Apply to Become a Supplier: Join the Trustbridge Manufacturing Network

Trustbridge is a design studio that works with great manufacturers. We’re always looking for good partners — shops we’d trust with our own clients’ work — and applying is how we get to know yours.

If you take pride in what you make and want a real relationship over a bidding queue, we’d love to hear from you.

Why Top Machine Shops Choose Trustbridge

  • Vetted Engineering Data – Never quote a bad drawing again. Our engineers review every BOM and CAD file for manufacturability before it reaches you.
  • Clear Communication – Our team stays involved to make sure expectations are aligned and questions get answered.
  • Long-Term Relationships – Many suppliers become go-to partners for recurring work, not just one-off jobs.

What We’re Looking For

We work with shops that are:

  • Technically capable and process-driven

  • Responsive and professional in communication

  • Committed to quality and continuous improvement

  • Comfortable working with startups and enterprise customers

  • Willing to be transparent about capacity, lead times, and pricing

Certifications (e.g., ISO 9001, AS9100, ITAR, ISO 13485) are not required for all jobs, but are preferred for work in regulated industries.

Active Manufacturing Opportunities

We’re actively expanding our network in the following areas:

  • CNC Machining: 3-Axis, 5-Axis Milling, Swiss Turning, Wire EDM. 
  • Sheet Metal: Laser Cutting, Press Brake Forming, Certified Welding (AWS). 

  • Molding: Rapid Tooling, Overmolding, compression molding. 

  • Advanced: Industrial 3D Printing (MJF/DMLS), Urethane Casting. 

If your shop supports multiple processes or serves a niche market (e.g., aerospace, medical, robotics), let us know!
