Our Manufacturing Process
Quality, Precision, Flexibility & Efficiency
At Contract Production, we provide comprehensive electronics manufacturing services, from initial design and engineering to final product testing. Whether you need low volume pre-production prototypes or higher volume production runs, we ensure high-quality, reliable, and cost-effective manufacturing solutions tailored to meet your individual requirements.
1. Production Engineering – Optimised for Efficiency
The manufacturing process begins with a thorough review of all supplied data, designs, and drawings to ensure they align with our PCB manufacturing design rules and process parameters. Our engineering team identifies and resolves any potential issues with you before production, saving you time and costs whilst optimizing process tooling for manufacturing efficiency and quality.
Key Benefits:
- Design for Manufacture Analysis (DFM)
- Component Placement & Machine Programme Optimisation
- Optimisation of Process Efficiency
- Cost Saving Pre-Production Engineering Solutions
2. Component Procurement – Quality & Cost Savings
We manage the entire component sourcing and procurement process, leveraging our strong relationships with trusted partners and suppliers to secure high-quality components at competitive prices. Our strict supply chain management ensures we only source and purchase from proven, reliable suppliers ensuring all components are authentic and fit for purpose.
Why Choose Our Procurement Services?
- Cost Savings Through Bulk & Strategic Sourcing
