At the time, Virgil had a degree in business and economics and had finished serving six years in the Army. Virgil had experience with the procurement of components and an interest in the metric system. He set out to learn about specialty metric fasteners. His strong work ethic and a focus on quality helped make the company successful and grow. Refining Their Focus By the early 1990s, Lindstrom had become known as an expert in the fasteners industry. Lindstrom decided to grow the company’s size and geographic reach through acquisitions. During this time, they changed their business model to sell exclusively to distributors. The change in focus allowed the company to form many significant and long-lasting relationships with distributors within the US and abroad. Lindstrom’s focus is on distributors of fasteners and industrial supplies. With many strategically located locations across the US and Canada, they are in a perfect position to deliver on their stated missions, “provide excellent customer service and total product availability. The entire organization revolves around these missions. Our sourcing team ensures that all products are in stock when and where you need them. Our warehouse operations guarantee that orders large and small ship on-time. Our knowledgeable sales staff can answer any question you may have. Every inch and millimeter of the company is focused on the customer’s experience.” Lindstrom offers products stocked for immediate delivery, multiple packaging options, specialty plating, specialty manufacturing, and other value-added services. Continued Growth To better serve their customers Lindstrom created a fabricating division. Their Mega Fabricating division offers fabricated fasteners, per-print items and odd sizes to fill all of their customers’ special part requirements. A couple of notable mergers and acquisitions include Titan Fasteners and Stelfast. Titan Fasteners was acquired in 2014. Titan is well known in the marketplace as a premier master distributor. Their focus on low volume and non-commodity SKU’s was an excellent complement to Lindstrom’s existing product line. Both companies pride themselves on their customer service and value-added services. In 2018 Lindstrom merged with Stelfast to form LindFast Solutions Group. Both companies exclusively sell to distributors. The two companies share core values. Stelfast’s existing commitment to customer service was a perfect fit for Lindstrom’s culture. The merger increased the number of products the new company offers as well as its number of physical locations. Both increases put Lindstrom in a position to meet more of its customers’ needs and improve their already excellent service. LindFast Solutions Group now offers over 80,000 SKU’s and has the following locations serving North America: United States ¤ California ¤ Texas ¤ Georgia ¤ Washington ¤ Illinois ¤ Minnesota Canada ¤ New Jersey ¤ Montreal ¤ New York ¤ Toronto ¤ Ohio ¤ South Carolina BUSINESS FOCUS ARTICLE CONTINUED ON PAGE 102
