Packer Fastener Expands into Southeast with Atlanta DC
It's the distributor's first entry into the region and marks its sixth state to have a footprint in.
Packer Fastener continues its rapid expansion with the opening of its fourth distribution center, and first in a new region.
The Green Bay, WI-based distributor announced July 15 that it has opened a fulfillment center in Austell, GA, about 15 miles west of downtown Atlanta. Its address is 8005 2nd Flags Drive Suite 100A.
Packer Fastener said that the new DC — located in the Six Flags Industrial Park, will enable the company to better service the needs of commercial contractors, manufacturers and fabricators across Georgia and the Southeastern U.S., especially those in high-demand sectors like data centers, EV battery and automotive plants, power generation and industrial construction.
Early this year, Packer Fastener opened a DC in Columbus, OH. In 2024, the company opened a new DC in Kansas City and relocated its headquarters to a larger DC and branch in Green Bay; along with new and relocated branches in Kansas City and Madison, WI.
“Our presence in Atlanta is about more than just logistics,” said Terry Albrecht, Packer Fastener CEO. “It’s about showing up with the right people, the right attitude and the drive to help our partners get real results with a team they can count on. 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. We’re excited to become a trusted, go-to resource for the region’s industrial and construction sectors.”
Founded in 1998, Packer Fastener is a distributor of Class C components and other fastener and industrial products that include abrasives, safety PPE, fittings, welding supplies and more. It has seven locations in Wisconsin and one each in Minnesota, Illinois, Kansas, Ohio and now Georgia. Its sibling company Packer Freight is a full-service logistics provider.
