"I work for a Midwest distributor and get frequent requests to purchase from
manufacturers I am not familiar with. I have ThomasNet on my favorites which has
saved me immeasurable time. ThomasNet gives me the ability to do a search by a
manufacturer's name and by a product. But directing me to the company's website
is the best!"

"I work for the Art Department at West Virginia University. We have a metal shop and a wood
shop.......ThomasNet has been a great help, and time saver, in finding materials, parts, and services,
needed to keep our shops up and running. I use it a lot to find what I need right here in Morgantown or in
the surrounding area. One student wanted to have parts, for his art works, chrome plated. I had no idea,
close by, where this service could be found. I did a ThomasNet search and found a guy just an hour up
the highway. The guy was glad to help a student and really cut him a break on the price. This made
everyone happy! Thanks ThomasNet!!!"

"We have been involved for months on a project to perfect and begin
manufacturing a patent applied for new generation wind turbine alternator. We
were having difficulty finding the right equipment to do a full bench test. We were
told that we needed a Variable Frequency Drive. I went to ThomasNet, found what I
was looking for at a very good price and we have now been able to complete the
tests."

"ThomasNet is a highly convenient compilation of businesses serving specific
product families. I had to find suppliers of specialty ceramics for scientific
instrumentation that we needed quickly to perform measurements needed for a
report to our customers. Using ThomasNet, I had about ten leads on my fingertips
within a few seconds. I ordered my specialty parts with one of them, and got the job
done on time. ThomasNet is great resource that helps me an my colleagues
frequently."

"I opened an account for a local hotel chain and the lead coordinator jokingly asked if we could get
mattresses. Through ThomasNet I found a vendor who would accept a Lowes PO that would provide the
mattresses to me at an amazing price. I was therefore able to offer the customer a great price and now
have a huge mattress order pending."

"About three years ago we needed to source local sheet metal manufacturers for a new product we were
developing for the solar PV market. (With ThomasNet) I was successful in identifying a number of NJ
based companies and we are now utilizing 4 of them to manufacture 1 to 2 million dollars worth of that
product. In addition, on public projects, we get "credit" for NJ manufactured products."
