Metal Component Supply

Reliable Metal Component Supply from Asia

Here at BPF, we have many of our own mould tools which continue to form our core product ranges . However, we also complement these with a range of globally sourced metal components and parts. Many of which come in on containers from our partner factory in India, who we’ve been working with for over 20 years!

However, we have space to fill on the containers we bring in from Asia, and we are now opening the door to you and your business!

Metal Component Supply

As such, we have recently assisted many customers who have been experiencing supply chain and supply-line issues from China. And we’ve been able to do so by piggybacking their components on the back of our regular containers from India. As a result, this has enabled them to get back to full production, without compromising on the price advantage of purchasing from Asia.
