Barbaras Development Inc. owns and operates DirecTex and DirecSource. Together they take a product from raw material to the customer's door, under one company and one line of accountability.
We believe in a more human approach to business. Our origins are in supplying components to US factories, just in time and at great value. Today we manage every aspect of development and supply chain for brands that would rather focus on innovation and sales.
DirecTex supplies the materials and components. DirecSource develops, sources, oversees production and delivers. Both are divisions of Barbaras Development Inc., run by one management team.
DirecTex works directly with US and Mexican manufacturers, without distributors, markups or delays. A dedicated account team, vendor-managed inventory and point-to-point fulfilment to the production line.
DirecSource manages global sourcing, design, product development, compliance and production oversight. It then consolidates, ships and fulfils to retailers and consumers, including EDI and 3PL.
Our customers build from a menu of services and solutions to get exactly what they want. One stage or all four, delivered by the division best placed to carry it.
Supplying the building blocks of your products.
Every stage from first specification to production-ready.
If we can't make it, we find someone who can. Our own plants in Hermosillo, Mexico and Cambodia, and more than 650 verified factories.
Delivering your products to the world from warehouses in the US, Mexico, China and Vietnam.
We work with the factories ourselves. No layers of distributors, no stacked markups, and no waiting on someone else's supplier.
We began by supplying US factories on a just-in-time basis. Vendor-managed inventory is where the company started, not a service we added later.
More than 650 verified factories in 9 countries, warehouses on both sides of the Pacific, and our own staff in the plants with digital inspection tools that capture data our customers can act on.
More than thirty years of soft goods, hard goods and the components inside them. These are the categories our divisions work in most.
Our customers include Camping World, DonJoy, Boon and Blue Compass RV. From 2004 to 2019 we also owned and built the Petunia Pickle Bottom and MOBY brands, running product, manufacturing and fulfilment end to end before selling them.
Newbury Park, California is home. Our divisions operate across the United States, Mexico and China, with our own manufacturing in Hermosillo and Cambodia and warehouses in four countries.
