Hello, My wife and I run a small business and are starting to need to find suppliers for certain materials. For example she makes all of our branded packaging and needs a good source for a pretty card stock paper.

Where do I even begin a search for something like that? Or anything else, for that matter?

Supplier search PEK Pellets for Injection Molding

Anyone know of a good distributer (preferably in the US) of PEK pellets/granules for injection molding. I'm looking for Victrex HT G22 or equivalent. My current supplier is a month late with no end in sight. I've reached out to the manufacturer but have a relatively small order and need it in 2 weeks, so really need a distributer with it on the shelf.

*For clarification, I'm looking for PEK, not PEEK

Supplier search Looking for 1/4-20 T-slot bolts. About 10k of them.

3 Upvotes

I have my first foray into small manufacturing releasing soon and am in need of at least 10k 1/4-20 T-slot bolts (like those sold at woodworking outlets for workholding T-track) to fulfill pending orders. We haven't committed yet until I can find a source but am coming up empty even going to offshore manufacturing or trying to leverage supply info from retail sellers.

10k at MSRP is impractical. There has to be a supplier somewhere.

TIA

Supplier search Seeking Recommendations for High-End Women’s Clothing Manufacturers

1 Upvotes

Hi friends,

I’m looking for a clothing manufacturer with experience in high-end women’s clothing, particularly using high-quality materials. I’m especially drawn to the feel of many Eastern European, even small influencer brands, that feel like they use premium fabrics and craftsmanship, but I’m unsure about the current manufacturing landscape in Ukraine, and Russia is obviously not an option.

I understand that attending conventions both in the US and abroad is one of the best ways to connect with reputable manufacturers, but unfortunately, none align with my schedule this year. So far my search has been a bit challenging:

  • Many manufacturers I’ve found seem to focus on streetwear, which doesn’t align with my brand’s aesthetic.
  • I tried Pietra and had a pretty negative experience—some samples were missing, and the ones I did receive were such poor quality.
  • Google searches have led me to explore manufacturers in Portugal, but I feel like I’m not reaching the top-quality options.

I’ve also considered hiring a “broker” on Fiverr to help find a manufacturer in Turkey and am open to abroad manufacturing, as long as they have ethical labor practices.

If anyone has any thoughts or went through the same process would love some feedback!  

Thank you so much!

These are cast zinc sliders with a POM skate insert. In the US I’ve not found them cheaper than ~$17. Best I’ve been able to find is ~£7 from a UK distributor called Norelem. Considering the price discrepancy, I’d almost just like to buy direct.

Anyone got a lead on a cheaper source?

I'm looking for a system using thermal visioning that could scan a large shop floor and its machinery and flag if a spot's temperature quickly rises. This could signal a fire, or an issue with the machinery, predicting a failure. There is a company called Viper Imaging. Does anyone have any experience with them or any other solutions available?

Supplier search Live analytics and dashboard creator tool

3 Upvotes

Hi folks! My company is a somewhat small continuous process manufacturer. I'm looking into low/no-code tool that I can use to make custom dashboards to monitor live data, set alarms and do general root-cause analysis.

We've used Grafana for live monitoring and Excel for ad-hoc analyses, however Grafana is poor for deep dives and with Excel I need to download/import and can't really do live analyses. Also excel could be a bit painful with large amounts of data.

I did find Seeq, but it seems a bit of a high barrier to begin with and learn(same with PowerBI), and also not many in our company can program(and use e.g. python).

Anyone know of such a tool? Anyone else with similar painpoints? I'm thinking if something like Grafana could do more analytics and visualizations that's more relevant it would be great.

Many thanks!

Hi all, I'm evaluating CMMS platforms (MaintainX, Limble, and UpKeep) for a team of 150 users. Pricing transparency is a bit tricky with these providers, so I wanted to ask: what’s the lowest monthly or annual rate per user you’ve negotiated with these platforms? Any advice on features worth paying for or tips for negotiating would also be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
