Strengths That Set Us Apart
At U.S. Fastener Import & Trading Company (USFITC), we’ve built our business around one simple goal: helping our clients source high-quality fasteners and specialty hardware with efficiency, flexibility, and zero unnecessary overhead. Here’s how our model gives customers a smarter alternative to traditional fastener distributors:
1. Lean, Commission-Based Model
Unlike conventional distributors, we don’t hold inventory — and that’s by design. Operating on a commission-based structure allows us to keep our costs low and pass those savings on to you. You only pay for what you need, when you need it.
2. Flexible and Nimble
Because we don’t operate massive warehouses or fixed product lines, we’re able to adapt quickly to changing market conditions. Need a specific item that others can’t get? We can source it. Our network and focus give us the agility that larger companies often lack.
3. Strategic Sourcing Expertise
With years of experience in global fastener trade, we help our clients navigate today’s volatile landscape — from tariffs and lead times to country-of-origin requirements. We don’t just connect buyers and manufacturers — we solve sourcing challenges.
4. Personalized Client Service
No generic call centers or ticket numbers here. At USFITC, every client gets direct, personalized service. We take the time to understand your unique requirements and respond quickly, with clarity and accountability.
5. Global Supplier Relationships
We’ve cultivated long-standing partnerships with top-tier manufacturers in Japan, Taiwan, and beyond. These trusted relationships give our clients access to high-quality products, competitive pricing, and custom solutions — without the markup of a middle layer.
6. Low-Risk, High-Value Engagement
You don’t need to commit to large volumes or long-term warehousing agreements to work with us. Whether you’re testing a new sourcing strategy or scaling a steady supply chain, we offer a low-risk way to unlock high-value procurement.
Bonus Strength: Not Owned and Controlled by Private Equity
USFITC is proudly independent — not owned or controlled by private equity. That means we don’t answer to outside investors or quarterly return targets. Our focus is entirely on serving our clients, building long-term relationships, and making sourcing decisions based on quality and value — not just margins. Independence allows us to prioritize service, flexibility, and trust over shareholder pressure.
