Why SB5
Vetted overseas sourcing, inspected before shipment, warehoused locally for fast reorders.
We're the importer-distributor that finally did the supply-chain work for OEMs in screens, awnings, shutters, garage doors, windows, and doors. Plant City warehousing is the proof point that none of the OEM-direct importers can match — and none of the U.S. distributors can match on price.
The Model
Five reasons OEMs consolidate sourcing with us.
The supply chain problem we solve
OEMs in retractable screens, awnings, shutters, garage doors, windows, and doors face the same procurement squeeze. Buying from U.S. distributors means paying through multiple markups. Buying overseas direct means MOQ exposure, language gaps, customs and freight complexity, and no quality-control safety net — and every reorder restarts a 30 to 60 day cycle. SB5 absorbs that whole problem for our customers.
Vetted factories, every time
We've done the legwork of qualifying overseas manufacturers — auditing facilities, evaluating tooling, comparing samples — so you don't have to. When you ask us to source a component, you're getting access to factories we've already proven out for dimensional consistency, material spec, and run-to-run repeatability.
Quality controlled before it ships to you
Every order is sample-inspected against the customer spec before release. We catch the issues that show up in unverified direct-from-overseas shipments — wrong durometer, drifting backing widths, inconsistent galvanization, missing tolerances — at our warehouse, not at your assembly line.
Better price than U.S. distributors
Because we source direct from manufacturer instead of buying through Ultrafab, AmesburyTruth, Schlegel, Reese, or other U.S. distribution channels, our pricing reflects the actual factory cost plus our vetting, warehousing, and QC services — not the stacked markups of a multi-tier distribution chain.
Your inventory, your spec, our warehouse
After your first order, we hold your spec in Plant City, FL. The inventory is yours — reserved against your account, in your dimensions, your color, your packaging. Reorders ship from local stock instead of restarting a global sourcing cycle. You get the unit economics of overseas sourcing on every order, and the responsiveness of a local distributor.
