Contract Manufacturing

A vital part of all manufacturing is contract manufacturing that assists with the production of different components and parts of a product. The process allows companies to collaborate with Abtec in the use of equipment, resources, and personnel. Contract manufacturing is the result of 21st-century communications and Abtec’s technological innovations that expand a customer’s network and allows them to take advantage of the many possibilities Abtec provides.

Advantages of Abtec Contract Manufacturing

Product Quality Reduced Costs Savings on Resources Reduced Labor Costs Improved Time to Market Technical Insight

Scalable Product Runs Supports Small Businesses Complete End to End Control On Time Deliveries Accurate Production Costs Increased Profits

Aside from being a practical method of manufacturing for small startup companies to large conglomerates, Abtec contract manufacturing provides a wide range of benefits that vary with the conditions under which a product is designed, engineered, and planned. In the simplest terms, Abtec provides large and small companies with plastic parts production processes for the manufacture of plastic injection molded products.

Plastic injection molding involves the use of specialized equipment operated by skilled trained craftsmen. For example, if a company has designed a new type of plastic door handle, they will need injection molding equipment with the necessary tooling to produce their design. The collaborative contract manufacturing process provided by Abtec makes it possible for designers to work with Abtec to produce computer renderings that can be transformed into viable products.

Abtec’s contract manufacturing process opens a new spectrum of possibilities and allows customers of any size to compete in areas that would be otherwise inaccessible. The foundation of Abtec’s contract manufacturing process is a business agreement with Abtec that includes the specific services that Abtec will provide. Each aspect of the agreement clearly lays out Abtec’s responsibilities with a concise timeline as to when products will be delivered.

Cost Saving

One of the main considerations of manufacturers is producing a product at a low enough cost to make a product profitable and not increase the cost to customers. This aspect of Abtec’s contract manufacturing is one of the reasons for Abtec’s popularity as an injection molding provider. Companies that require injection molding services contract with Abtec to produce their products without incurring the costs of new machinery, workers, tooling, workspace, and all of the factors related to producing a product. Working together, Abtec and its customers become manufacturing partners with shared goals and objectives for mutual success.
