Thinking Differently About the Supply Chain Has Led to Innovation and Customer Success

As an OEM, you face the challenge of managing lots of high volume low cost parts. Up to 50 percent of the items used in your manufacturing process may only represent five or 10 percent of total spending. Yet, these items are vital to a successful production floor.

At iPower, we treat these high volume low cost parts with the same importance, intensity, and innovation as you do managing the “A” items. In fact, our approach is to challenge the status quo. We believe in thinking differently to produce unparalleled results. Our record over the past 20 years shows that our approach has worked.

The supply chain that iPower represents currently serves a wide range of OEM’s, including those in semiconductor, flat panel display, solar photovoltaic, medical, wind turbine and other cutting-edge automation, vacuum solutions, and marine at Point of Use. To accomplish this, iPower has assembled a broad-based team of industrial distributors with the widest breadth and depth of industrial components, packaging, and supplies in the region. The companies that make up iPower Distribution Group of New England represent 1.2 million items; $140 million in inventory; and $800 million in sales. That’s a lot of capability.

And here’s the best part: At iPower, we do not markup any prices on any Tier 1 components, packaging, or supplies. Nor do we charge a handling fee, software fee, or user fee. We have no fees of any kind. In addition, in every contract we have a price optimization clause guaranteeing competitive prices. It’s more than a claim: it’s a fact. Our 20 years of delivering supply chain solutions have documented the results. Thinking differently has helped our customers get the edge on the competition and to achieve profitability.

Our industrial supply chain footprint includes the following major categories:

· Electronics
· Fasteners
· Industrial Automation
· Industrial Supply
· Motion and Fluid Control
· Packing
