Why shops work with us

We bring buyers whose parts fit your shop. The rest you agree with the buyer.

Buyers who fit your shop

Requests are matched to your tank or line size, the processes and specs you run and the lot sizes you take.

Requests you can judge

Each preview shows the part, base material, finish, spec, part size and lot, so you see the fit before you pay.

The customer is yours

You quote, agree terms and deliver to the buyer directly. No commission on the order.

Want help handling overseas buyers, from the first reply to delivery? Email and we will talk it through.

What an RFQ preview looks like

Enough to judge fit, rack time and paperwork. The buyer's name, company and files are released only after you take the lead.

  4. Quote directly

    You get the buyer's contact and files and deal with them yourself.

What we match on

A finishing RFQ fails when the part does not fit the tank or the shop does not run the spec. These are the fields we check before a preview reaches you.

  • Specs you runThe standards and customer specs you already hold process control for.
  • Size limitLargest tank, barrel load or line envelope.

Questions shops ask

Is one RFQ sold to many shops?

No. Each RFQ goes to 3 shops at most, and only to shops whose process, spec approvals and tank or line size fit the part.

How much does a lead cost?

The price is on every preview, before you decide. It depends on lot size and how often the job repeats. You only pay for the leads you choose.

What if a lead is not what the preview described?

Tell us and we review it. If the buyer contact does not work or the part differs clearly from the preview, we credit the lead.

We only run one process. Is that enough?

Yes. Many RFQs need one finish on one substrate. A shop that only anodizes or only passivates gets previews for that work and nothing else.
