Industry

Energy & Electrical Equipment

Transformer, switchgear, motor and power-equipment makers buy copper, electrical steel, enclosures, castings and machined parts, and live with commodity swings.

The context

Commodity exposure with an engineered wrapper.

A large share of the bill of materials is copper, aluminium, electrical steel and insulation, priced against indices that move every quarter. Around it sit tanks, enclosures, frames and machined parts where design, nesting and process decide the cost.

Indexation clauses, scrap credits and specification choices are often worth more than unit-price negotiation, and they need someone who can read both the commodity and the drawing.

The same categories, other industries

Sheet metal, forgings, castings, machining and electrical components serve all of these.

The process is the same; the standards, volumes and approvals change. Our specialists work across every industry below.
