Next-Level Alignment for Husco and Optimas

ベンダー管理の在庫

Optimas can help Husco minimize stockouts and overstock by automatically replenishing fasteners and C-Class parts, based on demand forecasts, with five different tech-enabled inventory management solutions.

Three Delivery Methods

Optimas delivers Dock to Dock, Market and Line to ensure inventory management integrates into—or elevates—the existing delivery process at the Maquoketa or Whitewater or Waukesha production centers.

Current State

Husco stores inventory at Optimas’ Sturtevant facility, requiring EDI BOM input and manually inbound, store and transport stock within the Maquoketa and White Water facilities.

エンジニアリング

Staff engineers can improve Husco’s part design and elevate product quality—saving time and resources during production and in the field.

Quality Labs

Optimas’ certified labs inspect, test and validate fastener performance and material compliance, ensuring every part meets Husco’s quality standards.

In-House Manufacturing

Optimas produces externally threaded fasteners, local to Husco’s US facilities, offering faster lead times, better quality and flexible production to meet Husco’s demand.

Far Reaching Capabilities in Your Own Backyard

Optimas builds partnerships around performance and proximity. This ensures world-class manufacturing and distribution facilities, in Wood Dale, IL and Sturtevant, WI, are within three hours to support Husco with speed and precision.

分布 + Manufacturing in One Strategy?

For BOMs with various SKU volumes and types, a dual-source approach—distribution and manufacturing—increases efficiencies and lowers costs, especially when working with a single partner like Optimas.

How Does Fastener Distribution Complement Fastener Manufacturing?

Custom distribution networks help manufacturers streamline the acquisition of parts—especially in low-volume, high-SKU environments where direct sourcing is costly and inefficient. By leveraging regional and tiered distribution models, manufacturers reduce soft logistics costs, simplify supplier management and maintain steady access to critical components.

Broader Market
Access

Custom distribution networks help manufacturers reach customers in new regions, making it easier to expand into untapped markets and grow sales on a global scale.

Improved Acquisition
Experience

With a global network of over 4,000 trusted suppliers, Optimas positions fasteners closer to production facilities, reducing delivery times and ensuring consistent availability.

Intuitive Demand
Planning

Tech-enabled inventory management solutions provide real-time information, making it possible to adjust product production.

Operational
Efficiency

By managing inventory, global distributors free manufacturers to focus on production, optimizing overall operations and ensuring seamless delivery.

“Our work with Husco reflects exactly what we strive for in every customer relationship—consistent performance, mutual trust, and shared goals. With a strong foundation in place, we’re excited to explore new ways we can support their growth across more divisions and programs.”

— Tim Keezer, Program Manager, Optimas Solutions

Enhanced Efficiency
and Speed to Market

Integrate in-house manufacturing with global distribution to streamline operations, reducing lead times and transportation costs while enabling faster delivery to customers.

品質の向上
and Customization

Direct control over production ensures consistent quality and allows for engineered solutions to meet specific regional or customer needs.

Cost Savings and
Resource Optimization

Combine manufacturing and distribution under one organization and maximize economies of scale, minimizing logistics expenses and enhancing overall cost efficiency.

Resilience and
Innovation

Foster innovation through real-time feedback from global markets and build supply chain resilience by reducing reliance on third-party suppliers.

Manufacturing Complements Distribution

For engineered parts, blending direct manufacturing with geographic distribution into a single acquisition strategy provides greater supply chain focus and flexibility. It also reduces lead times, eases replenishment and supports sustainability goals.
