About OEMs & Contract Manufacturers

IMS Distribution supplies OEMs and contract manufacturers with genuine, factory-new industrial controls and automation components — backed by programs that de-risk production: consumption reporting, proactive alerts, vendor-managed inventory, and volume pricing on consolidated annual spend.

The challenges you face

Sound familiar? This is what we hear from oems & contract manufacturers every week.

✕Long lead times

Critical components run 20+ weeks while your build schedule doesn't move.

✕Limited availability

Allocation and stock-outs stall builds and break delivery commitments.

✕Price variability

Quotes drift between requisitions, making landed cost hard to lock.

✕Obsolescence

Vendor EOL notices arrive after the part is already designed in.

✕Slow RFQ response

Waiting days for a quote holds up purchasing decisions.
