Industrial goods are products intended to be put into the reproduction process, which are significantly different from the consumer goods we use every day. The procurement of industrial products depends on the comprehensive assessment of products, delivery, service, quality and value, and is more cautious and complicated.

So what are the global industrial product procurement platforms that are loved by purchasing officers and new consumers? We will introduce you to the following top ten websites:

1.https://us.misumi-ec.com/

The Musimi one-stop procurement platform for industrial products, which is a world-renowned parts supplier, covers various high-quality parts such as FA factory automation, tool/MRO factory consumables, stamping/plastic molds, electronics and electricals. The platform adopts a direct sales model, with global suppliers, the product directory compiled by itself, and a sound marketing system for directly selling products, allowing buyers to buy goods at a low price.

However, its global logistics and transportation cycle is long, and it is needed to order products in advance. Sometimes there is even a situation where the order expires but has not yet been shipped. It is a big pain point of this platform.

2. https://www.fastenal.com

FASTENAL is an American distributor of industrial and rugged parts, primarily selling fasteners (screws, nuts, etc.), non-standard parts, hardware, hand/electric tools, personal protective equipment, chemicals, and other metal products. At the same time, it also provides services for inventory management and tool repair.

Centered on about 3,200 market locations, FASTENAL provides custom inventory and special sales teams to support local customers. These locations are supported by its global distribution network, closely linked supplier network, strong procurement, quality and manufacturing resources, and multiple subject matter experts and support staff teams.

With the help of offline outlets, FASTENAL can support the distribution all over the world and provide services such as inventory management and tool repair. However, its outlets have not radiated around the world, and the main service targets are mainly North American countries, and some of these outlets do not support door-to-door service.

3.https://www.radwell.com
Radwell sells new or unused items for factory workshops and facilities maintenance including industrial automation, MROs, pneumatic, sports, electronics, hydraulic, HVAC and electrical control equipment. In addition, the platform also has complete component-level maintenance capabilities for all industrial electronics and electrical equipment.



The platform sells second-hand products, provides a variety of purchasing solutions, and recycles idle industrial products from consumers. Offering free maintenance services for the products sold for 2 years, it provides consumers with sufficient after-sales guarantee.
However, there are fewer products and brands supplied in the mall. Most of the products need to be inquired to check whether they are available. The information to fill in is relatively cumbersome and complicated, and the information feedback takes a long time, which undoubtedly affects the shopping experience of the purchasers.

4.https://www.grainger.com
Grainger is a Fortune 500 industrial supply company in the United States, and is the world's leading equipment maintenance, repair and operation (MRO) industrial product distributor. There are more than 600 branches, 18 distribution centers and a huge sales network around the world. It delivers a wide variety of MRO products, including motors, lighting, material handling, fasteners, plumbing, tools and safety supplies, to more than 1.8 million customers worldwide more than 110,000 times a day.



Grainger has an autonomous distribution center, and can achieve fast delivery with the complete MRO products and sufficient spot goods. Besides, it also provides inventory management services and technical support, and can effectively analyze users’ needs to achieve timely response.

5.https://www.industrykart.com
INDUSTRYKART is India's online industrial products and hardware suppliers, providing users with safety products, electrical, consumables, manual tools, electric tools, automotive accessories, energy, testing and measurement instruments, and material handling.
The goal of the platform is to remove the process of seeking quotation and negotiations during industrial procurement to eliminate the low efficiency, and promise that they only sell authentic products to improve the quality of Indian manufacturing products.

However, INDUSTRYKART only supports order transactions in India. It is obviously not a high-quality shopping platform for global procurement.

6.https://www.tradeindia.com
Tradeindia is an e-commerce platform that has passed the ISO 9001: 2000. It has more than 15,000 product categories and sub-categories, and 2 million registered SME sellers to provide services to India and global users.

The main services of the Tradeindia platform include online product directory services, DIAL B2B, trade reminder, Call Me Services, credit reports, trade opportunities, and detailed information about trade exhibitions from India and worldwide. It provides a communication platform for global sellers and buyers, and both parties can find suitable partners on this platform. Tradeindia provides product promotion services for manufacturers, importers, exporters, and service providers from India and the world, and buyers around the world can find suppliers and various products on the platform.



The platform shifts from the business model of the offline yellow pages to the online platform to connect the buyer and the seller. Merchants can publish product supply and demand information in real time, find information about global buyers and make convenient quotations and exchanges online. Buyers can also search for products, post demand information, contact suppliers, etc.

However, the transaction lacks transparency, and the complex pricing process can easily cause the buyers and sellers to fall into the repeated pricing and bargain. At the same time, after the buyer shows the information to the platform, it is very easy to receive various marketing bombs from the platform, which is annoying, and greatly affects the user experience.

7.https://www.directindustry.com
Directindustry is a new multi-language, multi-keyword, multi-search engine, international and localized e-commerce promotion platform that integrates search engine optimization, online exhibitions, industry websites, and professional B2B platforms. It provides an industrial brand display platform for global high-quality manufacturers, and at the same time, offers global buyers a procurement platform with multiple brands and comprehensive information.

A total of more than 13,000 internationally renowned brands in the world have cooperation with this platform, of which more than 300 are worldwide top 500 companies. The platform only accepts branded industrial product manufacturing companies to display on the platform, does not accept trading companies, and is not open to distributors, so there are the most direct brand suppliers.

The platform brings together a large number of industrial product manufacturing companies, but it does not promote the transaction. It is a rich information library for buyers, but it is not a high-quality procurement platform.

8.https://www.thomasnet.com
Thomasnet is a B2B e-commerce platform based in North America that gathers corporate information and product information of global suppliers and buyers. It has 67,000 industrial categories, as well as 6,500,000 distributors, manufacturers and service companies, and provides buyers with comprehensive product details, supplier product directory, CAD design drawings, etc.

Unlike Alibaba International Station, Thomasnet does not allow individuals to issue universal offer requests.

9.https://www.mcmaster.com
As a US private hardware, tools, raw materials, industrial materials and maintenance equipment suppliers, the platform provides users with a series of fastening systems, LED lighting, conveyor, programmable logic controllers, pumps, electrical components. It provides users with services such as product distribution and new products researching.

However, the delivery time of some products is long, and the type and parameters of the same product category are on the same page. For goods with complex parameters, users have great difficulty in reading them.



10.https://okmarts.com/

OKmarts cooperates with several major global logistics companies to ensure that the goods can be delivered to customers around the world in the shortest time.


In general, industrial products are different from traditional consumer goods. When purchasing, the buyers' requirements for products will tend to be complete varieties, timely delivery and worry-free after-sales. Different types of platforms have different advantages in the development process. Okmarts is an emerging one-stop procurement platform, and its global business is gradually entering a stable growth. If the procurement platform you used in the past can no longer meet your current needs or you are looking for new suppliers to broaden your procurement channels, Okmarts will be a new choice.
