Forty-two years. Same first customer.
Megatron, Inc. began sourcing American-made MRO parts for overseas plants in 1984. The company that placed our first order still places orders today. That's the whole business model, stated plainly.
Our quality management system is ISO 9001 certified. Every order is handled under documented procedures for sourcing, verification, packing and dispatch — which is why our inspection step catches wrong parts before they leave the country. Request a copy of the certificate.
American supply chains don't reach overseas plants.
A maintenance manager in Minas Gerais or Nuevo León needs a part built in Ohio. The manufacturer sells through a distributor network that ends at the US border. The distributor won't export, won't open a foreign account, and can't answer a technical question in Portuguese. The plant either pays a broker's markup, waits four months, or cannibalises another machine.
We were built to close that gap, and we've spent four decades getting good at it.
We act as an extension of your purchasing department.
Not as a catalogue, not as a marketplace. Our people learn your equipment, your part numbers, your preferred brands and your plant's shutdown calendar. Over time we start anticipating orders rather than waiting for them.
That means the relationship works best when it's boring: quotes come back the same day, parts arrive when we said they would, and nobody has to chase anything.
Four offices, placed on purpose.
Houston sits inside the American supplier base and inside a major air and ocean gateway. Hoofddorp does the same for Europe. Naucalpan and Contagem sit close to the plants we serve in Mexico and Brazil, which means local invoicing, local delivery, and a phone answered in the customer's language and time zone.
A request that comes in after hours in Brazil is already being worked in Houston.
Honest with customers, suppliers and staff.
We treat customers as partners and take their problems personally. We treat suppliers as a permanent part of the business, not as something to squeeze — which is why manufacturers take our calls. And we hire people who want to stay, then give them room to grow.
Nothing about that is novel. It's simply what forty-two years of repeat business is made of.

Why it works
Good for the plant.
Good for the manufacturer.
We sit between two groups who both want the same thing and can rarely reach each other directly.
If you run a plant
- Less downtime. Urgent lines get worked the hour they arrive, in your time zone.
- Fewer suppliers. One vendor number instead of forty foreign ones.
- Lower landed cost. Consolidation cuts freight and customs entries, not just unit price.
- Fewer wrong parts. Verification happens before the crate is sealed.
- Less admin. One PO, one invoice, one set of export documents.
- Local language. English, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch, on the phone.
If you're a manufacturer or rep
- Export reach without export work. You ship domestically; we handle the rest.
- You get paid in your currency, on domestic terms, by a local entity.
- No credit exposure abroad. The risk sits with us, not with you.
- Larger, consolidated orders instead of one-off international enquiries.
- A buyer who speaks your language — technically and literally.
- Relationships that last. We're still buying from our earliest suppliers.
