Our platform connects you to real projects that align with your shop’s capabilities—no bidding, no time wasted on RFQ paperwork. What’s more, we source jobs from across the country, opening doors to opportunities you’d rarely find locally.

Joining the EPTAHUB Partner Network is completely free for manufacturers. There are zero transaction or service fees, and no obligations to take on a set number of jobs each month.
Once your application is approved, relevant jobs will populate your personalized job board—matched specifically to your manufacturing capabilities. If the project fits your current capacity, you can accept it; if not, you can decline. Again: no bidding, no RFQ-related legwork.
Certifications aren’t mandatory for joining the EPTAHUB Partner Network, but holding them can unlock more project opportunities. If you don’t have any certifications when registering, simply check the “I don’t have certifications” box under the “Certifications” tab in your shop profile.
