There are two types of orders: - The ones you planned for. - And the ones you needed yesterday. We’re here for both. And when you’re ready to see fewer of the latter, we’re here to help you plan ahead.

Reliability and safety are non-negotiables, especially when you're working in a nuclear power plant. DC Cook knows this, which is why they turned to us. We handle their inventory so they can stay focused on safety‑critical, nuclear‑grade work that keeps the plant running every day.

Data. As the gold mine of your supply chain, it deserves impeccable protection. Modular Power Solutions (MPS) fully understands the importance of data. They make custom electrical units that provide a consistent flow of energy, so teams are never at risk of losing power (or data). MPS had a great problem: More demand than expected. When demand is booming, the last thing you want is your own supply chain holding you back. So, what'd they do? Turn to Fastenal. Now, vending machines and lockers collect data to help MPS adapt. An inventory management system keeps facilities organized. And, repair and calibration services track 5,000+ tools, meaning the certifications are on hand at any given time.

It’s Construction Safety Week AND Safety Stand‑Down so we're asking, what do you think matters most to keep crews safe?

What is the true cost of heat in your operation? The most visible impacts usually show up first. The less obvious ones can take longer to surface and longer to fix without early planning. Explore the hidden costs of heat and ask yourself one question. Are you planning for them?

Unless you work at a venue, you don't think about the behinds-the-scenes effort that's required to keep things running. So many of us go for the game or the concert, and we forget that it takes a full team to keep switching between sports and entertainment. The team at Scotiabank Arena doesn't forget this, though. They live it. They also trust Fastenal to have what they need when they need it. See for yourself. The details are in the video. Oh, and now seems like a good time to mention that we're THE supply chain partner for the NHL.
