What does Quel do

Quel facilitates the complex process of buying and selling of custom manufactured products. To this end Quel developed an intelligent engine, matching supply and demand and orchestrating the process of buying and selling. Buyers post requests for quotation, which are matched immediately with subcontractors with the right competences, skills and capacity to fulfill the buyers' needs. With minimal effort, buyers gain valuable insight in the complex and fragmented contract manufacturing market. Quel allows buyers to contact them immediately thus facilitating parties to find the optimal way of doing business. Through Quel suppliers find prospects with direct manufacturing needs, which they would not know otherwise. Quel hosts profiles of companies, who in total represent over 300 manufacturing processes, among others machining, sheet metal work, casting, forging, assembly and manufacturing of electronic components.
