Maketronics Sources 7x the Inventory of Obsolete Pressure Sensors Over Authorized Channels

When it comes to sourcing obsolete components, traditional channels like authorized distributors can often fall short. This was the challenge faced by one of our clients, a manufacturer of oil measurement and control instruments, who urgently needed the Cynergy3 IPSU-C0446-5 pressure sensor. Despite exhaustive searches, they couldn't find the required quantity through any authorized or franchise channels. That's where Maketronics Communications came in, leveraging our extensive supplier network to source an impressive 7 times the inventory available from these conventional channels.

The Challenge

The client, serving a major oil and gas company in Saudi Arabia, needed a substantial quantity of the obsolete Cynergy3 IPSU-C0446-5 sensor for their oil measuring and control instruments. This part was critical to their production process, but finding it through the usual authorized or franchised distributors proved impossible. The lack of availability threatened to delay their project for the oil refinery.
