TFI Custom Fabrication earns VELCRO Brand Platinum Converter status

TFI Custom Fabrication says it combines large-scale VELCRO® Brand ONE-WRAP® distribution with Platinum Converter status, giving AV and MRO buyers a single source for products and custom fabrication. The Chula Vista manufacturer has operated since 1985 and ships nationally from California.

Why it matters: - TFI Custom Fabrication combines VELCRO® Brand Platinum Converter status with large-scale ONE-WRAP® distribution. - The pairing gives AV professionals and MRO buyers one source for standard VELCRO® Brand products and custom-engineered solutions. - The company’s national shipping footprint widens access beyond the West Coast.

What happened: - TFI Custom Fabrication said it holds VELCRO® Brand Platinum Converter status. - The Chula Vista, California manufacturer said it is one of the largest distributors of VELCRO® Brand ONE-WRAP® products on the West Coast. - TFI said it ships nationally from its California facility. - The company has served industrial and professional buyers since 1985.

The details: - TFI’s vice president said the company prefers to provide fully engineered, customized solutions instead of only off-the-shelf products. - TFI said its manufacturing capabilities include die-cutting, industrial sewing, ultrasonic welding, grommeting and custom printing on VELCRO® Brand materials. - The company also manufactures proprietary cable management products under the Cord-Lox® line. - The product line includes Hangmaster® heavy-duty cable-hanging solutions and Coil'n'Carry® adjustable handle straps for coiled cables and hoses. - Notable customers listed in the release include Disney, Netflix, T-Mobile, Bellagio and WinStar Casino. - TFI Custom Fabrication is a Speedtech International company operating from Chula Vista. - The company provides more information at tfifab.com.

What's next: - TFI is expected to keep marketing both its VELCRO® Brand distribution business and its proprietary cable-management lines to AV, MRO and OEM customers nationwide. - The company’s emphasis on custom fabrication suggests continued focus on engineered solutions rather than only catalog sales.
