WHAT IS THE PRICING STRUCTURE FOR STOCK PARTS?

On orders for 75 units or less, our stock parts are sold at a part-specific base price. For orders larger than 75 units, discounts may apply.

We create customer-specific manifolds as well as standard manifolds for common usage, such as sub plates, bar manifolds, and bodies.

DO YOU KEEP MANIFOLDS IN STOCK?

We do keep a variety of manifolds in our inventory. These manifolds are available for purchase at quoted pricing.

WHO OWNS THE RIGHTS TO THE DESIGNS CREATED AT CUSTOM DESIGN COMPONENTS?

We retain the rights to all manifold designs we create. However, if you wish to purchase the rights to your manifold, that can be negotiated.
