PARK CITY, Utah -- Dominion Sample recently opened manufacturing warehouses in Charlotte, North Carolina, and in Tijuana, Mexico.

Officials say this move shelves any worries about the latest tariffs on goods from China by President Trump’s administration.

The U.S. largest trading partners are now Mexico and Canada so far this year, edging out China, according to the Wallstreet Journal.

Ben Mazor, Dominion account executive, says the warehouses’ locations had more to do with geography than tariff wars.

“We’re trying to have one-stop shopping,” says Mazor, who attended the National Association of Decorative Fabrics Distributors (NADFD) conference on June 23-26.

SI Corporate, which is the parent company of Dominion, is privately held with 500 to 1,000 employees, according to the company’s LinkedIn profile, and its headquarters is in Montreal, Canada. Also in Montreal, Dominion Sample designs and manufactures sampling and sales tools, especially in wallcoverings and textiles.

Overall, SI Corporate specializes in sample products, swatch cards and books, library sets, and custom presentation boards, among other fulfillment products. SI has other specialized businesses including:
 
  • Fulfillment Solutions, which is in Charlotte, North Carolina, specializes in order processing, freight, and system integration, among other fulfillment functions;
  • Sampling International, which is in Irvine, California, has produced custom sampling tools for more than 30 years;
  • Tactic (Sampling Products), which is in Saint-Georges, Canada, produces sample products for the building industry.
SI Fulfillment Solutions more than tripled its space by expanding into the Charlotte warehouse of 117,000 square feet.

“Our clients needed space,” Mazor says. “[These warehouses] make it easier logistically.”
