Fastenal Company holds Ribbon Cutting Ceremony in Chalmette

Fastenal Company held a ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday, February 28, 2014
located at 3317 Paris Road, Chalmette.  Company officials and staff were
joined by Parish President David Peralta, State Representative Ray Garofalo,
St. Bernard Chamber of Commerce Chairman Fred Sigur, Chamber Executive
Director Stephen Reuther and other Chamber members.   Fastenal is located
between McDonald's and O'Reilly Auto Parts.  The hours of operation are
Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. To find out more
information contact the store at 504-279-7031 or www.fastenal.com 

Any overview of the company has to start with a look at the 2,600+ store
locations and the 10,000+ people who operate them.  After all, when
customers think of Fastenal, they don't think of some remote corporation;
they think of the local "Blue Team" that serves them on a daily basis.  

Backed by global sourcing, quality, and logistics operations, Fastenal is a
local, one-stop source for a spectrum of OEM, MRO and Construction supplies.
That includes a broad core inventory of commonly used products, as well as
items that are custom-stocked to meet individual customers' needs.  

Working within the decentralized environment, store personnel take a
flexible approach to support local customers - sourcing products, making
emergency deliveries, managing a lean flow of inventory to points of use,
and leveraging our services, solutions and specialists to drive continual
business improvements.

Local product and local people: these are the cornerstones of the store's
value proposition.   And that's what Fastenal is all about - using corporate
resources to be the best local supplier in every market they serve.
