Vendor-Managed Inventory
When you’re purchasing for a large contract spanning several years, you need to make sure that products will be available on time, exactly when you need them. At New Source, we’re proud to partner with major players in the defense and aviation industries to service these contracts through vendor-managed inventory.
With vendor-managed inventory, we house and manage large volumes of aerospace grade aluminum extrusion stock for you, meaning we can package and ship them out exactly when you need them from one of our bicoastal warehouses. No extra time for manufacturing is required, saving you many headaches down the road.
Managed Processing Capabilities
We work with experienced manufacturers to provide solutions for additional processing services to suit your needs, including:

Get your metals processed with precision. Our industry partners cut, mill, punch, or shape your metal to deliver the end pieces you need based on the durability and malleability of the alloy.
-
Materials Testing
Ensure your aerospace grade aircraft extrusion aluminum and other metal products meet performance standards by sending us a sample of your chosen metal for physical and chemical testing performed by our trusted vendors.
-
Precision Grinding Saw
State-of-the-art precision grinding saws can shave your alloy sheet or plate down to your required specification to meet your exact needs.
-
Cutting
Get your metal bars cut to specific custom lengths with a cut-to-length service that meets your exact design needs without having to go elsewhere for finishing.
-
Shearing
Your sheet metal can be brought to the exact dimensions through precision shearing, including trimming excess metal while avoiding jagged edges and buckling.
-
Trepanning
Custom tubes for aerospace grade aluminum and other metal designs are engineered using precise trepanning equipment to drill through metal bars without destroying the removed material.
-
Waterjet Cutting
Intricate design work like notches and holes is completed to your exact specifications through waterjet cutting, delivering custom parts while maintaining tight tolerances.
