to partnership. As our world becomes increasingly digitized and automated, we know the value of having discussions and solving problems with another person – that is what we are here for. Years ago our company founder, Bob Kierlin, developed a set of leadership principles, one of which is to “see the unique humanness in everyone.” We embrace that principle within our culture and with our customer relationships. Your challenges and goals are unique. The way you operate is unique. Rely on us to understand those nuances and provide solutions that work for your business. Our last issue opened with a look at how Fastenal has evolved over time in response to our customers’ needs. We will continue to listen to your voice and adapt our team to help your team. As you think about closing the books on another year, please know how much we appreciate you choosing us as your business partner. We don’t take for granted the trust you’re putting in us to help keep your supply chain moving. We hope you get some time over the holidays to relax, reflect, and celebrate with your friends and family. Over here, your “Fastenal family” will be thinking of you and getting geared up to be your trusted, innovative partner as we turn the page to 2022. On behalf of the Fastenal Blue Team, HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Brooke Mlsna Vice President of Marketing 4
