MFG serves as a dynamic platform facilitating seamless connections between buyers seeking custom parts and manufacturers specializing in custom part production.
Through our comprehensive manufacturer directory and streamlined Request for Quote (RFQ) process, we deliver substantial value to our buyers. By eliminating the time-consuming task of vetting manufacturers, we empower buyers with competitive quotes for their custom part requests. Simultaneously, our tools optimize the experience for manufacturers, enabling them to efficiently and economically discover new customers.
MFG has three key components that assist buyers and manufacturers in finding and working with each other efficiently:
-
Manufacturer Directory
The Manufacturer Directory is a listing of global manufacturers. Buyers can search and browse profiles, then reach out to those they believe best fit their needs. Manufacturers can be discovered based on capabilities, certifications, and location. Create a free directory profile or start browsing to find a manufacturer match!
-
RFQ Marketplace
If you are looking to get a custom part manufactured, submitting a Request for Quote is the best way to quickly reach the right manufacturers. Once a buyer submits the details of their project, they will receive quotes from manufacturers around the world, or within the geography they specify.
In fact, our buyers receive an average of four quotes from US manufacturers alone! With one of our paid memberships, qualified manufacturers are able to respond to RFQs and deliver their quote for the work.
-
