During its 70 years of business, Fabory has established a presence in 11 European countries, growing from one location in the Dutch coastal town of Scheveningen to more than 80 locations throughout Europe today. Over 1,100 workers now serve customers with more than 200,000 different products and services.

“These days the company doesn’t just sell fasteners anymore, but all products and services closely related to fasteners as well, such as tools, safety products, industrial products, and managed inventory solutions.”

Fabory’s acquisition by Grainger in 2011 opened a range of fastener products to Fabory customers, while the larger scale meant pricing improved. The acquisition also provided the company with access to online expertise.

Grainger purchased Fabory for $346 million.

“Looking at our company today, we have so many things to be proud of: our knowledgeable team members, our excellent infrastructure, our extensive and high quality product range, our technical know-how, and our customers who do the most amazing work with the products we provide,” stated Ronald Baarslag, Fabory VP & general manager. “I am very confident that the next 70 years will bring further success for Fabory.” Web: fabory.com
