Far East sourcing for turned parts

With over 20 years of sourcing, importing, stocking and distributing engineered products to industrial OEMs, Blue Diamond reckons it is perfectly positioned to meet all turned parts requirements.

Over the last 10 years it has become increasingly clear that many UK manufacturers using turned parts have been exploring ways to remain globally competitive. 

Engineered turned parts have long been recognised as major contributors to the cost of the finished products. However, many company engineers and buyers find the prospect of sourcing parts from low cost bases such as Taiwan and China daunting, and faced with a lack of knowledge, experience and company infrastructure, have been unable to take advantage of these lower unit costs.

Blue Diamond, based near Southampton, can offer UK companies the perfect solution to this problem.

With over 20 years of expertise in sourcing, importing, stocking and distributing a wide variety of engineered products to industrial OEMs, Blue Diamond is perfectly positioned to meet all possible turned parts requirements.

Batch sizes range from one-off prototypes, through to annual runs counted in millions.

Components are supplied in all materials, from plastics, through brass and bronze, to alloy and stainless steels, and in all sizes, from the smallest pins to large machined castings.

All parts are sourced from leading manufacturers, employing the latest CNC technologies and equipment, and customers can be confident that they will receive product of the highest quality at an extremely competitive price.

Blue Diamond will also assist with the design process, whether for a new application or for engineering cost out of an existing product.

Their employees include a former director of a UK turned parts subcontractor, with over 10 years experience in the manufacture of precision components.

Many customers also take advantage of the company's stockholding facilities - parts are stored in the fully computerised UK warehouse and remain available for immediate call-off as required.

Kanban and JIT deliveries are also offered.
