Find the fab shops to call, at the right time.
Oxpium builds the list of fab shops, sheet metal shops and foundries in your area, finds the owner, tells you when one of them has a reason to buy, and runs the campaign.

The shops that do your kind of metalwork, not all of metal.
A sheet metal shop bending stainless for food plants and a structural steel erector putting up warehouses don't buy the same machines or the same software. Tell the agent the trade, the size and the area: it searches public sources, professional databases, job postings and shop websites, and removes the duplicates.

312 fab and plate shops with 10 to 100 employees.
A precise trade
Structural steel, sheet metal, plate and tank, foundry, forging, powder coating: the agent reads each website and keeps the right trade.
A real headcount
A headcount measured in professional databases, 10 to 100 employees for example, to reach the shops that actually have your budget.
The equipment
Fiber lasers, press brakes, robotic welding cells: when a shop lists its equipment on its website, the agent reads it and filters on it.
A profile
Hiring welders right now, showing an AISC or ISO 9001 certification on the site: criteria you combine in a single plain sentence.
The right person at every shop.
At a twenty-person shop, the owner writes the quotes, walks the floor and signs off on every machine. Past that, a plant manager or a manufacturing engineer picks the equipment and the software with them. The agent fills in the columns your campaign needs, row by row, and verifies every email before it's added.

The owner
Their name, with their email and cell when there is one: at a twenty-person shop, the owner is the one who signs off on every purchase.
Operations and engineering
The plant manager, the operations manager or the manufacturing engineer, found by job title when the shop is big enough to have one.
The equipment list
Press brakes, lasers, welding cells, crane capacity: the agent reads what each shop shows on its website and puts it in its own column.
Certifications and markets
AISC, ASME, ISO 9001, and the industries named on the site: energy, food processing, agriculture. “Not found” when nothing is listed.
Automations that watch for you, and tell you which shop to call.
Once the list is built, Oxpium keeps going without you. Each automation reruns its search on schedule and adds what just changed to the top of the list: a welder posting, a role that won't fill, a new plant manager wanted, a new machine on the floor. Those are your signals, and they show up on their own.

Hiring welders
Every morning, an automation adds the shops that just posted a welder, fitter or brake operator opening to the top of the list, badged “Hiring”.
Roles that won't fill
Every month, the shops whose welder posting has been up for more than 30 days move to the top: that role just isn't filling on its own.
New leadership
Every Monday, the shops hiring a plant manager, an operations manager or a quality manager are flagged: a new boss reviews the tools.
Your own watch
Any watch you can write in one sentence, like new machines every Friday: the agent reruns it on schedule and tells you what changed.
A campaign that speaks shop floor.
In the morning, the owner is out on the floor, sorting out the day's jobs: nobody picks up. Plenty of shops run four ten-hour days and are dark on Fridays. The campaign writes and calls when the office is open and quiet, from your own mailbox and your browser, and stops as soon as someone replies.
Subject Cutting at shop
Each variable is a column of your list, filled in by the agent.
When the office is quiet
Emails and calls go out late morning or early afternoon, Monday to Thursday, so nothing lands on a Friday when many shops are closed.
Calls from the browser
You call from your browser. Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarized right in the list, next to the shop you called.
Tailored messages
Every email is built from the list's columns, and an agent step rereads the shop's website or job postings to write the follow-up.
Stops on reply
As soon as a shop replies, the campaign stops for them. You take it from there, and the next follow-up never goes out on its own.
Frequently asked questions
Write “fab shops and plate shops in Ohio with 10 to 100 employees”. The agent searches public sources and professional databases, reads each website to check the shop really does fabrication or plate work, removes duplicates and closed companies, and hands you the city, headcount, phone and website for each. It takes a few minutes.
Ask the agent to read each shop's website: most list their equipment, their certifications and the industries they serve. The agent notes what's shown there, row by row. When nothing is published, the cell says “Not found”: it doesn't check with certification bodies.
Tell the agent once: “every morning, flag the shops on my list that post a welder, fitter or press brake operator opening”. The automation runs on its own, and the shops that just posted land at the top of your list with a “Hiring” badge, the role and the city.
An email in the early afternoon, a call two days later, an agent step that rereads the shop's website or job postings, then a follow-up in the same thread. Nothing goes out on Fridays, when many shops are closed. Emails leave from your own mailbox, calls from your browser are recorded, transcribed and summarized, and the sequence stops as soon as a shop replies.
For 300 shops with their website read, 250 verified owner emails and about a hundred cell phones, count around €70 of data on top of the subscription. An agency typically charges €1,500 to €2,500 for a comparable list, delivered once and never updated.See pricing
Yes. The agent reads each website and notes whether the shop builds to customer drawings, sells its own products (trailers, tanks, ag equipment, site furnishings) or both. The first buy capacity and quoting, the second buy marketing and distribution: you run one campaign per profile.
