We have had a working relationship with FTS International and John Chiu for over 25 years. John and his employees have been an integral part of the success and growth of Custom Service Hardware. However the relationship has been more than just a “work” relationship evidenced by this fact. John has traveled with us overseas to help us discover better suppliers. Because of this and many other examples, we have always felt John and FTS is a part of our company, our family. It is that kind of relationship that is built on one simple word, Trust. - Mike Allen
