OUR 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. Bob and Patricia’s son Steve Endries took over as President in 2004 and continues today as Chairman of the Board.
Quality and customer service has always been important — even in the beginning. Bob and Patricia Endries founded us as Bob Endries Auto Specialties in a small basement located in Brillion, WI.
We moved from a basement to a new building at the present site of our corporate office in Brillion, WI. We also got semi-loads of fasteners after purchasing a business from Detroit, MI.
Under the Wisconsin Incorporation Laws, we changed our name to Endries Fastener & Supply, Inc.
We are booming! Compared to the year prior, our sales increased by 70%.
As we continued to grow, we continued to make upgrades. We added a 30,000-square-foot addition to the building.
