🏭 20+ yr manufacturing⚡ Why Procurement Struggles with Brass & Ferrous Metals
Every month we hear the same frustrations from purchasing managers, technical directors, and supply chain leaders across Europe and North America.
“We pay 18–25% above market for C36000 brass because our supplier adds layers of margin.” — US Purchasing Manager
“Incoming rejection rate of 4.7% on ductile iron castings — we can’t afford production line stops.”
“Ocean freight from Asia added $2,800 per container — eats our entire margin.”
“Missing EN 10204 3.1 certificates caused a customs hold for 11 days.”
👉 The result? 30% longer lead times and hidden costs up to 12% of PO value. It doesn’t have to be this way.
