A design engineer decides whether your part is worth quoting long before anyone in your sales team hears about it.
We build components manufacturer websites that turn part families, dimensional and tolerance data, materials, finishes, production volumes and application context into a route a specifying engineer or procurement lead can follow to a qualified RFQ.
An engineer rarely arrives knowing your part number. They arrive with a bore size, a load, a duty cycle, a mating dimension or a material constraint, and they need to narrow a wide range down to a handful of candidates. We build the product structure so those parameters are the primary way through the catalogue, keeping the part number as a fast exact-match route for anyone who already knows what they need to reorder.
The questions that stall a specification are usually narrow ones: what tolerance you can hold on a given feature, which alloys and grades you run, what surface finishes and coatings are available, and whether a part can be supplied to a customer drawing. Publishing that detail at part-family level lets an engineer rule you in or out without a call, and makes the calls you do receive far better qualified.
A prototype run of twenty and an annual schedule of four hundred thousand are different businesses: tooled differently, routed differently and priced differently. We build enquiry and RFQ paths that capture annual usage, call-off pattern, drawing revision and target application up front, so estimating receives a request it can price rather than one it has to chase.
OEM and tier-one buyers assess a components manufacturer on more than the part itself: quality system certification and its scope, first-article and PPAP capability, material traceability, capacity headroom by process, and the sectors already supplied. We structure that evidence as content a supplier development team can work through during a vendor assessment, rather than as one downloadable company profile.
We do not certify your quality system, validate tolerance capability or generate CAD models. We build the platform that presents what your engineering and quality functions confirm, in a structure a specifying buyer can work through.
Code Industrial is the industrial B2B practice of Code Barcelona, an agency building corporate websites and digital platforms since 2015. The same strategy, design and engineering team works on every industrial project, from the first scoping session through to life after launch.
The build priorities for a components manufacturer are set by catalogue complexity, specification cycles, channel mix and the technical detail an engineer needs before an RFQ.
What comes up when building a website for a components manufacturer.
Enough for a design engineer to establish whether a part family is a candidate: dimensional ranges, materials and grades, held tolerances, finishes, and the applications the family is proven in. Detail that is configuration-dependent, commercially sensitive or covered by a customer agreement sits better behind a registered area or in an engineering conversation. The practical test is whether an engineer can rule your range in or out without contacting you.
Yes, where the attribute data is clean and complete enough to filter on. Parametric selection works when every part in a family carries the same governed attribute set, which usually means product data is managed in a PIM or another structured source rather than inside individual page content. Where a requirement falls outside the published range, the selector should route the engineer to your engineering team instead of returning an empty result.
Through secure file upload for drawings, STEP files and specifications, alongside fields for annual usage, call-off pattern, drawing revision and end application. Volume is the field most often missing and the one that most changes the answer, since tooling, process route and price all follow from it. Capturing it on the form means estimating can respond with a real quote rather than an opening request for more information.
As structured, checkable evidence rather than a general company profile. Supplier development teams look for quality system certification and its scope, first-article and PPAP capability, material traceability, capacity by process, and the sectors and part types already supplied. Presenting each as maintainable content, with certification validity visible, lets an assessment progress from the site and reduces the number of questionnaires asking for information you have already published.
Usually yes, with distinct routes through them. A standard range benefits from catalogue depth and parametric selection, while made-to-print work is sold on process capability, materials handled, tolerance range and relevant examples. Keeping both on one site lets an engineer who arrived for a catalogue part discover that you also manufacture to drawing, which is a common route into higher-value programme work.
