Green Bay-based Packer Fastener opened its fourth distribution center — its first in the Southeastern U.S. The DC is located in Austell, GA, about 15 miles west of downtown Atlanta.

The location enables the company to serve commercial contractors, manufacturers and fabricators across Georgia and the Southeastern U.S., including those in high-demand sectors like data centers, EV battery and automotive plants, power generation and industrial construction.

Eight-year Packer Fastener veteran Joe Alsteen manages the branch.

“Our presence in Atlanta is about more than just logistics,” stated CEO Terry Albrecht. “We’ve built our reputation in Green Bay by showing up for our customers, listening to what they need and delivering — every time. Now we’re bringing that same service-first mindset to Georgia.”

In February, Packer Fastener opened a DC in Columbus, OH. In 2024, the company opened a DC in Kansas City and relocated its headquarters to a larger DC and branch in Green Bay after relocating branches in Kansas City and Madison, WI.

Founded in 1998, Packer Fastener is a threaded fastener and industrial supply distributor employing 160 people at 11 branches in the Midwest and serves customers across the U.S. The family of companies now also includes Packer Freight, a freight brokerage and logistics company; and specialty fastener manufacturer Albolt Manufacturing.
