How Responsive Manufacturing Partners Help OEMs Meet Tight Deadlines

Meeting production schedules becomes nearly impossible without dependable suppliers. Unpredictable delays disrupt operations and compromise effective planning and budgeting. Choosing a single source for your pneumatic components can reduce risk. Vendor consolidation can make the purchasing process easier, and it helps build closer working relationships.

Benefits of Consolidation

Juggling multiple vendors takes work. You have to track pricing, monitor contracts, process orders, follow up, and communicate with each one. Adopting a single-source strategy for pneumatic components makes your work simpler, easier, and more consistent, while potentially reducing your procurement costs.

It also helps you develop a deeper relationship with your supplier. That can be critical because the relationship you have with your vendors can significantly impact your business. You can’t grow or maintain your manufacturing operation without reliable materials access.

While many manufacturers offer similar components, Branham offers distinct service advantages that enable OEMs to overcome design challenges and meet tight project timelines. 

The Pneumatic Actuators You Need

Component compatibility ensures your design will function as intended and replacement parts deliver the expected performance. 

• For ISO-compatible or metric components, ARTEC products distributed by Branham throughout North America guarantee precise specifications.
• For NFPA requirements, we offer an extensive range of pneumatic cylinders in numerous configurations, designed and manufactured in the United States.

Our ULTRIQTM series of pancake-style cylinders offer a no-delay solution for critical operations. These compact actuators feature standardized sizing, making them compatible replacements for other OEM products. They’re available in many configurations, in stock, and ready to ship.

Speedy Fulfillment

We know that speed of service is critical. That’s why we prioritize prompt responses. Whether you need consultation, quotations, or product orders, we know you can’t afford to wait around for a response. We operate with urgency, knowing that fast problem resolution minimizes disruption. You can move forward with your design or keep operations running on schedule.

We review orders within 24 hours, and if clarifications are needed, we follow up quickly so we can keep the process moving forward and get products on their way to you. And we can ship Branham and ARTEC products fast—typically within one week.

Real People with Real Expertise and Experience

While we offer comprehensive pneumatic actuator selections, our smaller footprint means that we take the time to get to know our customers better, whether distributors or end-users.

When you call Branham, you get a real, live person. No entangling automated systems, no wondering if someone got your message or if you’ll ever hear back.

Today’s operating environment is filled with question marks. But there’s no question that OEM supply consolidation can provide the predictability, consistency, and streamlined pneumatic sourcing you need to meet tight deadlines, maintain operations, and control costs.
