About North America Business

North America Business is the U.S.-focused division of Zetwerk, built to support OEMs and Tier-1 companies with scalable, high-quality manufacturing out of India and Vietnam. We deliver precision-engineered components across fabrication, casting, machining, forging, and plastic injection molding—serving a wide range of industries including industrial equipment, construction, energy, and transportation.

Our goal is to simplify global manufacturing for U.S.-based companies through a tightly integrated model that blends offshore production with localized support and fulfillment. From engineering alignment to final delivery, Zetwerk acts as a dependable extension of your manufacturing and supply chain functions.

North America Business offers end-to-end manufacturing execution—from production planning to quality assurance, logistics, and delivery. All components are manufactured in India or Vietnam and delivered directly to the United States, with optional value-added services such as kitting, final machining, or warehousing managed through our U.S.-based operations. Our model enables U.S. businesses to confidently scale production, reduce costs, and mitigate supply chain risks without sacrificing control or quality. Backed by robust digital systems, structured quality frameworks, and program management teams on both ends, we offer predictable, transparent, and timely execution across every order.

Our objective is to establish Zetwerk – North America Business as the most reliable offshore manufacturing partner for industrial companies in the United States.
