Offering large scale production thanks to an efficient organization and international partners
Comprehensive employee training and strong supply chain relationships have eliminated many of the constraints found in other contract manufacturing models:

- comprehensive employee training
- strong supply chain relationships
Our award-winning Grand Rapids facility uses Lean manufacturing principles to provide a cost competitive U.S. manufacturing solution, close to our customers’ Midwest engineering teams. Our standardized approach to equipment, processes and personnel training enables this work to stay in the U.S., or easily transition to our Mexico facility (Juarez). We also have a proven track record simultaneously launching projects with partners, such as LACROIX Electronics.
