How do I find a Supplier/Manufacturer (Supplier Search)?
There are two ways to find a supplier or manufacturer of a product or service on Wirefirst.com:
1. By Keyword Search
To save some time, you may prefer to choose this option. Click on 'Supplier Search' in the menu. In the search box provided, you can enter a keyword (or a product code, if you know it) that identifies what products or services you are looking for. After clicking 'Search' our database will present you with a list of our category codes that closely match you keyword entry. Next, simply choose the product or service you are looking for from the list and our database will return a summary of companies that produce that product/service. Click on the company name that you are interested in (coloured in blue) to find out more information.
2. By Category then Product Selection
As an alternative to the Keyword Search, you are also able to browse for suppliers by category. These are displayed at the bottom of the 'Find A Supplier' page. If you are looking for an aluminium tube maufacturer, for example, you would choose the 'Non Ferrous Wires & Rods ' option. You will then be presented with a list of specific products that come under that heading. You can now simply choose the product you are looking for from the list (scroll down if necessary). Products are arranged in alphabetical order, so please double check the entire list for what you are looking for.
After clicking on 'Search', you will then be given a summary of all the companies who produce or supply your product in alpahbetical order. You are told how many companies there are in total that match your search criteria, and you may need to scroll through the list (if there are more than ten) using the 'Next' and 'Back' buttons. To retrieve the complete information on a company that you are interested in, simply click on the company's name (coloured in blue).
How do I Find a Company (Company Search)?
When you click on 'Company Search' you are presented with a facility that quickly finds a company by the name or keyword that you enter into the search box.
You can simply type in the name of the company, or part of its name. For example, if you wanted to fine 'Joe Schmoe Company', you could enter 'Joe Schmoe Company', 'Joe Schmoe' or just 'Joe' or 'Schmoe'. In every case our database will then present you with a list of companies that closely match what you entered. You can then simply click on the name of the company you were looking for (underlined in blue) to find out more information.
