In the late 1960s, Fastenal founder, Bob Kierlin, established the company’s motto of Growth Through Customer Service. With that guiding principle, the company, which started as a nuts and bolts distributor, has not only grown to become North America’s largest fastener supplier but also has established a total of 2,500 stores in 21 countries.
Join us to hear 50 Years of Growth Through Customer Service as Dan Florness, President and CEO of Fastenal, takes the stage as part of LSBE’s Distinguished Speaker Series. Florness, who served as Chief Financial Officer for 20 years prior to becoming President and CEO in 2016, was recognized as one of the Nation’s Ten Best CFOs by The Wall Street Journal and CFO of the Year by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal.
The event will be in LSBE’s Minnesota Power Room, LSBE 118, on Thursday, October 5 at 5:00 p.m.
Afterward attendees may network while enjoying complimentary pizza and pop provided by LSBE’s Accounting Club.
Students are reminded to sign up beforehand and bring their IDs, as this is a Passport event.
