Frequently Asked
questions
We have formed partnerships with many of our vendors based on years of consistent quality, service, and economical pricing. Many of our vendors refer leads to us because we know what materials will work, and how to fabricate those materials.
We are primarily focused on suppliers in North America. Some of our suppliers have single-location plants in the USA. Others have global facilities. Only a few are strictly imports, and those are for customers that have specific application needs that are not met with domestic sources.
