About Us

Cleveland, Ohio • Established 2009

Built from the ground up.
Built to keep businesses moving.

supplyhut has grown from a $300 startup into a packaging, manufacturing, eCommerce and fulfillment operation serving customers across the United States and around the world.

Our story

It started with $300 and a trunk full of inventory.

In late 2009, InkStop entered bankruptcy and began liquidating stores. At 18 years old and attending college, Charlie Schilla used a $300 credit card to buy inventory from a local liquidation, loaded it into his car and listed the products on eBay.

That first $300 purchase sold for approximately $1,800. The proceeds went directly back into more inventory, and the process repeated. What began as a small resale operation became a growing eCommerce business and eventually required dedicated warehouse space.

Over time, supplyhut expanded from reselling into packaging distribution, manufacturing and fulfillment—while keeping the same focus on finding better ways to source, produce, pack and ship.

Manufacturing begins
We purchased our first bubble mailer manufacturing line and began producing packaging ourselves, marking supplyhut's expansion from distribution into manufacturing.
