In releasing the OEM Cross Reference 2025, Stony Point introduces a strategic resource built to bridge original equipment manufacturer (OEM) identifiers with equivalent parts and references across industrial, aerospace, and defense applications. This guide is more than a parts directory — it reflects our commitment to clarity, precision, and long-term operational resilience across our network of companies.
Technical industries are common in which OEM part numbers differ among manufacturers and systems. Such inconsistency makes sourcing, maintenance and system integration difficult. A cross reference guide is used to standardize these identifiers so that engineers, buyers and supply chain teams can translate part numbers across brands and suppliers without compromising accuracy and compliance.
This guide can assist Stony Point portfolio and partners in ensuring consistency, minimizing redundancy, and simplifying procurement processes. It facilitates compatibility among suppliers and reduces the risk of making wrong substitutions — a very important measure in ensuring system integrity and uptime.
This effort is fully aligned with the principles detailed in our Investment Process — ensuring that technical and operational due diligence underpin every decision we make.
The OEM Cross Reference 2025 is structured in a manner that makes it efficient and accessible. It cross-tabulates components by OEM number, component type, and compatibility notes. Each entry will match the original part number of the manufacturer with known equivalent parts of other suppliers, with any applicable technical annotations, tolerance, or revision level.
Where part changes or replacements are available, the guide has clearly indicated those changes, which allows users to follow the history of the upgraded or discontinued parts. This design is accurate and accommodates users who operate legacy equipment or multi-generation systems.
It is, in its essence, a living document — which is supposed to change with the changes in technology, the consolidation of suppliers, and the regulatory standards.
In the case of portfolio companies in the Stony Point ecosystem, the cross reference guide creates a common technical framework. It reduces inter-team confusion, minimizes the chances of having duplicate or outdated inventory, and enables integrated sourcing strategies.
This document is a source of authority in acquisition due diligence and technical audits — it proves supplier equivalences, parts compatibility, and operational maturity. To investors and management teams that is a direct translation of less risk and more confidence in supply continuity.
Further insights into how our holdings apply this type of technical rigor can be found in our Portfolio section.
Maintaining a document of this scale requires structured oversight. Each revision of the OEM Cross Reference is reviewed semiannually to incorporate supplier updates, new OEM releases, and obsolescence notices. Change logs ensure traceability and accountability across every revision.
Our internal teams collaborate with suppliers to confirm that equivalences meet engineering and regulatory standards before publication. The guide functions as both a procurement reference and a compliance safeguard.
This approach mirrors industry best practices, such as the component mapping systems maintained by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG), which promotes global standardization in parts traceability and supplier performance. Similar methodologies are also applied in manufacturing and energy sectors, where component equivalence directly affects safety and performance outcomes.
To utilize the guide, the user will find his OEM part number in the index, and then will read through the listed alternatives and compatibility notes. Technical teams must ensure that the alternative satisfies all the functional, dimensional, and material requirements before finalizing a substitution.
To make sure that suppliers are clear, procurement professionals may add these cross reference details to purchase orders or internal documentation. In the long run, as the procurement systems incorporate such data, teams will be able to rationalize inventories, remove duplicates, and use volume-based sourcing.
External references like the Fleetguard Cross Reference Tool also demonstrate how standardized mapping enhances operational efficiency — reinforcing the importance of having a verified and transparent equivalence system.
The OEM Cross Reference 2025 embodies Stony Point’s dedication to operational excellence and technical precision. By consolidating part equivalence data, we empower our partners, suppliers, and portfolio companies to make informed decisions that reinforce performance and reliability.
As industries become more complex and supply chains more interdependent, tools like this ensure resilience and scalability. We encourage all collaborators to access the complete document here and integrate it into their procurement and engineering systems.
Through discipline, clarity, and shared standards, we continue to build strong, future-ready operations — a reflection of the long-term values that define Stony Point.
