Manufacturing · CNC Machining & Precision Engineering
Production managers need a fixture by the time the new part starts, and most do not know a shop that does it.
A fixture is bought by the person who is about to miss a production date. A new part is approved, the line needs a way to hold it, and nobody has made one. The enquiry is urgent and specific, and it goes to whoever the engineer remembers or finds on a quick search.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
Jigs and fixtures are the work-holding and guiding devices that keep a part in position while it is machined, welded, assembled or inspected. GullySales helps fixture makers reach the production and quality engineers who commission them, and show the design and repeatability behind each fixture.

Who it is for
This is written for you if jigs & fixtures is what you make or sell.
- Shops that design and make machining fixtures, welding fixtures and inspection gauges
- Fixture makers serving automotive component plants and their suppliers
- Tool rooms that treat fixtures as a steady line next to dies
- Small design firms who also manufacture what they design
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- A shop without a design capability that only copies fixtures from a sample
- A unit that cannot document the fixture so the customer can reorder it
How buyers choose
What decides the sale of jigs & fixtures.
The part, the operation and the machine
The engineer describes the part, the operation to be held for and the machine it goes on. A good reply asks about datum surfaces, clamping and loading time.
Repeatability and the locating scheme
A fixture is judged by whether the second hundred parts sit exactly as the first. The shop that explains its locating logic seems to know the problem.
Hydraulic or manual clamping
Cycle time and operator effort decide this. The buyer wants an opinion, not a catalogue of options.
Delivery before the production start
A date is attached to the enquiry and the supplier is chosen on whether the date is believable. Telling the truth about the date counts.
Where orders are lost
What usually goes wrong when you sell jigs & fixtures.
In the words owners use on the first call.
“We only get fixture work in a panic”
Enquiries arrive close to a line start, with no time to discuss design. The shop is paid for speed and not for thinking.
“We design it, they copy it”
A customer takes the finished fixture to another shop for copies. Drawing ownership and reorder terms were never stated in the quotation.
“Nobody searches for fixtures by name”
Engineers search for the problem, such as holding a casting for boring, not for jigs and fixtures. The pages have to be about the problem.
The scope
The work we would propose for jigs & fixtures.
Measured on qualified enquiries, quotation requests, follow-up on each quotation, trial orders won and repeat orders. Anything here that needs a platform, directory or tool we have not used with you is confirmed with you before it goes in the scope.
- Pages for fixture types by operationMachining fixtures, welding fixtures, assembly jigs, inspection gauges and checking fixtures, each described by the problem it solves.
- A fixture enquiry formAsks for the part drawing, the operation, the machine and the production start date, so the first reply starts at design and not at questions.
- Outreach to production and quality engineersPlant engineers in component factories near you, reached with a short note on a fixture problem you have solved.
- A reorder and documentation offerA note to past fixture customers about spares, modifications and revisions when the part drawing changes.
- Supplier listing in plant purchase systemsMaking sure that your shop is known to the purchase and tooling departments in the plants nearby, confirmed in the audit.
What we do
What you get for jigs & fixtures.
Each deliverable and what it is there to change.
A fixture design brief sheet
A one-page questionnaire the engineer fills in about part, operation, machine and quantity. It speeds the first design discussion.
A fixture gallery by operation
Photographs of fixtures with a line on what each holds and the clamping used. It tells a new engineer you have done something similar.
A note on drawing ownership and reorder
Who holds the design, what is supplied with the fixture and how a reorder is priced. It removes an argument and shows professionalism.
Checking fixture and gauge samples
Examples of inspection gauges and checking fixtures made. Quality teams search for these separately from machining fixtures.
A plant-by-plant contact list
Names of production, tooling and quality contacts in factories near you. It supports calls made before the next part starts.
How the result is measured
- Fixture enquiries received
- Enquiries with a drawing attached
- Follow-up on each quotation
- Fixtures ordered
- Reorders and modifications
- New plants reached
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
What we need from you
What to have ready before we talk.
None of it has to be tidy. We read what you have.
- Photographs of fixtures built and the parts they hold
- Design software used and the person who designs
- A sample fixture drawing set you supply
- Past quotations and delivery dates promised
- Plants you have supplied fixtures to
- The type of fixture you want more of
Export and new regions
Selling jigs & fixtures beyond your home market.
Where you sell decides standards, documents, payment terms and freight. We work from Bengaluru and have no overseas office, so for a new region we start from your own enquiries, your existing buyers and the directories you already use.
Fixtures for overseas component plants
Indian fixtures reach overseas plants mainly through customers that already export. Your existing buyers and who they supply is the first thing to map.
Drawings and documents
Fixture drawings in the buyer's format, along with a proof of function. Packing for steel fixtures and the customs paperwork are described on the quote.
