TYPICAL COMPETITOR

Six materials.
One qualified source.

Most extruders run three materials and call it a catalog. We carry six in-house with validated tooling — including co-extrusion capability that most shops outsource entirely.

3× tighter
than the norm.

When a door seal gaps by 0.1 mm, wind noise enters at 80 mph. When medical tubing drifts by 0.1 mm, flow rates change. Our ±0.05 mm band isn't a marketing claim — it's a process capability we document on every first-article inspection report.

CALENDAR DAYS · PRODUCTION SCHEDULE

10 days.
Not 8 weeks.

In-house CNC tooling on H13 tool steel means we don't wait for a subcontractor. Send us a drawing on Monday; hold approved samples the following week. NPI schedules don't care about your supplier's queue.
