What is Contract Manufacturing and its Benefits?

Simply put, a contract manufacturer is a manufacturing firm that helps other manufacturing companies. Let’s say a client, Company X, is a manufacturer of automotive parts. The company is launching a new product but lacks some equipment needed in the production process. What are their choices? First, they can buy the equipment and train their personnel to use it. But this is incredibly expensive and would take months, if not years, to get up to speed. Second, they could decide to not make the product. But that would likely cause them to lose out on a valuable market. Third, they can turn to a contract manufacturing company like CTI.

CTI can step in as a partner to help Company X produce this product. Of course, they can merely act as extension of facilities for Company X. But CTI can offer much more than that. To start, they maintain a massive, state-of-the-art facility with all the latest and most innovative equipment. And their staff is the most knowledgeable and experienced in the industry. So, they can help clients with virtually any challenge. In fact, CTI can even forward finished goods to the next step in the supply chain.

This arrangement has many benefits for Company X. First, they are able to solve a very pressing problem quickly and efficiently. Second, this solution is far more cost-effective than any other solution. They don’t need to invest the time and capital in setting up equipment and training personnel. So, they can get up and running quickly and start turning a profit. Third, they will have a trustworthy, valuable partner in CTI. That’s why clients in many different industries turn to CTI for help solving challenges.

And many more!

But that’s not all. CTI can also process many different classes of coatings. From hot melts to water-based, thermoplastic to water-repellent or fire-retardant, they can handle it. Their facility includes hot air drying and room temperature curing to handle all adhesive processes. That means they can raise cure temperatures up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Don’t Just Take Their Word for It

Like most good companies, CTI believes that their track record speaks louder than anything else ever could. That’s why they’ve dedicated a section of their website to their many success stories helping other clients. Real clients need someone and they can trust. And any company can make promises. But how do you know if they can deliver? Testimonials from customers can help put prospective clients at ease. Plus, these case studies can let clients see how CTI has helped other clients with specific challenges. Chances are, they have helped a client facing a similar challenge. But if not, clients can at least see the innovative and unique methods CTI has for helping clients.

For example, a company was recently looking for an open, lightweight, fiberglass material to be used in the wind and energy industry. CTI started by working to understand the client’s specific needs and what they needed the product to do. Based on those requirements, CTI was able to produce several variations for testing. This allowed the client to determine which product would work best for their needs. Once this was determined, CTI began production of the product at a yearly volume of 3 million feet. The rolls for the coating were all 24 inches in diameter but varied in width. CTI was able to deliver on time and on budget and expand their capabilities in the process. Thanks to CTI, the client is now able to offer an improved product to its clients.

A Results-Driven Process

So, what makes a company an industry leader? To start, it takes relying on a proven, successful, repeatable process. That way, success is not an accident, but simply the result of following that process. CTI has built much of its success on a unique, five-step process that maximizes success for all clients. Check out the steps of this process below:

Initial Consultation—start with a free consultation. During this step, CTI will see if their capabilities are a match for clients’ needs. That way, neither party wastes valuable time. But chances are they will be able to help and this first step will get the project kicked off on the right foot.
Research & Development—testing things out in manufacturing can be cost-prohibitive. That’s why CTI offers research and development services to clients. Clients can utilize CTI’s equipment, facilities and expertise to test new methods and materials. This is a truly unique service that very few companies offer.
Lab Testing/Sample—sometimes, the only way to properly gauge a product is to hold a sample. That’s why CTI offers the ability to produce a sample at any stage of this process. Best of all, costs are minimal, depending on materials that need to be used. In fact, there is often no cost at all for a sample.
Pilot Run—pilot runs are an invaluable step of any operation. Clients can feel confident that products and processes are perfect before committing to full production. Using their manufacturing facility for this step can save both time and money down the road.
Production—why go through these other four steps before production? So that production, the most expensive step, goes smoothly and there are no surprises. This is one of the many ways that CTI helps its clients prepare for success.
