Why this matters to a manufacturer
Most of what these desks buy is a repair part against a part number, in ones and twos, on a date they cannot move. That is order traffic a manufacturer rarely wants to take direct and a volume distributor is not set up to chase. We take the line, source it to your part number, and buy it on our own account.
