… Because we know what it means to be “down”
We understand what it means to be shut-down.
The Story of Pine Belt industrial starts in 1989 as the offshoot of Gadsden Industrial Distributors. We were created to serve a very specific customer in a very specific way. A decade later, when that customer decided to take a different approach to their supply chain, PBIS was left in no position to succeed.
The owners, John and Sharon Hyde, decided not to let that happen.
Jay Hyde had been working at PBIS when this happened. Abandoned by all but 1 employee (even our delivery driver left), John and Sharon dispatched their youngest son, Josh, to reinforce Jay’s efforts to keep PBIS solvent. Joined By Jay’s wife, Kimberly, they made the best of an ugly situation.
Determined to keep PBIS in business, John allowed his 2 sons as much freedom as they needed to evolve into a business that brings, knowledge, professionalism, and quality products to South Mississippi manufacturing facilities.
Now covering from “Waynesboro to Woodville” (and beyond), PBIS strives to not just sell products, but honest solutions to problems. There are plenty of problems in any manufacturing plant and we want to eliminate them one at a time. This provides profitability for expansion of the plants, which we hope expands our business along the way.
We have had the pleasure of seeing many of our customers grow in South Mississippi and we like to think we had a small part in that growth, not just in the individual factories, but in the manufacturing base of South Mississippi, too.
There is no reason you should be seeing the same mechanical disruptions like they’re on a schedule. Let us help FIX the problem and stop paying someone else who simply wants to profit of the problem.
We are truly here to help.
