Together, with nearly 300 employees and 21 locations, B&F’s footprint with Northern States Supply will be larger and stronger than ever.
B&F Fastener Supply, a top provider in the industrial and construction industry, has acquired its long-time competitor, Northern States Supply. The duo intends to create a go-to regional powerhouse distributor in the Midwest region.
Established in 1988, B&F Fastener Supply has been a fast-growing, strategic industrial supply distributor, offering a customer-first culture and quality experience. Founded in 1960, Northern States Supply has a noteworthy track record as a distributor of quality industrial and construction supply products with competitive pricing.

Built on providing quality customer experiences and rooted in offering the best overall value, Northern States Supply will currently continue to operate under its name. This acquisition is in line with B&F Fastener Supply’s strategic vision to offer second-to-none customer service and best-in-class, quality products and services, while staying true to its roots.
It will enable both companies to join forces, strengthening their combined workforces, and offer an expanded product and service selection, including:
- In-house custom machining
- In-house custom packaging
- Vending solutions
- Power tools
- Tool accessories and more
The combined geographical reach for B&F Fastener Supply will range across Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Nebraska. Together, with nearly 300 employees, and 21 locations, B&F’s footprint will be stronger than ever before.
“We have long admired B&F Fastener Supply as a competitor and are so pleased to be part of their company,” said Northern States Supply president, Tina Erpenbach. “We are both industry-leading businesses that supply the highest quality products and second-to-none customer experiences, making this the perfect strategic partnership.”
