our philosophy Most manufacturer reps/sales firms tend to shop around with many, many suppliers seeking ‘the cheapest price in town’. Unfortunately, the best things in life AREN’T FREE….you get what you pay for. Our approach is unique compared with many of the suppliers you have worked with in the past. We structure our business around two principles: CORE COMPETENCIES & SWEET SPOTS. This philosophy will always lead to delivering quality products at attractive prices.
understanding your suppliers
When dealing with rigid PCB & flex manufacturers, no two companies are alike. Unlike a McDonald’s or Subway franchise location, every facility is customized and set up differently. Each manufacturer has unique process methods, engineering software, operator experience levels, square footages, capital equipment, line capabilities, employee counts, etc… The experience of their personnel along with the equipment & software they possess will determine their capabilities. Most of their energies will be focused on this end of the business, thus a majority of the products manufactured in their facility will define their CORE COMPETENCY. Every company has their own special niche in which they excel. That's where you'll always find the most competitive pricing because it falls well within their range of capabilities. We also refer to this as their SWEET SPOT. It is where the company generates most of its revenue, gaining profitablity.
