01 / WHO WE ARE

Built to remove
friction from trade.

A supply-chain integrator working to connect global production
capacity with American job sites.

Garland & Zhang specializes in direct manufacturer sourcing and Free Trade Zone–enabled logistics for U.S. government and private contractors.

We connect global production capacity to American job sites through a structured network of international and domestic trade zones, bonded transport partners, and long-standing manufacturer relationships.

Our mission is to make global procurement cleaner, faster, and more cost-effective. By integrating U.S. Free Trade Zones with trade zones abroad, we work toward tariff-advantaged pathways for moving goods into and out of the United States.

02 / FAITH & FOUNDATION

Founded on faith.
Held to a higher standard.

Garland & Zhang is a family company, and it is a company of faith. Our emblem carries the words Jesus is the King — the conviction that shapes how we deal with people, and the standard we hold ourselves to when a transaction is difficult.

We understand business as stewardship. Materials are moved for a purpose; land, capital, and relationships are held in trust; and the people at both ends of a supply chain are neighbours, not line items. That is why we build long-term U.S. ownership rather than short-term extraction, and why we would rather slow a transaction down than misrepresent one.

Faith here is not a marketing position, and it is not a test for working with us: partners are treated the same whether an order is large or small.

03 / HOW MATERIALS MOVE

One coordinated
pathway.

Five stages, from the origin manufacturer
through trade-zone entry to the job site.

01 ↗

Consolidation at origin

Materials are consolidated at the manufacturing source instead of passing through layers of intermediaries.

02 ↗

Bonded export

Shipments move through international Free Trade Zone corridors under bonded arrangements.

03 ↗

Contracted transport

Ocean, rail, and road capacity is contracted with international carriers for the full route.

04 ↗

U.S. trade-zone entry

Eligible movements are structured for trade-zone processing, subject to applicable rules and approvals.

05 ↗

Delivery to the job site

Door-to-door delivery to contractor job sites, with consolidated documentation and reporting.

WHY IT MATTERSFewer intermediaries.
Clearer supply lines.
04 / WHY THE MODEL MATTERS

Less friction between
factory and site.

01

Why our model matters

Traditional supply chains rely on multiple intermediaries, overlapping fees, and slow customs handling. We consolidate at the source, move through bonded corridors, and deliver directly to the job site.

02

The role of Free Trade Zones

Trade zones allow materials to move with simplified customs processes and more efficient routing — valuable to contractors importing materials and to producers reaching overseas markets. Activities are prepared in anticipation of approval and commence upon issuance.

03

Global partnerships

Our supply-chain architecture is built on long-standing operational partnerships across bonded freight corridors, integrated with our trade-zone operations.

06 / GOVERNANCE & OWNERSHIP

Long-term structure.
Clear accountability.

A U.S. ownership framework designed to give partners
and agencies consistent, transparent governance.

All facilities developed under the Garland & Zhang model are held under U.S. ownership by the Garland family and its descendants under tribal trust laws.

International manufacturers lease production capacity under agreements that preserve regulatory compliance, protect operational integrity, and provide U.S. agencies and financial institutions with consistent, transparent governance.

This structure is designed so that industrial development, land stewardship, and community benefit move on the same timeline.
