Tri-Boro Shelving & Partition

What Tri-Boro Shelving & Partition does

Tri-Boro Shelving & Partition Corporation is a privately-held American manufacturer of steel storage and material handling solutions, founded in 1937 and headquartered at 300 Dominion Drive in Farmville, Virginia, where it operates a single integrated facility handling fabrication, welding, powder coating, and assembly. The company is organized into two primary divisions — a Shelving Division producing light to medium-duty steel shelving and the boltless "Rivet Rak" system, and a Rack Division producing heavy-duty RMI-compliant and R-Mark certified pallet racking — supplemented by a Shop Products line covering workbenches, mobile carts, shop desks, storage cabinets, and accessories such as bin dividers, shelf drawer units, deck panels, and slotted angle.

Its core technology centers on cold-rolled steel construction finished through a proprietary powder-coat process using rust-resistant phosphatized cleaning, electrostatic application, and a continuous curing oven to produce a durable, uniform surface. Pallet rack products are engineered to RMI standards with R-Mark certification, and the Rivet Rak line uses boltless interlocking beam and upright assembly that ships ready-to-assemble with minimal hardware. The product portfolio is documented across detailed PDF catalogs and a structured website with end-user and dealer Quick Quote forms.

Tri-Boro sells primarily through two channels — direct manufacturer sales to end users and a nationwide network of material handling dealers and distributors — supported by quote-based project pricing, consistent U.S.-based lead times, and active participation in industry trade shows including MHEDA and MODEX. Customer segments span warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, commercial and industrial operations, and food production facilities, with no disclosed revenue, headcount, or institutional ownership. The company operates under long-term family ownership of over 55 years with no venture, private equity, or public shareholders disclosed in available sources.
