Manufacturer vs Distributor
Buy Your Tubing From the Manufacturer.
Not the Middleman.
Most tubing sellers are distributors. They buy from a manufacturer, mark it up, and pass the cost to you. Fluorostore is backed by Fluorotherm Polymers, an actual manufacturer with over 40 years of fluoropolymer expertise.
Manufacturer vs Distributor
Where you buy changes what you pay, what you get, and how fast it arrives. Here's the difference, row by row.
The Middleman Model
The Manufacturer Advantage
What Buying Direct Actually Gets You
Four reasons buying from the manufacturer beats buying from a reseller.
Better Pricing
Every distributor in the chain adds a markup. When you buy factory-direct, you skip those layers. You pay for the tubing, not for everyone who touched it on the way to you.
Controlled Quality
A distributor resells whatever they're shipped. We control quality ourselves, backed by ISO 9001:2015 certification. When your QA team asks where it came from, you have a clear answer.
More Sizes, Plus Custom
Resellers are limited to what they stock. We carry hundreds of sizes in both fractional and metric, and because we manufacture, we can cut custom lengths and build to spec.
Faster Delivery
A reseller has to wait on their supplier when stock runs low. We ship from our own inventory, so when a line goes down and you need tubing now, you're not stuck in someone else's queue.
Same Tubing Category. Very Different Source.
Anyone can list fluoropolymer tubing on a website. Far fewer actually make it. That difference shows up in your price, your quality documentation, and your delivery date.
