Australia sourcing questions
Why source from Europe when local distributors exist?
Typically when the item is obsolete, the local distributor is out of stock, the lead time exceeds the shutdown window, or the part is only held by a European specialist stockist.
Can you work to a shutdown date?
Yes. Provide the required-on-site date and we plan the search and freight mode around it.
Do you handle electronic and control modules?
Yes — including discontinued drives, PLC modules and HMI hardware, subject to availability.
Send Us the Requirement Others Couldn’t Source
