The Industrial Leaders Group announced today the launch of MFGmatch.net, a custom manufacturing marketplace to connect companies with machine shops and contract manufacturers. The company said the new site was launched in response of a serious need for small and medium sized job shops with limited marketing budgets to compete with larger shops with a more dominate online presence.
According to Conrad Bailey, spokesperson for MFGmatch.net, the site is designed
to help domestic and international machine
shops promote their services online while enabling those in the market for
custom manufacturing services to submit RFQ's (request for quotes) directly
to national and international manufacturers at . Bailey said the focus of the
site is on machined parts, precision components and other custom products constructed
in various metals, plastics, rubber, wood and other materials.
"MFGmatch.net was designed to include offerings for all types of services
provided by machine shops such as castings, engineering and design, fabrication,
forging, woodworking, tool and die making, prototyping, plastic and rubber parts,
molding, mold making, metal finishing, precision machining, heat treatment,
forging and other custom manufacturing solutions," said Bailey. He added,
"Industrial Leaders created the site because research has shown many smaller
shops are in need of a lead generation service they can afford and compete with
larger manufacturers that often dominate search engines and other industrial
marketplaces on the Web."
Bailey said there are existing site that charge machine shops as much as $5,000
and up annually for the privilege to access RFQ's with no guarantee of results
in terms of new customers. MFGmatch.net on the other hand is free for both the
buyer as well as the supplier. He explained, "It's a win-win situation
for everybody involved because the money saved by the machine shop that would
usually be spent on advertising can be passed on to the buyer."
