Partnership questions

How we work together.

What happens after an introduction?

We discuss your capabilities and suitability for the requirements we are sourcing. Partner selection is specific to the project, including technical fit, quality expectations and delivery needs.

Does joining guarantee order volume?

Project opportunities depend on customer demand and manufacturing fit. Scope, price and delivery terms are agreed for each project.

Can a specialist in one process join?

Yes. A focused machining, finishing, fabrication, additive or metrology capability can be valuable when it matches a customer requirement.

How do you handle commercial and design information?

Confidentiality expectations and permitted use of drawings are agreed before sharing project information. Customer-specific files and partner commercial details do not belong on the public website.
