MFR stands out by providing real-time, high-fidelity manufacturer data and AI-driven matchmaking — unlike directories that rely on outdated, pay-to-play listings or on-demand platforms focused only on quick, transactional orders.

Our platform highlights manufacturers’ capabilities and product specifications in depth, fosters direct relationships between buyers and suppliers, and prioritizes localized sourcing.

This emphasis on transparency, resilience, and long-term partnerships ensures that the right manufacturer is matched with the right buyer based on real capabilities, not ad spend or speed alone.

We focus on industrial manufacturers of all sizes including custom manufacturers, component manufacturers, and OEMs across North America.

Whether you specialize in CNC machining or have an extensive product catalog, our platform helps you showcase your technical strengths and certifications (ISO, ITAR, FDA, etc.), making it easier for the right buyers to discover and connect with your business.

If you're not a manufacturer, but your company specializes in bringing value to small to mid-sized manufacturers, we want to hear from you as well.

Your AI Assistant, trained on your own data and preferences from your MFR.ID, streamlines early buyer interactions on your website by automatically responding to repetitive questions, filtering out unqualified inquiries, and guiding serious prospects toward submitting RFQs.

Meanwhile, your MFR.ID not only serves as an accurate, real-time digital representation of your business, it also doubles as a powerful marketing tool that extends buyer reach organically and sets the stage for future matchmaking tools and integrations.

This 24/7 support shortens the path to quoting, delivers more qualified leads, frees up your team’s time for serious buyers, and builds trust by providing the transparent information they need to make confident decisions.

Absolutely. Even if you’re not taking on new projects right now, you can set your profile to “At Capacity.” This sets clear expectations for prospective buyers while still allowing them to evaluate your capabilities.

When you’re ready for more work, simply switch to “Accepting Projects.” Any buyers who showed interest will be automatically notified, so you never miss an opportunity. MFR keeps you visible, maintains buyer relationships, and makes it easy to handle new business when the time is right.

It’s all done automatically using AI, so you avoid hours of manually gathering and curating data.

You begin by providing basic details such as machinery, product catalog, and target buyer profile. Our AI agents then transform this information into an in-depth business and technical profile highlighting the key areas that matter to your target buyers. You can update your profile anytime to accurately reflect your shop’s strengths and unique offerings.

Once your MFR.ID is complete, you can activate the AI Assistant—either on your profile or embedded on your website so visitors get real-time answers to their questions and are guided toward submitting RFQs.

Creating your MFR.ID and receiving requests for quotes is completely free for manufacturers. Additional tools, such as the AI Assistant embedded on your website, are available through subscription tiers tailored to your usage and goals.

To review pricing details or see the platform in action, request a demo. During the session we’ll walk you through setup, integration, and choosing the right tier so you can start streamlining buyer interactions right away.
