What it is

MFG.com is a web marketplace for sourcing custom metal, plastic, and rubber parts. Engineers, purchasers, and industrial designers submit requests for quotes that can reach multiple manufacturers selected by location, capabilities, and certifications. Buyers can compare responses in one dashboard, create or upload purchase orders, and receive supplier status updates after acceptance. Electronic NDAs control access to RFQ files, including an approval-before-access option. Quote Assist analyzes a manufacturer’s pricing, capabilities, and materials to produce estimates that can be reviewed and edited. Suppliers need paid MFG membership to submit marketplace quotes. MFG Materials, available only to paid suppliers, connects them with material vendors; MFG says material quotes typically arrive within 1–2 business days and offers a sourcing advisor. Buyers can pay invoices through Stripe. QuickBooks Online connection instructions require an existing Intuit subscription. Pricing is on request.
