As a modular or structural building component manufacturer, you’re not alone in facing the challenges of evolving customer demands and shifting market conditions. Any disruptions within the supply chain can create costly bottlenecks to your operation and diminished customer confidence.
A definite no-go for operations like yours that need to supply timely delivery of quality products.
According to a 2022 Deloitte and Manufacturers Alliance collaboration survey, shipping and transportation delays, parts and talent shortages are the top four supply chain concerns for 200 U.S.-based manufacturing executives.
Survey participants also said that rising shipping costs, product availability and logistics continue to plague their ability to fulfill outgoing contracts. About 83% of these manufacturers said strengthening existing supplier relationships was one of their top risk mitigation strategies going forward.
It’s no secret that manufacturers must strengthen their supply chains and build strong partnerships to remain competitive and prepare for inevitable disruptions. The trouble is, supply chains have grown more complex and fragile these last few years, putting pressure on the traditional manufacturer/supplier relationship.
Today, you need a partner you can count on for reliable supplies and expert help on solutions to keep up with demand.
LINC Systems helps structural building components manufacturers adopt new technologies, optimize inventory management and streamline their operations — all while helping insulate themselves against risk.
Whether you manufacture roof and floor trusses, wall panels or framing systems, LINC Systems is your total solution for service and support. Learn more.
Why the Growing Demand for Modular Housing Components?
We’ve all witnessed the increased need for affordable housing. Construction methods that use off-site manufacturing processes to prefabricate single- and multi-story structures address those needs.
Modular builds offer several benefits:
> Faster build times
> Energy efficiency
> Reduced environmental impact
> Greater sustainability
Obviously, the controlled construction environment of a modular build eliminates many common obstacles to traditional builds, such as weather, theft, vandalism, and lack of skilled labor. As a result, IRR Manufactured Housing Report says manufactured homes can deliver the quality and performance of conventional site-built homes at prices that are up to 50% less per square foot.
Considering these factors, it’s no surprise that the global modular construction market is projected to grow from $84 billion in 2023 to $132 billion by 2030, according to Fortune Business Insights. In addition to increased residential modular construction, commercial applications are also rising.
With no signs of slowing ahead, how will component manufacturers keep up with demand amid uncertain supply chains and rising material prices?
Having a reliable supply partner by your side is one way to bolster your position in the market.

Expert Consultations for Fasteners and Tooling Modular Homes
The fasteners used in modular homes and other housing components must have different features than a standard building nail or screw. Items like cap nuts, carriage bolts and flat socket cap screws provide a tight fit while maintaining an attractive overall appearance throughout the building.
