This month marks 25 years of United Fasteners
From humble beginnings to becoming Australia’s largest independent fastener distributor, we’re proud to celebrate a quarter-century of keeping it together with our customers.
A local story of national scale
Founded in February 2001 by Phillip Mitchelhill, United Fasteners started with a clear purpose: to deliver reliable fastening solutions, backed by industry knowledge and genuine service.
From that first branch, we’ve grown into a trusted, family-owned business with 15 branches across the country, 75,000+ SKUs, and a national distribution network that reaches every major industrial hub in Australia.
Built on service, driven by trust
We’ve never just sold nuts and bolts. We’ve helped solve problems, support deadlines, and deliver confidence across every industry sector from construction, manufacturing, mining, defence, energy, agriculture and more.
Our success has always come back to three things:
- Exceptional service: With the industry’s benchmark for DIFOT (Delivered In Full, On Time), we know how critical reliability is.
- Deep technical expertise: Our people are fastener experts who know how to find the right solution, no matter the challenge.
- Strong relationships: Whether it’s the local tradie or a national infrastructure partner, we treat our customers like lifelong collaborators.
Powered by people and partnerships
Reaching 25 years is a milestone made possible by the dedication of our team and the loyalty of our customers. From the front counter to the warehouse, every United Fasteners branch is designed to deliver tailored support for its local community.
We’ve also built long-term relationships with over 500 trusted suppliers, ensuring a strong global supply chain with quality you can count on.
Focused on the future
As we look ahead, we’re not slowing down. Our commitment to innovation, digital capability, and sustainable operations continues to evolve with the needs of modern Australian industry. From e-commerce improvements to smarter inventory management, we're building for the next 25 years with the same purpose: to supply everything you need to keep it together, in full and on time.
Thank you to our team members and customers past and present
Here’s to the next 25. Keep it together, keep it United Fasteners.
