Components Company

What Components Company does

Components Company is a privately held B2B industrial services company headquartered in Brookfield, Wisconsin, founded in 1934. The company provides vendor consolidation, strategic sourcing, kitting, packaging, and value-added manufacturing services — including wire rope cable assemblies, custom assembly, and cut-to-length services for hose, tubing, chain, electrical wire, split loom, and extruded weather seal — to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) across outdoor power equipment, medical, industrial, professional tools, automotive, agriculture/construction, and appliances industries. Its core differentiator is an exclusive network of more than 2,000 approved vendors for hard-to-source, legacy, and general parts and components, which is expanded weekly. The company operates under ISO 9001:2015 certification issued by DNV GL and runs dedicated work cells with documented procedures and continuous professional development for production staff.

The business model is a quote-based B2B direct sales motion targeting enterprise OEMs, with lead capture via a 'Request a Quote' form and engagement supported by a dedicated team of estimators, supply chain personnel, engineers, and production specialists. Revenue is generated through professional services (vendor consolidation, kitting, packaging) and hardware sales (manufactured assemblies and cut-to-length products). The company serves a horizontal set of OEM customers including Toro, Rifton, Parker, Rehlko, McMaster-Carr, Community Playthings, Snap-on, Harley-Davidson, CNH, Bobcat, International Motors, and Whirlpool, with at least one documented customer relationship of 25+ years. Geographic operations are concentrated in the Midwest United States, and marketing relies on the corporate website plus LinkedIn and Facebook corporate profiles.

Operationally, the company positions itself as a fast-paced, adaptable partner in a traditionally slower-moving industry, emphasizing continuous improvement, automation, and equipment modernization to reduce lead times and improve quality. With 11-50 employees and a single Brookfield facility handling all quoting, sourcing, kitting, assembly, and warehousing functions, Components Company functions as a compact specialty services provider rather than a scaled industrial distributor. No external funding, parent company, subsidiaries, or M&A activity is disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• McMaster-Carr: Premier industrial components catalog distributor with an unmatched breadth of in-stock parts. Listed as a Components Company customer and overlapping directly in the 'vendor consolidation for OEM hard-to-source parts' use case, but operating at national scale via its catalog and online platform.
• WESCO International: Large-scale industrial distribution and supply chain services provider serving OEMs and contractors globally. Comparable as a B2B consolidator and value-added distributor of industrial components, but operates at vastly greater scale and geographic breadth than Components Company.
• Flex (Flextronics): Global contract manufacturer offering design, kitting, assembly, and supply chain services to OEMs across multiple industries. Comparable in delivering kitting, sub-assembly, and vendor consolidation value to enterprise OEM customers, though Flex operates a global manufacturing footprint versus Components Company's single Midwest facility.
• Grainger: Major industrial MRO and OEM distributor with deep vendor networks and kitting capabilities. Comparable in providing consolidated parts supply to industrial customers, but Grainger is a public, multi-billion-dollar distributor serving thousands of SKUs across North America.

Direct peers

• TTI Inc. Specialty distributor of electronic components and connector products serving OEMs across industries. Comparable as a B2B components consolidator with broad supplier relationships, though TTI focuses on the electronic component segment while Components Company serves a broader industrial mix.
• Creation Technologies: Mid-market EMS and kitting/assembly services provider serving OEMs in industrial, medical, and aerospace markets. Directly comparable business model — vendor consolidation, kitting, sub-assembly — for OEM customers, though Creation Technologies operates at meaningfully larger scale and multiple facilities.
• Plexus Corp: Mid-market EMS provider offering kitting, assembly, and supply chain solutions to OEMs in industrial, healthcare, and aerospace markets. Closely comparable services mix — vendor consolidation, kitting, sub-assembly — with comparable mid-sized customer concentration.
• PPI-Time Zero: Specialty kitting and assembly services provider serving industrial OEMs. Directly comparable business model and scale tier — vendor consolidation, kitting, and light assembly — for mid-market OEM customers.

Emerging players

• Fictiv: Digital manufacturing platform offering on-demand CNC, sheet metal, injection molding, and assembly services to OEMs. Comparable in delivering outsourced sub-assembly and component production to OEMs, but with a software-driven, marketplace-led model versus Components Company's relationship-led services.
• Xometry: On-demand manufacturing marketplace connecting buyers with CNC, sheet metal, 3D printing, and assembly suppliers. Overlaps with Components Company's sub-assembly and cut-to-length services for OEM customers, though Xometry is asset-light and software-led while Components Company operates its own work cells.
