Nearly Five Decades of International Industrial Sourcing
H&H Exports Company, Inc. was founded in 1977 in Duluth, Minnesota and has grown into a U.S. industrial sourcing and export partner for international buyers. Peter Haines acquired the company in early 2025 and is leading its next stage of modernization and growth.
Established in 1977, focused on international industrial trade
H&H Exports Company, Inc. began in 1977 as an export house serving international buyers who needed access to U.S. industrial manufacturers and distribution channels. The company has spent nearly five decades working through the practical details of that trade: identifying part numbers, communicating with U.S. suppliers, coordinating multi-vendor shipments, preparing commercial documentation, and releasing orders to international freight.
In early 2025, Peter Haines acquired H&H and began leading its next stage of modernization — including a rebuilt digital presence, clearer service definitions, and continued focus on responsive support for the international industrial buyer.

A U.S. Procurement Partner Built for International Transactions
International buyers are often asked to send advance payment across the world to a supplier they have never met. H&H Exports Company, Inc. was established in 1977 and operates as a documented U.S. commercial entity. Every engagement follows a repeatable commercial process rather than an informal exchange.
A formal H&H commercial quotation
Manufacturer, part number, quantity, commercial terms, and shipment basis are documented in a written quotation before an order is placed.
Identifiable H&H personnel
Order communication remains with H&H personnel using the hhexports.com domain. Supplier communication associated with an accepted order is coordinated by H&H.
U.S. receiving before international shipment
The majority of goods on accepted orders are received at a designated U.S. receiving location before international shipment. Direct manufacturer shipment may be used when more practical.
Export and end-use review
Product, destination, end use, and applicable restrictions are reviewed for each order as part of H&H's ordinary business, subject to U.S. export-control and sanctions requirements.
Coordinated documentation
Commercial invoices, packing lists, and requested certificates are coordinated according to the shipment, product, manufacturer, and destination.
Consistent business identity
Legal business name, U.S. mailing address, telephone number, hhexports.com email, and 1977 founding date remain consistent across the website.
Before You Place Your First Order
- 1. Submit the manufacturer, part number, quantity, and destination.
- 2. H&H investigates availability, commercial feasibility, and export eligibility.
- 3. H&H provides its commercial quotation and applicable terms.
- 4. The buyer issues its purchase order and completes the approved payment method.
- 5. H&H coordinates procurement, receiving or direct shipment, documentation, and export shipment as applicable.
- 6. Shipment and document details are communicated according to the accepted order.
This describes a typical workflow. It is not a guarantee of availability, export eligibility, delivery, customs clearance, or admissibility in any destination country.
A U.S. sourcing and export partner for international buyers
The buyers we work with every week
International distributors
Distributors who need consolidated U.S. sourcing under one contact rather than many supplier accounts.
OEM & manufacturing facilities
OEMs sourcing production or maintenance components across several U.S. brands.
EPC & project contractors
Project teams sourcing to a bill of materials with multiple manufacturers and a defined delivery window.
Maintenance & reliability teams
Buyers investigating obsolete, discontinued, or specialized replacement components.
Procurement departments
Purchasing teams that prefer one point of contact and a single export shipment over many separate suppliers.
Industrial resellers
Resellers serving marine, railway, energy, mining, cement, petrochemical, and general industrial markets.
A practical approach to industrial trade
The value H&H offers is not scale — it is responsiveness and clarity. International buyers usually want the same set of things: a real person who reads the request, an honest reply about what is available, coordinated communication with U.S. suppliers, and paperwork that lines up with the shipment when it moves.
We do not stock every product displayed on the website, we are not an authorized distributor for every manufacturer, and we do not claim to export every product to every destination. What we do is investigate carefully, quote clearly, and coordinate the order end-to-end when it moves forward.
- Responsiveness on qualified inquiries
- Accuracy in part identification and quoting
- Clear communication across time zones
- Practical problem solving on complex RFQs
- Long-term customer relationships
- Responsible international trade
