We focus on our special niche, ‘difficult to do assemblies that require machine and human interface and that benefit from production flexibility’. Most of our assemblies are highly specialized and require capable, knowledgeable and trained employees. Because turnover is very low, this knowledge is not lost.

All of our correspondences with customers are in English, unless Spanish is preferred. Communication with our clients is a critical link in our success and we strive to keep that link as short as possible. We also have VoIP so that we can communicate quickly and cost effectively.

We have several engineers on staff and can add more as needed. There is a large pool of talented individuals locally for all needed areas of our company, so growth is not a problem.

Building space is also not a problem as there is a great deal of room to grow internally and within our Free Zone.

Our operators are crossed trained so that we can maintain an efficient work flow and flexibility.

Here are Some of Our Current Assemblies:

• Brushless DC Motors
• Minature Motor Rotors & Stators (up to 46 gauge magnet wire)
• Minature Slip Rings & Brush Blocks
