Who we are
OGA Industries is a low-cost supplier of precision metal parts and components, serving Wisconsin manufacturers for over 15 years.
We combine international production from low-cost countries with local warehousing and customer service to give Wisconsin fabricators the convenience of working with a local company with the cost savings of international sourcing.
Source locally or internationally?
This is a question that fabricators have to answer constantly. Because there are pros and cons. Tradeoffs to consider. And historically, companies have had to choose one or the other.
Sourcing locally is easy/reliable, but expensive. Sourcing internationally is cheap, but painful.
On the one-hand, sourcing internationally is a HEADACHE. Just a few of the things you have to deal with are:
Totally opposite timezones
Customs clearance issues
Very long lead times
Inconsistent quality
Language barrier
Political instability
Cultural differences
Hidden costs/fees
International finance implications / extra paperwork
IP risks
Material reliability issues
Impossible to implement just-in-time inventory
Lack of flexibility
It’s a major pain. BUT, if you’re willing to endure the pain and navigate all these obstacles, you can get the components you need at a lower price.
On the other hand, sourcing locally is easy. It’s just nicer to be able to work with a local Wisconsin company who has a facility here that you can visit, people who you can talk to and know where your parts are coming from. You can expect to enjoy:
Friendly local customer service
from people who speak your language
Much shorter lead times
Consistent high quality
Known, limited risk
a pleasant, easy, straight forward experience from people who understand you.
It’s easy, it’s enjoyable, but it’s expensive.
Enter OGA Industries: Have your cake and eat it too.
Get the best of both worlds by combining the benefits of working with a local Wisconsin company (which we are) with the cost savings of overseas production (which we do), and the result is on-time delivery of your needed components at a lower cost, without the headache.
Who does this make sense for?
Good question, because it’s not right for everyone. We work best with Wisconsin fabricators and specialize in blanket orders for production parts that have a 6 month forecast available with scheduled releases.
