Woman-Owned & Minority-Owned Certifications
SlingCenter is a Certified Woman-Owned and Minority-Owned Small Business.
SlingCenter is a certified Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and Minority-Owned Business Enterprise (MBE), qualifying federal, state, and private-sector buyers for diversity supplier program credit on every order placed with us.
Why this matters for government buyers
Federal agencies including the U.S. Department of Defense, GSA, NASA, and state/local governments have statutory set-aside targets for WOSB and MBE suppliers. When you purchase rigging hardware from SlingCenter, your spend counts toward those targets without any extra paperwork on your end — our certification is on file.
Why this matters for private-sector buyers
Major corporations — prime contractors, utilities, energy companies, manufacturers — maintain supplier diversity programs that target a percentage of annual spend with certified diverse suppliers. SlingCenter's WOSB/MBE status lets your company's supply chain team report our spend as qualifying diversity spend in your Tier 2 reports.
What we carry
We supply the full range of industrial rigging hardware from American manufacturers (Crosby, Campbell, Liftex) and premium European brands (Van Beest Green Pin, Gunnebo) — slings, shackles, hooks, hoist rings, chain components, wire rope fittings, turnbuckles, lifting clamps, load binders, arborist gear, and specialty marine/offshore hardware. Most of our in-stock catalog ships same-day.
