In order to manufacture a finished product, many pieces need to come together.
For most companies, it just isn’t possible to manufacture every part of the end product on their own. Instead, manufacturers rely on supply chains.
As a tier 1 supplier, Sisler Companies makes it possible for manufacturers to keep their inventory stocked and distribute their products on time. Component management plays a big role in this process.
In this article, we’re exploring what a tier 1 supplier is, the importance of component management, and how these services can help you.
What is a tier 1 supplier?
In most cases, when an OEM manufactures a final product, they need help from suppliers. Suppliers provide OEMs with the materials they need to build a product. A tier 1 supplier is the most important part of this supply chain. They work directly with OEMs and provide them with the devices that are needed to make a final product.
In turn, tier 1 suppliers typically rely on tier 2 suppliers, and the process continues as you go further down the supply chain. Lower level suppliers usually provide raw materials, while tier 1 suppliers provide parts and devices that are closer to the end product.
How component management plays a role
At Sisler Companies, we provide the basic receiving and storage services that you can expect from a supplier. But, we also go above and beyond by providing advanced component management services. This means that the companies and OEMs we work with don’t have to worry about complex sub-assembly of components.
Our team can purchase components on a customer’s behalf, assemble them, package and label the final products, maintain inventory, and ship the products on a timely basis.

Sisler Companies offers your business component services that go beyond just the basics. With years of experience in Central Ohio and a global network of representatives located near high-profile, established companies, we offer experience and service not found elsewhere in the state.
Whether you’re just beginning your warehouse search in Ohio or have been seeking a trusted location for some time, be sure to evaluate the services, experience, and knowledge we offer compared to other companies in the area.
Beyond the Basics
It should come as no surprise that virtually all warehousing facilities in Central Ohio offer component services. These basic component services include receiving, storage, and in/out services—services that can be found at just about any facility both in- and outside of Ohio.
While these services are essential, they often only meet businesses’ most immediate needs and do not offer the assistance and flexibility they need to take full advantage of their premium warehousing space. We understand that component services are to be expected, and consider them standard when it comes to the services we offer our clients.
Sisler’s services extend well beyond our competitors’, and we’re proud to offer advanced component services. In addition to receiving, storage, and in/out services, we provide additional, elevated services to aid your business. We’re able to purchase components on your behalf, saving you time and energy and, of course, receiving and storing these components for you. We can also put these components in assemblies and package and label all final products on your behalf, again saving you valuable time, energy, and overhead. Once complete, we also maintain your inventory for you, so you always know where you stand on certain components and final products.
But one of the key services we’re most proud to offer our clients is our shipping services. Whether you’re shipping locally, domestically, or across the globe, we always provide timely shipping to ensure you (and your customers) are never kept waiting for essential components or products. Whether you need daily or semi-routine shipping, we can meet your needs.
Strategic Global Locations
While our headquarter facilities are located in Marion, Ohio, our warehousing and rep network extends well beyond our state and national borders. Our teams of representatives are located in strategic international locations in close proximity to major appliance manufacturers’ headquarters or satellite facilities, including Whirlpool, General Electric, Electrolux, and other household brands.
Each member of our international team operates in their respective country’s time zone, so even if the business day is done in the United States, your operations can keep moving overseas. And as with any business, communication is key. That’s why our international representatives speak a number of different languages; you never have to worry about business needs getting lost in translation.
