Fastenal Co. formed a multi-year partnership with the Edmonton Oilers. The agreement makes Fastenal the preferred MRO supply partner of the team’s 1.1 million sq ft arena, Rogers Place, reflecting Fastenal’s growing partnership with the NHL and its clubs.

Fastenal has been working with the Oilers at Rogers Place since 2024. With the new agreement, they will supply the arena with MRO products needed to maintain a world-class fan experience – from tools and fasteners to janitorial and sanitation supplies. Fastenal is also implementing additional Fastenal Managed Inventory Technology (FMIT), including cloud-connected FASTVend® and FASTBin® devices, to help the arena's maintenance and janitorial staff operate more efficiently.

As part of the agreement, Fastenal will have an enhanced presence during Oilers television broadcasts, as well as a dasherboard at Rogers Place during Oilers games.

“As the official MRO sponsor of the NHL, we’re able to take a strategic approach with inventory demand, ensuring arena readiness and operational excellence,” stated Greg Mees, Fastenal VP overseeing Western Canada. “We’re thrilled to bring this expertise to Rogers Place.”

“They have an amazing facility, and we’re excited to outfit it with state-of-the-art Fastenal solutions and services,” added Dmitriy Lipes, Fastenal local district manager. “Being located in Edmonton, we take a lot of pride in serving such a historic team. We’re proud to partner on and off the ice.”

Through Fastenal’s national sponsorship of the NHL, the League, its clubs, and arenas can utilize FMIT, digital solutions, and the distribution giant’s branch network to strengthen their supply chain and streamline operations.

With approximately 1,600 branch locations spanning 25 countries, Fastenal supplies fasteners, safety products, metal cutting products, and other industrial supplies to customers engaged in manufacturing, construction, warehouse and storage, data centers, wholesale, and federal, state, and local government.
