Hard-to-find part sourcing

Don’t see what you need? Let Retmay find it.

If a fastener, fitting, or MRO item isn’t on the site or you only have a part number or a rough description, send it to Retmay. With more than six decades of supplier relationships, we track down hard-to-find and specialty hardware so you don’t have to chase it across a dozen vendors.

How sourcing works

A part number, a description, or a photo is enough to start.

Not every part has a clean catalog listing, and hunting down a single odd fastener or obsolete fitting can burn hours. Retmay’s sourcing service turns that search over to us: give us what you know and we work our supplier network to find a match or a workable alternative.

Use the quote form to send a part number, a written description, or a photo of the part or the spot it goes. Add the quantity and how soon you need it. Retmay will reply with what we can source, pricing, and lead time — and if there’s a better-stocked equivalent, we’ll point it out.

Once a hard-to-find item becomes a repeat need, Retmay can add it to a VMI or kitting program so you never have to chase it again.
