Import & Logistics
Management
Global Sourcing without the import headache
We manage the logistics and details between overseas manufacturing and your U.S. receiving dock.
Our customers get access to global manufacturing without having to become experts in global logistics.
We make Fastener Sourcing simple
by making global sourcing and logistics easier for you.
Our team coordinates:
- Supplier coordination

- Inspection and independent testing
- Documentation and certification
- Shipment consolidation
- Customs and import coordination
- International logistics management
- Drop shipping and direct delivery
- DDP delivery
- Port and inland transportation
Multi-Supplier Consolidation
Why purchase an entire container from one factory when your business needs products from several? We can combine products from multiple manufacturing sources into consolidated shipments to improve container utilization and reduce unnecessary freight expense.
Built for Distributors
Material Specialist sells exclusively to qualified distributors and resellers. We do not sell directly to contractors, installers, OEMs, equipment manufacturers, end users or the general public.
That distinction matters. When we help a distributor develop an opportunity, we're not looking over the distributor's shoulder at its customer. We support the distributor. We don't compete with the distributor.
Overseas Stock & Release
For qualifying programs, customers can commit to annual or production quantities while we coordinate manufacturing and hold completed product within our overseas supply network for scheduled release.

Fastener Drop Shipping & Direct Delivery
Material Specialist can provide fastener drop shipping and direct-delivery programs where appropriate. Products can be manufactured, inspected, tested, documented, imported and delivered according to an agreed supply program. This allows distributors to expand their sourcing capabilities without adding unnecessary inventory or assuming responsibility for international logistics.
Reliable logistics. Fewer moving parts.
Our goal is not simply to move containers. Our goal is to create a predictable supply chain from factory to customer.
Global Manufacturing. U.S. Accountability.
