Never wait on lead times again. With our Make & Hold Parts Program, we pre-manufacture your critical components under a blanket purchase agreement and securely store them in our facility. Parts are released on demand, ensuring just-in-time availability while reducing lead times, minimizing production delays, and streamlining your supply chain.
The Make & Hold Parts Program reduces overall lead times by keeping certain parts in stock. Instead of waiting up to 12 weeks, customers can receive these parts immediately when they’re needed, as they’re readily available on the shelf.
Our Make & Hold Program is designed around the efficiency of blanket purchase orders, enabling us to forecast, manufacture, and stock the parts your operations depend on. By partnering closely with your team, we’ll identify the specific components and quantities that align with your equipment needs and usage patterns.
This collaborative, data-driven approach to spare parts inventory management removes the guesswork and enhances your planning accuracy—ensuring the right parts are always available when you need them.
Once your blanket order is in place, we initiate production with a standard lead time to build your inventory. After manufacturing, your parts are securely held in stock and ready for immediate shipment—eliminating delays and minimizing downtime. You get the benefits of custom-built parts without the typical wait times associated with made-to-order requests.
Whether you’re managing seasonal demand spikes, planning routine maintenance, or simply aiming to reduce lead time risks, our Make & Hold Program delivers a dependable, responsive supply chain—backed by expert support every step of the way.
Determine what parts you need and place a blanket purchase order
As support, we can run a report that shows your usage for each part on an annual basis

We stock a comprehensive range of roofing equipment machine spare parts for Reichel & Drews equipment, including:
When a production line goes down, costs add up quickly–sometimes $20,000 or more for every hour the line sits idle. Over a typical workday, that’s $160,000 in lost production. Having the exact parts you need when you need them keeps downtime to an absolute minimum.
Beyond immediate financial losses, parts availability directly impacts product quality. When roofing materials are produced using worn equipment because replacement parts aren’t available, the cutting precision deteriorates. This compromises product quality, leading to potential customer complaints, returns, and damage to your reputation.
Timing is crucial in the roofing industry. During warmer months, demand peaks as customers build inventory for the busy installation season and anticipate roofing storm damage. Having reliable parts access during this critical period ensures continuous production when it matters most.
When many facilities schedule maintenance shutdowns at the end of the year, having the right parts on hand is essential for completing repairs efficiently and returning to production on schedule.
12 months is the typical standard.
Yes, absolutely. We can run a data report showing your usage for each part on an annual basis. We can also break it down monthly, quarterly, etc., to determine which part you use the most. As the OEM, we also have a spare parts manual we can share.
No, we can hold anywhere from a few parts to thousands of parts–it all depends on your needs.
Roofing equipment blank orders through our program ensure your parts are pre-manufactured and ready for immediate shipment the same or next business day.
When you commit to the Make & Hold Parts Program, you’re committed to buying what you've ordered. If you commit to buying 10 and somewhere down the one-year or two-year period that part goes obsolete, you must still pay for the part.
We do offer a Fast Ship Parts Program, where we stock hundreds of different commonly used parts that our customers might need. However, there’s no guarantee we will have the part you need in stock. The Make & Hold Part Program guarantees your exact parts are ready when you need them.
