About Us
A Legacy of Quality and Innovation- Endries International
Our Approach
Quality and customer service drive our team at Endries. Even though the parts we supply may be small, we know they are a critical part of your product. We take pride in providing high-quality fasteners and related components seamlessly.
We help businesses of all sizes, from small local shops to large manufacturers worldwide. Our sourcing and supply program across North America, Europe and Asia and our fulfillment solutions allow our customers to focus on what they do best.
MORE THAN A FASTENER SUPPLIER
We know how important it is to have the right part right when you need it. That’s why we’re committed to delivering prompt, personal service. At Endries, we’re more than just your fastener supplier; we’re your supply partner and function as an extension of your team.
INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY
As your needs change, the supply method for your products must also evolve. We are constantly looking for new ways to leverage technology to make inventory supply and management more efficient.
We prioritize technology in our operations, from the RFID tags in our PULSE technology to cellular scanners. Additionally, thanks to our ISO 9001 documented procedure for disaster recovery, we are well-prepared for any unforeseen circumstances. By continuing to push forward with technology, we can keep you one step ahead of the competition.
History
We have grown tremendously over the last 50 years, but we’ve always stayed true to our roots. Founded in 1970, Bob and Patricia Endries started the business in their basement in Brillion, Wisconsin. Today, the Endries headquarters is still in the same small town where it all started.
Since the beginning, our dedication to quality and customer satisfaction has set us apart. As we continue to grow, the Endries family values are our guide.
