What is contract manufacturing?

At Engineering Plastics, contract manufacturing is a turnkey production service which includes:

• product design

• prototyping

• testing

• process design

• tooling

• child part sourcing

• short-run / long-run production

• secondary operations

• assembly

• inspection and analysis

• packaging

• shipping

• other value-added services

As a customer, you can choose the level or depth of engagement from us that best fits your business needs. Although our contract manufacturing and on-demand manufacturing services can both fulfil one-time or recurring requirements, the former is usually for longer projects or larger production volumes, while the latter is more often for shorter or lower volume projects.

Who is contract manufacturing for?

Organisations looking to focus on their core competencies outside of manufacturing will benefit from our contract manufacturing services. This includes large OEMs and lean startups alike, across the automotive, industrial, scientific, agriculture, consumer goods, or medical verticals.

By freeing up resources that would otherwise be allocated to facility management, machinery, tooling, training, maintenance, manufacturing inventory, labour, and supplier management, organisations can leverage their strengths in research, strategy, marketing, or other domains.

Through our expertise with sourcing and manufacturing, and our ability to deliver assemblies or finished products around the world, Engineering Plastics boosts your time-to-market, ROI, and competitive edge.

Contact us to discuss your requirements with any ongoing or upcoming manufacturing project. If you’re not sure about what process would best suit your needs, our manufacturing experts would be happy to help with a free assessment, generally within 1 business day.
