Sustainable Parts Procurement in Fiber Optic Expansion: How Stern Technic and Xometry Make Cities Smarter

Updated: Jul 30, 2025


Rapid and sustainable fiber optic expansion is crucial for the digital future of our cities. However, traditional construction methods in urban areas are not only noisy and time-consuming but also resource-intensive and environmentally harmful. Efficiently overcoming these challenges requires reliable and swift procurement processes for high-quality components.


Why Sustainable Procurement Makes the Difference


Infrastructure projects in urban environments demand precision and efficiency—not just during installation but also from the planning and manufacturing phases of essential components. Sustainable procurement means responsibly using resources while maintaining the highest quality standards.
