When Mark Garson founded Blulabs in the 1970s, the idea of a globally connected economy was in its infancy. Mark was a true visionary, among the first Western entrepreneurs to build bridges with China, sourcing and manufacturing products for iconic American brands like Harley-Davidson and Skechers. His pioneering spirit laid the foundation for what Blulabs would become: a full-service supply chain powerhouse. 

A Full-Service Supply Chain Powerhouse 

Over the decades, Blulabs has evolved into a comprehensive supply chain platform, offering services from design and development to global logistics and sales. But Blulabs isn’t just about providing solutions—it’s about being a lifeline in times of crisis. 

Rising to the Challenge: COVID-19 and Beyond 

The COVID-19 pandemic tested global supply chains like never before, but Blulabs’ deep-rooted partnerships in Asia turned challenge into opportunity. The company became the leading U.S. supplier of nitrile gloves, delivering over $200 million in critical supplies to communities in dire need. When the 2021 supply chain crisis hit, Blulabs didn’t hesitate to step in once again, ensuring major American companies—like airlines—could keep operations running smoothly. 

For instance, when American Airlines faced an urgent need for beverage cups, Blulabs delivered 60 million units in just weeks. This relentless commitment to problem-solving has earned the company a reputation as more than a supplier—it’s a rescue organization. 

Innovating for a Sustainable Future 

Blulabs’ commitment extends far beyond immediate solutions. The company is at the forefront of sustainability, introducing innovations to reduce single-use plastics and foam in the global marketplace. One of their crowning achievements? Partnering with Delta Airlines to design and produce a groundbreaking plastic-free cup. 

This isn’t just any cup—it’s a game-changer. Certified plastic-free, home and industrial compostable, recyclable, and forestry-certified, this cup sets the gold standard for sustainability. Its clever engineering ensures it meets the unique demands of in-flight service, with easy one-hand nesting and efficient stackability. 

Thanks to this innovation, Delta Airlines has removed over 7 million pounds of plastic from circulation annually. It’s a small cup with a massive impact, embodying Blulabs’ dedication to creating solutions that benefit both business and the planet. 

Addressing Tariffs with Vertical Supply Solutions 

As global supply chains face new challenges, including the looming threat of tariffs, Blulabs is once again stepping up to help. Tariffs can disrupt pricing and availability for businesses, but our diversified supply chain and vertical supply model provide a reliable solution. By sourcing from multiple countries—like Vietnam, Thailand, and Mexico—and owning key factories, Blulabs minimizes risk and maximizes efficiency for our partners. 

This proactive approach ensures that businesses can navigate tariff challenges while maintaining competitive pricing and dependable supply. Whether it’s securing materials, streamlining logistics, or offering innovative solutions, Blulabs provides stability in uncertain times. 

Built on Integrity and Innovation 

From its early days to its role as a modern supply chain leader, Blulabs remains a family business fueled by integrity, innovation, and a relentless drive to serve its partners. Mark Garson’s vision continues to inspire every step, pushing the company to deliver excellence and lead the global transition to a more sustainable future. 

As Blulabs looks to the horizon, its mission is clear: to keep rescuing businesses, communities, and the environment, one innovative solution at a time. 

Because at Blulabs, we don’t just solve problems—we create progress.
