What OEM Sources does

OEM Sources, LLC is a privately held B2B global sourcing and manufacturing services company headquartered at 40 Easton Heights Ln, Easton, Connecticut. The company connects American Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) with qualified domestic and international suppliers, specializing in custom-to-blueprint components and difficult-to-manufacture parts. Its stated mission is to deliver the lowest possible total acquisition cost through rigorous supplier qualification, value analysis, and supply chain consolidation across multiple business customers.

The company's offering is organized around four core professional services — Global Sourcing, Product Development, Logistics, and Quality Assurance — supplemented by a broad manufacturing process portfolio spanning ten categories (Casting, Forging, Stamping, Molding, Machining, Finishing, Spinning, Wire Forming, Extrusion, and Assembly & Packaging) and a materials catalog of eight+ categories including Iron, Steel, Copper/Brass, Aluminum, Zinc, Plastic/Rubber, Porcelain, and Carbon Fiber. Its proprietary Supplier Consolidation System aggregates similar component requirements from multiple businesses into a single supply chain to leverage buying power, and its QA methodology applies on-site pre-production, in-process, and finished-goods inspection supported by Lean Six Sigma Black Belt staff. The company holds C-TPAT certification with U.S. Customs & Border Protection since the program's inception.

OEM Sources operates a sales-led, direct B2B go-to-market targeting enterprise OEM customers through phone, fax, email, and a website contact form. Revenue is generated via fee-based sourcing services on quote-based pricing with no public disclosure; payment terms include Letters of Credit, Wire Transfers, and Open Account, with warehousing and consignment programs available. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A history, no parent company, no social media presence, and no AI/ML capabilities documented. It employs 11-50 people and has been operating since at least 2018 based on website copyright (firmographic founding year is listed as 2002, a discrepancy worth noting).
