Finally, Fastenal Company (NASDAQ:FAST), lost -1.12% Thursday.

Earlier this summer Fastenal, installed an additional FAST Solutions(R) industrial vending machine within the Terex(R) Mixer manufacturing plant in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Given how many vending devices (machines and lockers) Fastenal installs during a typical business day, it was a commonplace event … except in one regard: that particular machine represented the 50,000th FAST Solutions device conpresently installed at Fastenal customer sites worldwide.

This milestone would have seemed unthinkable in 2008 when Fastenal displayed two prototype machines at its annual customer expo, signaling the debut of its vending program. At the time, industrial vending (dispensing high-demand shop consumables at the point of use) was still very much a niche technology, mainly due to the high cost of the machines and the labor required to manage them. The breakthrough was Fastenal’s ability to provide machines and lockers as part of a low-cost, full-service inventory administration solution, leveraging its network of 2,600-plus stores to keep the devices continually filled with the right supplies to meet customers’ changing needs.

“From the starting, we saw vending as an investment in our customers — a way to solidify relationships and earn opportunities by providing tremendous value in terms of time and cost savings,” said Lee Hein, Fastenal’s chief operating officer. “It’s been a perfect fit for our local service model, bringing our store teams and products even closer to our customers.”

Fastenal Company, together with its auxiliaries, engages in the wholesale distribution of industrial and construction supplies in the United States, Canada, and internationally. The company offers fasteners, and other industrial and construction supplies primarily under the Fastenal name.
