Letter from the Founder

I have been peddling fasteners for over forty years. My goal from the start has been to be the best distributor in the United States.  I want to be known as providing the best customer service around town and I want my suppliers to think of me as their best customer.  At Copper State Bolt & Nut Co., you won't find voice mail, long lines, back orders or rookies.  You will find lots of inventory, same day service, and an extremely knowledgeable sales staff.

I often remind my employees "If we do business today, like we did yesterday, we won't be around tomorrow".  We welcome change at every level of our business to improve customer service and operations.  Unsatisfied customers are the only customers I don't like.  I am the self appointed Chairman of Customer Complaints and I can be reached at 800-603-NUTS.

Letter from the President

Copper State Bolt & Nut Co. has established a niche in the market place.  While we may not provide the products that customers think of first, those they budget for the most, or plan for in advance, we know that we provide the products they need now.  Much is said about economic conditions and market fluctuations, but since 1972 Copper State has maintained a powerful and steady course.  We will not limit our attention or strategy to today’s specific conditions, rather we will continue to focus on what lays ahead and the goals and expectations of our customers.  There is nothing we can change by looking back, but as we look forward we can take action on the needs of tomorrow.  As it relates to Martin’s original vision for sales, service, and inventory, everything has changed… yet nothing has changed.

For nearly 40 years Martin has had a passion for customer service.  In the past decade, we have focused our business on responding to the changing needs of our customers.  As a company serving 14,000 customers we’ve added new locations, established out-of-state distribution centers, introduced new products and services, and built a team of the very best people in the fastener industry.  We have capitalized on operations and logistics solutions, technology processes and advances, and inventory on-hand in every location to support our ever changing customer demand.  We will continue to strive for new and improved means to satisfy both the smallest consumers of fasteners, and the largest.
