Bob Kierlin, the visionary founder of Fastenal Company, passed away at the age of 85. Kierlin established Fastenal in 1967, initially conceiving it as a vending company for nuts and bolts.
His foundational vision laid the philosophical groundwork for Fastenal's enduring commitment to bringing products closer to the point of use. This early customer-centricity profoundly shaped the company's 'Growth Through Customer Service' motto.
While no longer actively involved in daily operations, Kierlin's legacy as the founder remains a significant and integral part of Fastenal's history and corporate culture.
