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 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 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:
