I am a buyer for Sandvik Mining and Construction, Driltech, located in
North Central Florida. We are currently looking to expand our fabricator
supply base because we are beginning to experience "on time delivery" issues
with our current
small parts requirements suppliers. In the past week I have sent out over
200 new parts for quoting to my regular supplier base and I am simply not
getting quotes back. We have a fantastic group of suppliers working with us
but our demand is simply outgrowing our supply base. I have 15 suppliers
that I use for these small parts currently and I need a minimum of 2 more
medium/large shops. To be very clear, we are not looking to replace any of
our current suppliers, we need additional capacity. Most of you are
probably familiar with our company thru machine shop cutting tools. I work
for the Mining and Construction division but the parent company is Sandvik.
We have over 30,000 part numbers, which go into our rigs. I am responsible
for app. 10,000 of those. They range from a part, which will fit in the palm
of your hand to parts that an entire NFL team can stand on along with their
cheerleader squads.
These facilities would have to have both fabricating and machining
capabilities. No overhead crane requirements. My perfect shop would be one
with:
Minimum of $1 million in gross annual sales (I am restricted to being no
more than 20% of a suppliers business)
10+ certified welders AWS D1.1
Multiple welding stations
Shape making capabilities (Oxy,Laser, and/or Waterjet) plate sizes 16 gage -
6" thick
Plate bending
Iron Working machine
Large Radial Drill Press (not that important)
CNC Mills
Large CNC Horizontal mill (This would be a tremendous plus with min 47" on
X, 44" on Y, potential for a particular gear box product line)
CNC lathes (large and small)
Manual drills
Manual mills
Manual lathes
App. workforce of 15+ shop floor personnel
Located in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, North Carolina, in
that order preferred but will consider elsewhere. (Shipping charges would
become a big issue on these smaller parts)
This is a lot of information I realize, I am not restricted to this size
shop but it is in my best interest to locate 2 shops at least this size that
have capacity available. I can not consider any 3 and 4 man shops or "start
up" companies. The 20% rule excludes them, I am sorry. So, if you have a
lead on a shop, which fits this description, please contact me at jerryfr40
at yahoo. com or phone me at 352-317-0096. If you would like to see a
couple photos of a couple of
our larger fabrications and to get more information on larger fab shops
which we are also seeking I have set up a webpage you can check out. It is
located at http://www.jerryhoush.com .
We are also in need of 2 large fabrication shops for the parts shown on that
website. These shops would have to have a minimum of 2 five ton overhead
cranes to handle the fabrications. The largest fab that we have for these
type facilities would weigh appx 55,000 pounds.
I CAN NOT deal with any paid manufacturing representative firms.
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Jerry Housh

Everyone in the fabrication industry has seen your posts. Those who
have made a business decision not to respond, are not going to change
their minds. Anything posted on the internet gets preserved forever.
Your greatgrandchildren will be reading your garbage in their old age.
Enough! Cease and desist.
On rec.crafts.metalworking you were directed to a fabrication shop
capable of servicing your needs. You would be wise to heed that
advice.

Please log in for more thread options I was also directed to this group. I was told, as you pointed out with your
postings of my previous posts, that I should have posted my search here in
this group. I am sorry that you considered it to be spam. I am simply trying
to find potential suppliers. This is not a con or a scam. My company truly
does need to find fabrication suppliers. Thru my posts I have been received
very good leads for a couple of shops. The one that you refer to does not do
the type work, large precision fabrications, that we have to place. They
were a structural shop. I did follow up on that lead though.
I have been using News Groups since 1998 and I would never have considered a
search for welding businesses interested in taking in work to be spam. I
apologies if I have offended anyone here, it was not my intention. I just
thought that an employee or owner of a shop may see my posts and contact us.
Not every person reads every board. That is why I posted to any boards which
seemed to deal with welding/fabrication. To try and reach out to those
people who only read a single board.
This will be my final post here. Anyone interested in the work can still
contact me thru email or by phone. If I were trying to spam a group I most
certainly would not have posted my own personal cell phone number. This is
an honest and sincere attempt to place a very large amount of work with any
shop capable of doing it.

Jerry,
I saw NO HARM in what you done! You documented and explained yourself
very well! Some folks are just too quick to throw a stone!
Please come on back whenever you have the time to contribute to this
newsgroup. Obviously, you must have some experience with metals!

"If thy pride is sorely vexed when others disparage your offering, be
as lamb's wool is to cold rain and the Gore-tex of Odin's raiment
is to gullshit in the gale, for thy angst shall vex them not at
all. Yea, they shall scorn thee all the more. Rejoice in
sharing what you have to share without expectation of adoration,
knowing that sharing your treasure does not diminish your treasure
but enriches it."
