Not a marketplace. Not a trading company. SLOOPZONE is the direct B2B channel of Sloop Spare Parts Mfg. Co., Ltd. — a steering and chassis manufacturer that has operated a single factory in Taichung, Taiwan since 1984. When you place an order, the same team that forged the part ships it.
Buying through a distributor or trading company adds cost, delays, and a second point of failure. Here is what changes when you buy from the source.
No distributor margin, no trading-company fee. You pay what the factory charges. On a USD 5,000 order that difference is real money; on a container it is significant. We don't mark up our own production.
Every order is traceable from raw material lot to outbound shipment. When you raise a quality claim, we pull the actual production batch record — not a distributor's paperwork that stops at the warehouse door.
No 'check with the factory' delays — we are the factory. Sales, engineering, production, and QC sit in the same building in Taichung. One email, one decision, one accountable party.
Taichung, Taiwan — since 1984.
Sloop was founded in Taichung in 1984 with a single focus: precision steering components for the automotive aftermarket. Over four decades the product range expanded into the full chassis linkage spectrum — tie rod ends, ball joints, control arms, stabilizer links, drag links, pitman arms, and more. The factory never moved and the ownership never changed.
Everything is manufactured in-house. No subcontracting to satellite factories. No spot-market inventory from other suppliers. Both OEM programs (your brand, your part number, our production) and ODM programs (your drawing or sample, engineered and produced here) are standard offerings — not exceptions.
ISO 9001:2008 certified and TS certified, audited by accredited third parties. D-U-N-S registered with Dun & Bradstreet — usable by your finance team as a third-party credit reference before approving a new vendor. If your compliance process needs documentation, ask: we produce it the same day.
SLOOPZONE is the direct B2B sales platform of Sloop Spare Parts Mfg. Co., Ltd., established 1984 in Taichung, Taiwan. The company manufactures steering and chassis components. SLOOPZONE is the manufacturer's own direct sales channel — not a marketplace and not an aggregator.
SLOOPZONE is the manufacturer's own platform. Sloop Spare Parts Mfg. Co., Ltd. manufactures every part at their Taichung factory and sells directly through SLOOPZONE. There are no resellers, no trading companies, no middlemen. Think of it as dell.com — Dell's own B2B platform — not a marketplace like eBay.
The manufacturer produces 12 categories: Tie Rod End, Ball Joint, Rack End, Stabilizer Link, Control Arm, Drag Link, Pitman Arm, Idler Arm, Side Rod Assy, Center Link, Inner Arm Shaft Kit, and Bell Crank. Nine categories are catalogued online with full OE cross-references; three are available on request.
Yes. Both OEM (buyer-branded, buyer's part number) and ODM (buyer-specified design or drawing) orders are accepted, subject to minimum order quantities and tooling discussions where applicable.
