Let’s face it. When timelines and budgets are tight and quality expectations high, the search for the right supplier can seem endless. It can take hours to chase down even simple answers, or days to get an engineer to call back about a critical component.
Our network of reliable, trusted and responsive suppliers can help. With The Ducharme Co., you can offload the work of haggling with your vendors, reduce your supplier base and get priority access to the engineers you need to speak with, when you need them.

What our customers say…
“It is a true pleasure working with The Ducharme Co. Michael is responsive and supportive, always going the extra mile for his customers. In the rare event that an issue should arise, he steps in to find and facilitate a solution that works for everyone. His level of attention to detail and diligence is second to none. I know that if I need anything, I can count on The Ducharme Co.”
— Buyer, Medical Device Industry
“Mike and the Ducharme Co. have been a great resource for us. Years ago, when we were outgrowing a local vendor that supplied one of the most critical parts to our business, Mike connected us with one of his principle manufacturers. That vendor proved to be a top-notch supplier that we have trusted to produce multiple production parts for us. I have had some poor experiences with manufacturer reps in the past, but dealing with The Ducharme Co. is an exception. Mike knows the manufactures he represents, their capabilities and how they may be able to help. He is not out to make a quick buck, rather, he is interested in helping build long-term success for both the companies he represents and the ones he serves.”
