Assembly and secondary operations for machined components.

Light assembly bundles machined parts into subassemblies or kits, reducing handling on the OEM side and consolidating quality documentation under a single supplier.

FAQ

Engineering FAQs

The questions engineering and procurement teams ask most often before a first quote.

Do you do electrical assembly?

No — assembly capability is light mechanical only. Wiring, soldering, and electrical test are outside our scope.

Can you assemble customer-supplied components with in-house machined parts?

Yes, with appropriate documentation and a defined bill of materials.
