A flexible approach with options that work for you

Manufacturing gives us the ability to turn ideas into reality and we do it with an approach that fits your specific needs. We can operate as your CM, OEM, or take a blended approach. Ranging from small batch to full-scale production, from prototype and pilot build to long-term manufacturing, we support complete products, peripheral accessories, and sub-assemblies. We specialize in low-to-medium production volumes, addressing a market often dismissed by larger CMs, but critical to portfolio strategies across multiple sectors. Our development, production, and quality system is flexible enough to deal with the rigors of medical device, while not placing undue burden on commercial and industrial products.

We take on a product with the same dedication as if it were our own

Utilizing our 30+ years of production, our operations teams work with you to ensure that the product you want to make is solving the right problem and becomes a successful business. We work with you on product cost, volume projections, and capital constraints as important design requirements and business considerations to be addressed early in development. Post launch, we perform continuous improvement activities to improve the bottom line and address customer needs.
