A World of Opportunity
There is only one Amazon in the world.
There are, however, countless tributaries.
We are Tributary Supply.
SINGLE SOURCE
SUPPLY CHAIN SERVICES
The art in in bringing a product to market with exceptional value lies in the micromanagement of every single step of the process. Our unique business model gives us control to ensure the highest quality, at the absolute lowest price. Each stage of the process is a potential misstep, mistake, pinch point or added cost.
We eliminate inefficiencies and ensure quality all the while minimizing lead times and ensuring 100% on time and complete delivery. This is evidenced by the monthly report cards issued by our largest customers which include the most successful retailers in the world .
It takes the talent, teamwork and coordination of key people throughout Mainland China, Hong Kong China, Vietnam and the USA to create this unique experience.
OUR CUSTOMERS
We supply some of the largest, most successful corporations in the world. We compete against some of the savviest, most experienced, and well financed manufacturers in the world. In order to not only survive but to thrive, we have had to become as good, if not better, than the best of the best. Our customers can only afford to buy from folks who they can rely on for not just the lowest price and the highest quality but for the services needed to execute their strategies.
That’s our space. Where we focus. Where we compete. Where we thrive.
AT OUR HEART
At our heart, the very essence of our mission is to ensure quality product is delivered.
Without quality, nothing else matters.
That being said, todays top corporations take quality control for granted. Without it, you self-eliminate rapidly.
HOW WE DEFINE OURSELVES
A manufacturer? Sourcing corporation? Packaging company? A consolidator? We do all of that.
In essence, we are a vendor corporation which manufactures and sells our service in the guise of a line of products.
INCEPTION TO CONSUMPTION
Encapsulating and executing the entire process in the life of a product , from sourcing raw material to manufacturing, to packaging , consolidation , shipping, freighting and warrantying thousands of items is, in itself, the product we produce.
WE ARE
DIFFERENT
We focus on the process. Besides our manufacturing experts, our team includes engineers, patent lawyers, logistics specialists, data analysts, software engineers, marketing experts and merchandising experts. There are very few companies in the world that can do what we do. Most, if not all of them are Chinese.

FOCUS:
BORING
PRODUCTS
We are always asked what products we make. It’s almost easier to state what products we avoid. We love basic products that benefit from good engineering and competitive pricing. They don’t expire. They don’t break. Millions of each sold every year. Predictably.
We manufacture and supply thousands of items across a broad spectrum.
We are able to do this successfully because we are focused on a product lines attributes, not necessarily the market.
Through the process of elimination – our we have defined our product line.
Products we avoid
- Electronics. Complex. Highly specialized. Quickly obsolete.
- Clothing. Highly labor intensive. Fickle fashion.
- Personal care products. Requires specialization
- Food: Product spoils. Requires complex chain of custody
- Toys: Highly regulated. Narrow market channel.
- Sporting goods: Brand oriented.
- Pet goods: Oversaturated
Products we love
- Tools: Room for private brands and private brand manufacturing.
- Never obsolete. No expiration.
- Hardware: High item count and complexity limits competition
- Zip ties: We are one of the largest suppliers in the world
- Plumbing: Highly complex. High item count. Regulated. Certified. Few
- competitors

SO, WHAT ARE WE?
Manufacturer? Supplier? Vendor? A kitchen?
SUPPLY CHAIN GRAPHIC/ANIMATION GOES HERE
Technically, a manufacturer is a corporation which actually makes a product. However, even that definition is vague, in that most products require components from at least a few, if not dozens of sub-suppliers.
Most companies are focused on being the best at one step in the supply chain and doing it well. We have found that the best way to be the best vendor is to focus on the supply chain itself. The efficiencies and ability to execute is exponentially greater when you are involved throughout the process.
Today manufacturing companies in China are like kitchens. Brand name corporations bring to these “kitchens” a recipe (product design), the ingredients (raw materials) and the order (PO). The manufacturer cooks the order. We “cook” our products at the same factories as some of the most famous, internationally known brands in the world. So, are we manufacturers? Yes! Along with the best of them!
