Coating Processes Done In America
After coating literally millions of parts since 1983 we’ve learned two great big things: coatings should be applied robotically and that there are lots of advantages to working within the United States.
Here’s why:
- Better access to material sources – you save time and shipping costs by locating your coating processes as close to U.S. based material sources as possible.
- Proximity to markets – you again save lots in shipping costs by having your products as close to market as possible…shorten inventory turn cycles and there’s less of a chance of goods being damaged in transit.
- Program Start Up and Inspection – Do you really want to spend loads of time in China hashing out your start up and quality control processes? Can you afford to go overseas anytime there are production issues?
- Freight Costs – Many companies fail to factor freight in their cost calculations, leaving a rather unpleasant surprise at the end of their project. Needless to say, it costs much more in freight costs for U.S. companies to do work in China or other foreign nations.
- Landed Costs – Again, many companies only look at their costs of production, failing to consider poor yield rates, shipping, accounting and monetary issues and more. Compare landed costs of U.S. companies with overseas rivals and you’ll know why the U.S. option is your best choice.
- Higher Performance Standards – In virtually every manufacturing study available, the U.S. is the quality performance leader. PF Technologies lives up to that standard since 1983.
