Submit a manufacturing project
Tell us what you need made.
Describe the part, assembly or product in plain language. Share drawings if you have them — and if you don't, tell us what you know. We use process, material, volume, certification and location requirements to point you at manufacturers who actually take work like yours.
- One structured request instead of a dozen phone calls
- Optional NDA and confidentiality handling
- Drawings, CAD, specs and photos welcome
- Local, regional, US or international preference
Why use Manufacture Contracting
Sourcing help, not an automated quote engine.
Capability-level matching
We filter on process, material, tolerance expectation, certification, volume band and geography — the things that actually decide whether a shop can take your work.
Reviewed before it's shared
Buyer information is reviewed before it is distributed, confidential project details are never published, and manufacturers state their own exact capabilities.
Built for smaller shops
Specialty and small-to-midsized manufacturers get overlooked by instant-quote platforms. They are the backbone of this network.
Manufacture Contracting facilitates introductions between buyers and manufacturers. Buyers remain responsible for supplier qualification, contracting and final purchasing decisions.
Reshoring and U.S. manufacturing
Bringing work back, practically
Reshoring is a transfer project: documentation, tooling and requalification decide how well it goes. These pages cover the sequence.
Reshoring Manufacturing Projects
Plan a reshoring project: what to transfer first, how to requalify a part, tooling movement, documentation gaps and a realistic transfer timeline.
U.S. Contract Manufacturers
Sourcing domestic manufacturing in the United States: when it makes sense, what it costs, and how to compare domestic quotes against offshore quotes fairly.
High-Volume Production
Source high-volume production manufacturing: capacity verification, tooling ownership, quality planning and the contract terms that matter at scale.

Frequently asked questions
- What does Manufacture Contracting do?
- We connect buyers who need parts, assemblies or products manufactured with contract manufacturers whose capabilities match. You submit your requirements, a person reviews them, and we point you to manufacturers set up for that work.
- What does it cost a buyer?
- Nothing. Submitting a manufacturing project and using the directory is free for buyers.
- Do you manufacture anything yourselves?
- No. We facilitate introductions. Qualification, contracting and purchasing decisions stay with you as the buyer.
- Is my project information kept confidential?
- Project details are reviewed before they are shared with any manufacturer, and they are never published publicly. Uploaded drawings and files are stored privately. You can flag that a project needs an NDA when you submit it.
- How do I choose between domestic and international manufacturing?
- Compare landed cost rather than piece price, and weigh lead time, freight, design-change frequency and any content requirements. You can state a domestic, regional or international preference on your request.
- How do manufacturers get listed?
- A basic profile is free. Submit your company details, we review them by hand, build the profile and send you a link to confirm it before anything goes live.
