Holo‑Krome has been at the forefront of fastener innovation since its founding in 1929. Acquired by the Fastenal Company in 2009, our tradition of quality continues at our 200,000 square foot facility in Wallingford, Connecticut where we manufacture over 100 million parts a year, each one proudly made in the USA.

Since 1967 Fastenal has grown as a distributor of industrial and construction supplies from a single branch to a Fortune 500 company with approximately 3,200 servicing locations, each providing tailored local inventory and personal service for our customers.

As a growth company with a solid financial position, we are committed to training, promoting from within, and creating opportunities for our employees. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit and are looking to make your mark as part of an elite growth company, you won't find a better fit than Fastenal.
