Action Fasteners and Supply

What Action Fasteners and Supply does

Action Fasteners and Supply LLC is a privately held B2B industrial distributor of fasteners, tools, abrasives, safety equipment, and related maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) supplies. Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Spokane Valley, Washington with a secondary location in Woodland, Washington, the company serves industrial and construction customers across Washington State, with an operating footprint limited to the Pacific Northwest. The product catalog spans core fastening categories (bolts, nuts, washers, screws, machine screws, anchors, rivets, all-thread rod, pins, hose clamps) plus complementary lines including cutting tools, circular saw blades, PFERD COMBIDISC abrasives, Lenox cutting products, cable management, lifting hardware, electrical support, strut framing, and personal protective equipment.

The business runs on an INxSQL-powered e-commerce platform (afbolt.com) that supports account-based pricing, quick order, bulk ordering, and request-a-quote workflows. Pricing is gated behind account login, and the company offers two service-layer differentiators: Keep-Fill, a recurring inventory replenishment program for MRO buyers, and Kitting, which assembles project-specific bill-of-materials kits for construction and industrial customers. The GTM is sales-led and account-based, targeting industrial and construction companies requiring single-source procurement of fasteners and consumables.

The revenue model is one-time product sales at the SKU level, supplemented by recurring managed-inventory (Keep-Fill) and project-based (Kitting) service revenue. No institutional ownership, no public listing, and no disclosed funding history exist; the company appears to be independently owned. Distribution is direct through the company website and physical locations, with no disclosed third-party resellers or channel partners.
