ASSEMBLIES
Large / medium scale production (500+ units per build) is handled by our Far East partner, Tradpost Technology in Hong Kong / China (see link buttons on this page). We have been working with Tradpost since 1999 and have a very established relationship. Approximately 80% of our production is built by Tradpost.
Medium / small scale production is handled either in-house at our Gloucestershire premises or by associate UK CEMs
Key Points:
Far East costs. We expect to be approximately 20-30% below UK prices of comparable quality.
Local project management.
Local validation. We exhaustively check BOMs, specifications, test procedures. Experience has shown it is essential for the data package to be correct and comprehensive before contemplating manufacture, especially if production is destined for the Far East.
Local technical support. Alternate component sourcing in the event of obsolescence or shortage.
Local purchasing. 80% of components are bought locally by our own staff. We ship weekly to the Far East.
Local PCB data validation. See separate section on Printed Circuit Board manufacture.
Production Engineering. We regard it as our duty to suggest more cost effective alternatives wherever possible.
Quality manufacture. Our factories are ISO9002 and UL certified
Pre-production samples. Routinely supplied (at standard price) before bulk production starts.
Pre-shipment photographs. We inspect photographs of every shipment before they leave the factory to ensure perfect product before it arrives in the UK.
Costing transparency. Every line on the BOM is detailed with cost, MOQ and lead time. Setup costs are detailed separately.
UK credit terms. No pre-payments or Letters of Credit required.
Additional:
Local prototypes at zero profit. We are happy to support the early stages of your product by building prototypes at zero profit.
Local manufacture. If your product is not ready for bulk Far East manufacture we can build locally (either in-house or UK CEM) until quantities grow.
Large and small scale. If your product range requires small scale as well as large scale build we can arrange manufacture at the most suitable factory (either in-house, UK CEM or Far East).
Check List / Sample BOM. A build checklist and sample BOM can be downloaded in Excel format from the link in the page.
Cable Assemblies and Looms. We have been building cable assemblies in China since 2002.
