Why this company matters

SyncFab operates a cloud-based procurement platform that connects aerospace and defense OEMs with a vetted network of US-based machine shops. The platform covers custom parts sourcing across additive manufacturing, CNC machining, and sheet metal fabrication, aiming to reduce procurement lead times by up to 50% while improving supply chain visibility.

The core product automates supplier verification, quote management, order tracking, and parts fulfillment within a single interface. SyncFab integrates a proprietary blockchain layer, the MFG Blockchain, to secure supply chain data and track parts pedigree, enabling provenance tracking and recall management. This positions the platform as an Industry 4.0-ready solution for compliance-heavy sectors.

Target customers include aerospace primes and defense procurement departments. Named customers include Lockheed Martin and Kencoa Aerospace. The platform emphasizes ITAR-compliant suppliers and sustainability, with ISO 50001-certified partners in its network of over 100 vetted shops.
