  • How It Works for Suppliers

    High-Quality Projects. Streamlined Workflows. Real Partnerships.

    Contact Us

At Trustbridge, we’re not a job board or auction site. We’re a strategic sourcing partner that connects vetted manufacturers with serious customers — product teams who care about quality, reliability, and long-term relationships.


If you're a high-performing shop that wants a steady flow of qualified leads, clean files, and a customer relationship that respects your time and expertise, you're in the right place.



What Is Trustbridge?

We’re a modern sourcing platform that bridges the gap between engineers and manufacturers. Customers — from startups to global OEMs — submit parts to Trustbridge for prototyping or production. Our in-house engineering team reviews the request, selects the right manufacturing process, and then matches the project to qualified suppliers in our network.


You don’t have to fight through a feed of low-quality RFQs. We send the right jobs, directly to the right shops — based on capabilities, materials, certifications, and past performance.


What It’s Like to Work With Us

You’re Matched to Projects You Can Actually Win

We use a combination of supplier profiles, internal vetting, and engineering logic to route jobs to a small, curated set of shops that are actually a fit. That means you’re quoting jobs that fall squarely in your wheelhouse — and you’re not wasting time competing with 20 other vendors.

You Control the Quoting and Workflow

Once matched, you can review the files, ask clarifying questions, and submit a formal quote. If your pricing and lead time are accepted, you move forward with production — just like any of your direct customers.

  • Clear drawings and models

  • Honest lead time expectations

  • Defined inspection and delivery requirements

  • You focus on making great parts

We Stay Involved to Keep Things Smooth

We're not a black box. Once the job starts, our team stays engaged to track timelines, ensure clear communication, and catch issues early. You’ll never be left guessing what’s expected — and you’ll never have to manage an unclear customer.

Need clarification or hit a delay? We work with you to resolve it proactively.

You Deliver to Trustbridge or Directly to the Customer

In most cases, we’ll have you ship directly to the customer — using their preferred logistics provider or PO terms. You’ll always know exactly where the part is going, who’s receiving it, and what documentation is needed.
