Process
For over 30 years, A+ has supported domestic manufacturers (United States, Canada, Mexico) by vetting international vendors & building long-term partnerships with the factories that produce the components used in their finished goods. By managing this trusted global network, we deliver reliable component supply. This enables domestic manufacturers to focus on designing, building & bringing their products to market.
Primary Categories of Expertise
Buckles, Fasteners & Hardware
Plastic & metal buckles, fasteners & hardware serve as essential components in the design construction of finished products, used to secure, adjust, attach & reinforce functional areas.
Assembled Webbing Straps
Production-ready strap systems combining hardware & webbing, built for direct integration into finished products. Designed to reduce in-house labor, improve consistency & streamline manufacturing.
Additional Support
Beyond our core fastener and strap categories, our sourcing team vets qualified vendors for injection molding, die-casting, sewing, assembly, and other production needs.
