CNC contract manufacturers are easy to find. But partnering with the right one isn’t so simple.
As you search, scour, and select, here are five reasons our team at Star Engineering & Machining has set ourselves apart from the rest.
Some contract manufacturers try to be everything to everyone. They over promise and under deliver.
That’s not us. Like you, we know who we are. And equally important, we know who we aren’t.
Star Engineering & Machining specializes in mid-volume production runs of 50 – 50,000 pieces per year. Our capabilities and capacities are set up to fulfill orders within that range. Although we are open to talking about needs of any size, if you request 100,000+ pieces per year, we will be honest enough to tell you we aren’t the right fit. We may even be able to recommend another contract manufacturer.
We have been building a reputation as a trustworthy contract manufacturer for 55 years and counting. Throughout this time, many companies thanked us for being the one supplier that does not concern them when it comes to product delivery. In fact, we have been recognized by global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for having a 100% on-time delivery rate year after year.
Instead of being laser-focused on a single industry, we proudly serve:
This wide reach allows us to provide more solutions to more customers. Serving multiple industries challenges us to learn, grow, and innovate.
Assume nothing.
That’s our motto. From quote to delivery, the lines of communication are always open. And that goes both ways. If at any point in the process we are unsure about something, we will pick up the phone. This ensures that we stay on the same page and understand your expectations.
Continuous improvement is found here.
In recent years, we’ve invested in new machining tools and equipment, new software, and new people. This allowed us to increase capacity and capability while remaining ahead of the technology curve. In particular, the integration of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software into our process equips us to answer questions at the pace of your business.
As industry leaders in quality, our ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 certifications demonstrate our commitment to providing precision products per your specifications.
So, what should you look for in a contract manufacturer? A partner you can trust. Here at Star Engineering, we would love the opportunity to answer questions, demonstrate our expertise, and earn your business. To get started contact us today or request a quote.
