What sets the company apart from its competitors is
service, product variety, and quality, she says.
“Our business model is unique in that we are both
high volume and highly specialized. We are a hybrid in
that we offer high-volume items like gray storage cabi-
nets, one after the other. But then we also have a lot
of niche, one-off products that are not offered by our
competition.”
Competitors “usually do one or the other – high vol-
ume or highly specialized,” she notes. That Tennsco
does both is “hugely advantageous.” Some custom-
ers get common products, “but they still need these
unique items to satisfy a particular requirement of an
end user. And it’s much more advantageous for them
to be able to order and ship from one place than to
have to cherry-pick around.” Thus, the company’s phi-
losophy: “Storage Made Easy.”
