Partfinder Marine helps source cylinder head

©PartfinderMarine is an internet based trading platform built on search-based information exchange software that enables members (subscribers) to interrogate other members individual component holdings and subject to membership status trade with them.

Custom and practice within the industry is to search for unique or hard-to-find items using established channels and contacts, which can be extremely resource intensive.

This activity has created a market demand for a trading platform that tracks the location of critical parts and components. This is of growing importance given todays commercial pressure on controlling and driving down operating costs and spare parts acquisition and refurbishment costs.

Additionally as the global economy drives a significant increase in scrapping rates a considerable quantity of parts will come to the market and be available for recycling.

Little wonder then that when a business in South America was trying to source a rare MAK cylinder-head last traced as  sold six months previously to “a trader in the Netherlands” that this was a job for ©PartfinderMarine.com. The search led to suppliers being identified in Italy, Dubai, India and back to the Netherlands.

The individual businesses had no time to trawl for the part and turned to ©PartfinderMarine.com  “to do the business” for it.

No time to trawl the market?  Why not let Partfinder do it for you, register today, buy credits and let ©PartfinderMarine.com do the legwork.
