As a longtime component provider for the marine, automotive, and industrial sectors, we understand the importance of staying ahead in a competitive landscape. That’s why we continue to expand on our in-house design and manufacturing capabilities. Keeping these services within our own facilities offers distinct advantages to our partners around the world. In this article, we’ll highlight some of our in-house capabilities and how they can benefit you.
The Advantage of In-House Design
There are several advantages to working with an in-house design and engineering team. Three of the most notable benefits are greater control, increased flexibility, and speed of delivery.
Control
Working with an in-house design team often means more control throughout the process. From the initial concept stage through final design, we are able to craft products to meet the highest standards of quality and performance. This results in more consistent output for you.
Flexibility
Organizations that outsource some or all of their design and manufacturing process often work under strict guidelines. Unfortunately, this approach doesn’t allow for much flexibility.
At KUS, we understand that every project requires a different approach. We pride ourselves on being able to adapt to the unique requirements of our customers. This allows us to offer solutions that go beyond the competition. When you partner with KUS, we’ll work with your business to incorporate input into the design process, resulting in a better finished product.
Speed
Speed is one of the greatest advantages of in-house design. Our agile design process allows us to quickly respond to changing trends and customer demands. Shorter turnaround times mean we can deliver products to customers faster so your important timelines stay on track.
Our Streamlined Manufacturing Process
We continue to invest in state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and equipment to complement our design process. This gives us better control over the production process from start to finish.
Our wide array of manufacturing capabilities for our OEM partners includes:
- Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) Machining. Using advanced technology, we can precisely shape and cut materials to meet precise specifications.
- Tube Forming and Bending. We have the expertise and machinery to create custom tubing solutions for varied applications.
- Plastics Molding and Processing. Our plastic molding capabilities allow us to produce premium, durable components with exceptional precision.
- Rubber Mixing, Molding, and Processing. We can create rubber components with different properties based on specific needs and preferences.
- Metal Brazing. Our industry-leading brazing technologies can ensure strong and reliable joints for metal components.
- Wave Soldering & Surface-Mount Technology. We have advanced soldering capabilities to assemble electronic components with precision and efficiency.
Quality control is among our top priorities in manufacturing. KUS adheres to stringent regulations and remains committed to excellence. From our selection of raw materials to final assembly, every step of the manufacturing process is monitored to meet or exceed industry standards.
How Our Approach Benefits Customers
Our in-house design and manufacturing capabilities translate into direct benefits for new and returning customers. In addition to our customized solutions, we also offer a wide range of off-the-shelf products — manufactured in-house — available for on demand delivery.
Our in-house capabilities allow us to provide cost-effective solutions without compromising quality. We can eliminate the need for unnecessary middlemen and reduce lead times to optimize operations. The resulting cost savings can then be passed on to customers like you.
