Our Model

Garland & Zhang operates a next-generation global supply-chain model designed to move materials directly from manufacturers to contractor job sites around the world. By integrating international Free Trade Zones with U.S. FTZs under the Alternative Site Framework, we create a single, bonded logistics pathway that reduces costs, eliminates intermediaries, and accelerates delivery.

This system is optimized for the needs of SBA partners, HUBZone-aligned procurement, federal contracting officers, and commerce departments around the world who require predictable costs, transparent sourcing, and reliable supply lines.

The Garland & Zhang model is built on a foundation of direct manufacturer sourcing, bonded logistics, and tariff-advantaged global routing through Free Trade Zones.

• Source at Origin: Materials consolidated directly at the manufacturer.
• International FTZ Import and Export: Goods move through bonded trade zones abroad.
• Logistics: Transport via secure bonded corridors (ocean, rail, and road).
• FTZ Entry: Tariff-advantaged import and export under the individual country frameworks.
• Domestic Distribution: Expedited customs clearance and shipment to final job sites

This seamless flow minimizes friction, reduces landed costs, and provides predictable scheduling for contractors working on federal and private-sector projects.

Garland & Zhang is building a unified FTZ network that connects production centers globally directly with G & Z Free Trade Zones. This approach creates bi-directional trade pathways that are tariff-free, customs-efficient, and optimized for government and private procurement needs.

These linked zones allow for the free movement of materials into and out of global markets without the delays, duties, and costs typically associated with cross-border commerce.

• International FTZ partners at major export points
• Integration with U.S. FTZs for tariff-free entry
• Bi-directional movement: imports and exports
• Reduced customs friction and lower overall landed cost
• Precise tracking and compliance throughout the pipeline

Many global commodity pipelines — particularly in grain, soybeans, and minerals — rely on outdated handling systems that introduce contamination, cost, and delay. Garland & Zhang is modernizing these systems using a cleaner model with advanced quality controls.

By transporting these materials through bonded zones and modern logistics corridors, we can deliver significantly cleaner and more consistent products to buyers, including government contractors and private-sector industrial clients.

• Cleaner grain and soybean movements
• Low-contamination mineral transport
• Door-to-door shipment with reduced handling
• Faster delivery cycles
• Lower cost compared to conventional agricultural supply chains

By removing intermediaries and moving materials through Free Trade Zones, we reduce shipping costs, customs expenses, and tariff exposure. This enables contractors to expand margins, strengthen bids, and improve project viability.

Our integrated FTZ model is designed to help usher in a new “golden age” of tariff-free global trade — one where materials move more quickly, more cleanly, and at significantly lower cost.

Garland & Zhang’s model aligns directly with national procurement frameworks and, in the U.S., HUBZone participation. We focus on supplying cost-effective materials to government and private contractors and SBA partners who must operate within strict budgetary and compliance structures.

• HUBZone-certified
• Designed for SBA procurement alignment
• Cost transparency for federal contracting
• Streamlined compliance documentation
• Reliable, predictable supply-line operations

Garland & Zhang has secured commitments for an unprecedented manufacturing expansion in the United States: more than 5,000 light-manufacturing factories and associated shopping centers prepared to begin construction as soon as our Free Trade Zone designation is approved. These facilities are part of a coordinated initiative to relocate global production capacity into the U.S., under Made in America rules and without tariff exposure.

This initiative is fully funded through a consortium of international financial institutions—working through U.S.-domesticated conventional banking channels. Financing is already in place and expandable. Additional private-equity participation is also available for co-development and partnership structures.

To prepare for rapid deployment, our partners formed a dedicated outreach group that has been contacting large manufacturers directly. Many of these companies have already submitted preliminary documentation and expressed readiness to relocate or expand operations within the United States. Garland & Zhang is holding these commitments in reserve until the ASF Free Trade Zone approval is finalized.

Working with the world’s largest logistics and supply-chain operators G & Z will coordinate factory onboarding, transportation integration, and door-to-door supply chain continuity. Their leadership teams have reviewed our Free Trade Zone framework and confirmed full operational and financial alignment.

This initiative is further supported by private equity ivestment, as well as mineral and resource projects under evaluation around the world, all designed to secure long-term supply chain resilience for participating industries.

Once the ASF Free Trade Zone is granted, construction and deployment will begin immediately.

Garland & Zhang is also actively developing multiple FTZ-linked supply-chain projects tailored to U.S. contractor needs. These include:

• International FTZ-to-U.S. FTZ corridors for construction materials
• Grain and soybean modernization pipelines
• Mineral and metals transport routes
• Integrated job-site delivery programs for government contractors
• Bonded logistics channels for industrial and infrastructure project

We anticipate rapid expansion of our FTZ partnerships as more countries adopt bonded logistics frameworks and seek tariff-advantaged access to U.S. markets. Garland & Zhang will continue to build the international links needed to support faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective global trade.

Our goal is not simply to operate within existing supply chains, but to help build the next generation of them. Currently, we have:

• Multiple HUBZone communities under review
• Locations selected for logistics and transportation access
• Strong interest from manufacturers seeking U.S. and North American entry
• Scalable model adaptable to regional needs

G&Z is developing parallel pathways for expansion into Canada through aligned industrial and trade-zone frameworks. These efforts allow international manufacturers to access North American markets through multiple entry points and support a unified cross-border development strategy.
