We don’t want to just ‘sell products’ to our customers. Rather we want to be a complete solution provider, from material selection, to custom product design and prototyping, to final delivery. The combination of Fastenal’s nationwide footprint with Engineered Materials’s ability to create custom bonding and sealing solutions, will give manufacturers unmatched access to best-in-class products and support.”

Die cut parts of specialty materials such as heat shielding, insulating, and other high temperature materials.
