Managed Overseas
Sheet Metal Fabrication
Reduce fabricated component costs through managed overseas manufacturing coordinated by a US-based company.
Simplify Overseas Sheet Metal Fabrication
Part Distribution helps businesses reduce sheet metal fabrication costs through managed overseas manufacturing coordinated by a single US-based point of contact.
We manage supplier coordination, importing, logistics, and production communication so businesses can access lower-cost fabricated metal components without the typical complexity of managing overseas suppliers directly.
We work with trusted overseas fabrication suppliers capable of producing custom sheet metal parts, formed components, welded assemblies, brackets, enclosures, and other fabricated metal products.
Part Distribution works with qualified overseas fabrication suppliers supporting both prototype and production sheet metal fabrication projects while coordinating supplier communication, importing, logistics, and production management through a single US-based point of contact.
Many companies use overseas fabrication as part of a broader strategy to reduce manufacturing costs and improve supply chain efficiency.
Why Companies Use Part Distribution for Overseas Manufacturing
Overseas Fabrication Managed Through a US-Based Partner
Many companies want the cost advantages of overseas sheet metal fabrication but do not have the time or internal resources to manage overseas suppliers, importing, logistics, and production coordination themselves.
Part Distribution helps bridge that gap by coordinating overseas fabrication through trusted manufacturing partners while providing a single US-based point of contact.
Already purchasing fabricated components from another supplier? Our Supplier Cost Analysis service can help benchmark your current pricing and sourcing structure. Sometimes our cost reduction strategies still allow you to keep the same supplier you were already using.

Sheet Metal Fabrication Capabilities
Common Fabrication Processes and Materials
We coordinate overseas metal fabrication projects involving laser cutting, forming, bending, welding, stamping, tubing, bar stock, and assembled metal components.
Common materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and other metals depending on the application.
Common Overseas Sheet Metal Fabrication Projects
We commonly help businesses source fabricated metal components including brackets, enclosures, machine guards, welded assemblies, panels, housings, frames, tubing assemblies, and formed sheet metal parts for industrial and OEM applications.
Many overseas sheet metal fabrication projects combine laser cutting, CNC punching, forming, welding, tapping, hardware insertion, powder coating, plating, and final assembly depending on the product requirements.
Overseas fabrication can be especially cost effective for repeat production runs, high-volume components, and fabricated assemblies requiring multiple manufacturing operations
Manufacturing Cost Reduction
Many manufacturing cost reduction opportunities come from improving production efficiency, logistics structure, fabrication methods, and supply chain coordination rather than simply searching for the lowest supplier price.
