Services Offered
Material Harbor connects original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to a wide variety of suppliers, as well as connects suppliers to possible buyers. Material Harbor uses a marketplace business model to help achieve this.
Overall, manufacturers have the ability to search for various material providers across the world, either to find quick fixes for possible material shortages that will keep the manufacturing process on track, or to find a potential long-term contracted vendor for future products. Suppliers can also search for global manufacturers to help sell their products, ranging from raw materials, like aluminum sheets, to expertly machined pieces of steel, to even glass, plastic, or wood, depending on the industry.
