## **Apply to Become a Supplier: Join the Trustbridge Manufacturing Network**

Stop chasing dead-end leads. Trustbridge connects ISO-certified shops with verified buyers. We deliver production-ready CAD files directly to your inbox, so you can focus on manufacturing, not sales.

If you’re a supplier who takes pride in your work and wants to build lasting customer relationships — **not chase anonymous RFQs** — we’d love to hear from you.

### Why Top Machine Shops Choose Trustbridge

- **Vetted Engineering Data** – Never quote a bad drawing again. Our engineers review every BOM and CAD file for manufacturability before it reaches you.
- **High-Intent RFQs (No Bidding Wars)** – We don't blast RFQs to 50 shops. You compete against a small, curated pool, giving you a 3x higher win rate than public job boards.
- **Clear Communication** – Our team stays involved to make sure expectations are aligned and questions get answered.
- **Verified Corporate Buyers** – Work with funded startups and enterprise OEMs. We verify creditworthiness so you get guaranteed payment on net terms.
- **Long-Term Relationships** – Many suppliers become go-to partners for recurring work, not just one-off jobs.
- **Growth & Incentives** – Preferred partners may earn access to premium projects, referral bonuses, and even phantom equity participation in Trustbridge’s long-term growth.

### What We’re Looking For

We work with shops that are:

- Technically capable and process-driven
- Responsive and professional in communication
- Committed to quality and continuous improvement
- Comfortable working with startups _and_ enterprise customers
- Willing to be transparent about capacity, lead times, and pricing

Certifications (e.g., ISO 9001, AS9100, ITAR, ISO 13485) are **not required for all jobs**, but are preferred for work in regulated industries.

### Active Manufacturing Opportunities

We’re actively expanding our network in the following areas:

- CNC Machining: 3-Axis, 5-Axis Milling, Swiss Turning, Wire EDM.
- Sheet Metal: Laser Cutting, Press Brake Forming, Certified Welding (AWS).
- Molding: Rapid Tooling, Overmolding, compression molding.
- Advanced: Industrial 3D Printing (MJF/DMLS), Urethane Casting.

If your shop supports multiple processes or serves a niche market (e.g., aerospace, medical, robotics), let us know — we’d love to match you with the right projects.
