Mr. J.M. Borstlap and his sons Karel and Joop started their company Borstlap & Sons in the coastal town of Scheveningen (The Hague, The Netherlands) on 10 March 1947. As wholesale traders in fasteners, they soon began to sell most of their products under the brand name Fabory.
The company grew quickly and outgrew several locations in The Hague before relocating to Tilburg in 1968. Continuous growth and several takeovers resulted in The Borstlap Masters in Fasteners Group, a name associated worldwide with high quality products.
The last member of the Borstlap family to play an active part in the company was Mr. John Borstlap. He left the company in 1999. In 2006 the name Borstlap was replaced with Fabory to enhance the uniform group identity. It is also far easier to pronounce by people around the world.
On 1 September 2011, Fabory became a part of Grainger International, a Fortune 500 company and North America’s leading broad line supplier of maintenance, repair and operating products, with expanding operations in Europe, Asia and Latin America. Fabory and Grainger share core values of teamwork and service. Like Fabory, Grainger’s success is built on relationships - with customers, communities, suppliers and team members. Grainger has been recognised as a great company to work for, and was named the most admired wholesale distributor in the world by Fortune Magazine in 2010 and 2011.
