Spacey Corporation (SpaceY) is a distribution of exotic steel, aluminium, and titanium alloys to the aerospace industry and to other specialty industries. These metals meet exceptionally exacting standards because they become parts in airplanes, rockets, industrial furnaces, mining equipment, deep sea drilling endeavours, and other high-performance products. SpaceY sells raw materials produced in the form of bars, rods, sheets, filings, rings, and forgings. In turn, SpaceY customers use these materials to fabricate the final products. Many SpaceY customers are parts suppliers to end-product assemblers such as Boeing Aircraft, Lockheed Martin, Bombardier, Gulfstream, Cessna, etc. SpaceY maintains a sales staff to sell these metals, and the company stores its products in seven warehouses throughout the country. They obtain their products from steel and metal manufacturers through North America. If a customer requests a product not carried by SpaceY, the company will special-order it from an appropriate supplier
