New Markets for Our Products
-
Re-posting Hi We are a trading company supplying metal products for mainly automotive use to markets in Europe and USA. These metal products are sourced from China/India/Korea. Our USP is low cost sourcing and breadth and scope of supply chain services. We can design the part, source it, ship it, chase it, customs clear it and deliver it to the customer. Current customers include tractor manufacturers, truck transmission manufacturers, construction equipment manufacturers, street furniture wholesalers, precision automotive parts fabricators et al. Our parts are proprietary, i.e. they are made for the specific model of truck, tractor or whatever, manufactured by our Customer - they are not generic parts although we do supply some nuts and bolts which are. The materials we supply are iron, ductile iron, steel, stainless Steel and aluminium amongst others. This might be in the form of castings, machined castings, forgings, die castings, fabrications etc. We are looking for new customers in Europe, Canada, North and South America. These customers may not be in the automotive sector. There may be market sectors out there that we have not thought to consider. As an example it may be that the medical sector might take stainless steel parts. We are looking for research which might identify markets for our metal products that we have not recognised or considered up until now. We are also looking for more logistics customers i.e. moving goods around and maybe storing them in our warehouse, but this is not the priority. The answer I am looking for is a list of market sectors as opposed to Customers. Industries and markets that would potentially use metal products in some way. Is this an area that you can help us with? If so, what would be your fee? What additional information would you require? Many thanks in advance for your help. Best Regards Mikejr
