A Spotlight On 20 Thrilling Years

Twenty years. Two decades. 7,305 days.

That’s how long it takes to prune a Bonsai tree into art, barrel a single malt scotch worth savoring, and grow a child into an adult who knows what they’re doing (most days). Greatness doesn’t just happen on its own, and neither does a legacy brand. It has to be earned.

The mastery that has made BuyHeatShrink.com took time, intentional repetition, careful decisions, uncompromising work ethic, a passion for plastics, oh…and a fall off a roof.

Looking Back At How It All Began

BuyHeatShrink.com didn’t start in a boardroom. It started in a bedroom with a broken leg after founder Marc Savoy fell off his roof in 2005 during Hurricane Wilma. This business wasn’t started by accident, but there was definitely an accident involved.

Marc likes to aim bigger, see bigger, and think bigger. And so he started from the ground up…literally. Rethinking the way businesses bring their products to the public. Reimagining the way plastics can be marketed and used in industries across the country. Strategizing, scaling, and securing the belief that heat shrink could be something more.

So, broken leg and all, he bought a computer, QuickBooks, Dreamweaver, some inventory, and never looked back.

What began in his bedroom expanded into his basement. Then, quietly but quickly spread to a warehouse that he outgrew in just three years. Until Marc and his brand finally found their way to their current home, a sprawling 5,000 sq/ft warehouse in Pompano Beach, Florida.

A Spark. A Story. Our Legend.

What 20 Years Has Taught Us

As BuyHeatShrink.com celebrates its 20th anniversary, we don’t want fanfare or nostalgia. We want our customers to know what really matters–to us and for you.

Because 20 years is plenty of time to learn what works, what lasts, what you believe in, and what matters the most. Here are some of the beliefs that have shaped us along the way.

Growth Was Never About Us–It Was Always About Them

The idea was never to go viral. It was to be valuable.

We didn’t set out to “make it” in this industry. We set out to make something that mattered, something that businesses needed. Marc didn’t build for recognition. He built because something was missing. He saw gaps, ran numbers, tested ideas, and found ways companies could grow bigger and faster. Expansion wasn’t about ego or visibility. It was about solving problems, sourcing smarter, and serving customers first–because if businesses aren’t built like that, they’re built wrong.

Customers aren’t an afterthought. They’re the framework. So Marc, armed with a mindset of growth and deep understanding of what customers actually need and want, decided it was time to do it on his own. He started BuyHeatShrink.com with an idea not just to serve customers but to stock for them.

Now, with an inventory of over 12,000 different products, as Marc likes to say, “If you want it, chances are it’s on my shelves.”

Start Lean, But Think Long

Plastics aren’t just a material that makes products at BuyHeatShrink.com. They’re Marc’s passion. From a childhood fascination to a B.S. in chemical engineering to additives and R&D, Marc has spent his life thinking about plastics. Turns out durability, versatility, and resilience don’t just make plastics awesome, they make an awesome business.

Lasting 20 years isn’t about being splashy; it’s about being strong and consistent. BuyHeatShrink.com stocks smarter, sources deeper, and keeps its shelves packed full so suppliers and shoppers alike know they can count on us to have what they need. That’s why we’re still standing after two decades…because long-term success, reliability, and trust are earned one product and one customer at a time.

We don’t just sell products here. We know plastics. And we love them almost as much as we love our customers.

Certifications Aren’t Extras–They’re Minimum Standards

Knowing plastics means knowing what makes them last, what makes them good, and what makes them work for you. Safety, performance, reliability, and the ability to withstand extreme conditions, wear, and stress. That’s what certified products mean. They meet all the right regulations and pass rigorous testing before being awarded as UL, RoHS, or MIL-SPEC.

From aerospace and defense to manufacturing and medical to heavy-duty construction and industrial equipment, you need to trust your products. These certifications aren’t just badges–they’re proof. Proof that our products are built to last, perform, and protect.

BuyHeatShrink.com has earned UL, RoHS, and MIL-SPEC ratings because we believe in showing, not telling, people that quality products aren’t the final polish. They’re the starting point.

Make Speed Part of the Service

We stock our shelves with exceptional products. The moment your order hits your hands, it gets a new life. It becomes part of your project, your work, your home, and your day-to-day. It becomes a bigger idea, a better solution, and a tool that helps you build what matters most to you. For all the right reasons, shipping speed is a commitment, not a perk. It’s how we do business.

At BuyHeatShrink.com, we pride ourselves on fast shipping. We are responsive, accurate, and prompt because waiting isn’t an option when the job is on the line. We move fast, so you can, too. Delivering the right products, at the right time, every time.

People Matter More Than Product

We deliver great products that great people rely on. We stock the right inventory with the right certifications. But the business we’ve built over the last two decades is built on relationships. It’s crafted from dedicated connections with vendors, suppliers, employees, and customers.

From the ships and trucks that carry our products to every in-house heat shrink tubing cut we make to all the shelves we stock, BuyHeatShrink.com runs on long-standing relationships. This business isn’t a one-trick pony; it’s full of hard-working hands that show up day in and day out, year after year, and support us with effort, service, and loyalty.

For 20 years, our founder and president, Marc Savoy, has stood behind his company because he understands that the people matter more than the product. That mindset shapes everything we do, every decision we make, and every customer we serve. It’s why our customers keep coming back. It’s why our vendors rely on us. And it’s why we’ve built something that lasts–not just with deep industry knowledge and product expertise, but with accountability and real-world relationships with real people.

Materials change. Technology evolves. Industries demand more. Needs escalate. We know all of that and embrace the pace, but we also know that people trust us to do business the right way, so that’s how we’ve been doing business for the last 20 years.

And that’s what we’ll keep doing for the next 20 years, too.

What’s Next For BuyHeatShrink

Back in 2005, BuyHeatShrink.com was nothing more than an idea and a guy with a broken leg determined to make something bigger.

It all started with a man who loves plastics. Who loved expanding his knowledge of plastics and the inventory, size, and profits of one company after another. There were no boardrooms or fancy investors, but there was a hurricane. There was a vision. And then there was a fall from a roof and an idea…the possibility to grow and scale a business of his own, from the ground up.

From a bedroom office to a basement bursting at the seams to expanding warehouses chock-full of all the right inventory, BuyHeatShrink grew. We adapted. We defined ourselves by persistence, purpose, and people-first sales. And we have no intention of changing how we do things.

We will continue to hold a relentless belief in stocking quality products and serving people with the highest standards. We will continue to be present for our customers–helpful, honest, and hard-working. Because what started as a bold bet on plastics has become a business we love and built to last–on reliability, relationships, and a resilience to withstand whatever comes next.

Twenty years is a big milestone. It’s taught us a lot. It’s proof that when you believe in something–and the people you do it with–you can build something worth keeping, worth pruning, worth savoring, and worth choosing every day.

Greatness never comes easy, but this business is a legacy we’ve been building for the last 20 years. And we look forward to serving you for many, many more.
