Custom parts sourcing through one platform

Q: Can I submit a single part or a complete RFQ package?

Both are possible. You can request a single custom part or submit a package with several part numbers, technical drawings and bills of materials. One project can combine different processes, including CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, welding or electrical discharge machining (EDM).

One platform for custom parts sourcing

One RFQ.
One point of contact.

One RFQ can quickly turn into multiple suppliers, technologies, quotations and follow-ups. This creates unnecessary internal workload for your procurement and engineering teams.

With deprotech, you submit your RFQ once. We select and manage the right European manufacturing partners and ensure your parts are delivered with optimised pricing, competitive lead times and significantly less internal effort

Why deprotech

Built to make custom parts sourcing simple.

deprotech combines technical understanding, a commitment to European manufacturing and simplicity by design to make custom parts sourcing easier to manage.

We understand, not just automate

Every request is reviewed, technically understood and processed before it moves into sourcing. Automation supports the process, but engineering judgement remains part of it.

We care about European manufacturing

We make it easier for European buyers to access underused production capacity across Europe.

We simplify, not overwhelm

deprotech is simplicity by design. We reduce sourcing complexity and present the information that matters, so you can make clear decisions faster.
