Personal Service

Unlike other online directories and registries,  ManufactureLink is more than just a faceless website. ManufactureLink is staffed by manufacturing and sourcing professionals who provide you with personal service and advice in sourcing your manufacturing or engineering requirements. ManufactureLink's staff make it their business to know the Australian manufacturing industry. Rather than simply provide a list of names to contact, we prefer to discuss your manufacturing needs with you and understand not just the capability and expertise you need, but also the type of manufacturers you need who will also understand your business.

Once ManufactureLink has reviewed and discussed your requirements, we recommend manufacturers from our network of local and overseas qualified manufacturers who can provide both the manufacturing services you need and the understanding of your business objectives. You then deal with the manufacturers directly. ManufactureLink does not act as a 'middle man' nor do we take any commissions on any orders placed. The objectives of our personal service are to assist you to manufacture your products quickly, efficiently and for the best value from qualified suppliers who are the best match for your business.

ManufactureLink can also provide you with complete, professional management of your entire sourcing project. Our manufacturing project management experience encompasses local and overseas manufacturing expertise (charges apply for overseas sourcing).
