About Us
Starborn Industries, Inc. is a leading innovator and distributor of building materials, in particular, fasteners. Over the last decade, we have earned a reputation for bringing new ideas and fresh thinking to highly commoditized businesses. These new ideas are brought to the market in the form of new products and innovations for existing products.
Our HEADCOTE® stainless steel deck screws with color coated heads, for example, created an entire new category in deck fasteners.
SMART-BIT®, our pre-drilling and countersinking tool for decks and woodworking, has been recognized as a remarkable time-saver and is being sold nationally at Sears.
And this year, we are launching a new line of composite screws with our TransVerse™ threading that out-perform any other composite screw on the market.
We have many patents both granted and pending and the company holds numerous trademarks.
At Starborn, the same thinking that goes into our products goes into our product support. We understand that our customers have customers so we design marketing programs and packaging that make our products easy to buy at the wholesale level and easy to sell at the retail level.
Company History
Founded in Brooklyn, New York in 1961, Starborn Industries, Inc. originally owned and operated a wood products factory. In the early 1980s fasteners became the primary focus of the company, as drywall screws emerged as a construction fastener. Since the late 1980s the company has expanded its product lines while creating, designing and bringing to market its own fastener and fastener-related products specially created for the deck construction market.
Starborn was one of the first companies to recognize that decks have evolved into individualized statements of modern residential living and that the quality of a deck fastener plays an essential role in the stability, the finish and the longevity of a deck.
Since 1961 the company has grown from a strong local and regional player to an established national provider. In recent years Starborn has also recognized a demand for its products internationally and is now distributing in Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, the Caribbean and Australia.
Starborn Industries, Inc. is located in Avenel, New Jersey in a state-of-the-art warehouse and distribution facility. In addition to the warehouse and fulfillment staff, Starborn has a full service sales and marketing department.
Starborn Industries, Inc. is an independent, second generation family-owned and -operated business.
