Packer Fastener opened a new 60,000 sq ft distribution center in Kansas City to better serve customers in the lower Midwest.

News of the facility in Lenexa, KS, comes six months after the Green Bay-based fastener distributor opened its first branch in the area. Green Bay-based Packer Fastener entered the Kansas City market in April through its facility in Olathe, KS. Matt Campbell, who formerly led Packer locations in Madison, WI, and Rockford, IL, leads the branch.

The DC marks the company’s 12th location.

Founded in 1998, Green Bay-based 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 Albolt Manufacturing — a manufacturer of specialty fasteners.
