About

We are proud to have been of service to you, our customers, for almost 80 years.  As Shoe Factory Supplies Company, we made many friends in the shoe and allied leather goods industry.  In 1978, we changed our name to SFS Associates, reflecting the expansion and diversification of our business into a wide range of industries through a diverse product line.

Our staff offers years of knowledge and experience to assist you with your needs.  We are a team, ready to assist you when you need advice, when you are in a bind, or when you are not sure exactly what you want!  We are here to help you.

Our organization continues to be built around Speed, Friendliness, and Service.  This is what has kept our customers satisfied for over a half century.  All of us at SFS realize that it is you, the customer, that has been the key to our success.  We will always strive to earn your business.
