Contract manufacturers face intense pressure to keep their production processes streamlined, efficient and fast – without sacrificing quality.
It’s a tough business with many layers of difficulty outside their control, from cost pressures to labor shortages and supply chain chaos. Outsourcing any part of the production process under such conditions requires a lot of trust.
At the same time, attempting to take on part of the process outside your core expertise poses its own set of risks.
At Able Electropolishing, we recognize the importance of providing more than just a transactional service to our contract manufacturing customers. We are a partner in the production of critical and even life-saving products, for which unerring quality control is the baseline requirement.
We provide high-quality metal finishing services, but our real job is to make it easy for you to get your product to market safely, quickly, cost-effectively and with the flawless metal finishing results you need.
Here is how we do it.
Commitment to Quality
Quality control isn’t just a label used as a selling point. It’s a carefully built process honed by experience, expertise and continuous improvement. We’ve built our process over seven decades of innovation and collaboration with contract manufacturers and engineers in industries that include medical and pharmaceutical manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, electronics, semiconductor manufacturing, and more.
To ensure the highest quality finish, we start with a detailed part review, and prototype and preproduction processing. As an additional service we offer advanced surface analysis with a Keyence digital microscope, surface profiler and a JEOL benchtop SEM. Our in-house rack design and manufacturing, as well as custom blended chemical baths are part- specific to achieve the desired finish.
From prototyping to packaging, every step is designed to ensure the highest quality results.
Repeatable Consistency & Precision
As the world’s largest electropolishing specialist and a pioneer of the process, we achieve results you won’t find elsewhere for improving the finish, fit and function of your critical metal parts. But it wouldn’t be up to our standards if we couldn’t produce high-quality results consistently, across every part surface, from one production run to the next. That’s where Able Electropolishing results really shine.
Meticulous processes, after all, are only as good as the people, training, and tools used to ensure they are followed properly. Our team members are dedicated and well-trained, with an average of 10 years of experience. We also incorporate robotic automation for processing consistency.
Collaboration & Speed to Market
Even consistent, high-quality results only get you part of the way in a competitive marketplace. That’s why our customer support goes above and beyond high-quality finishing results.
Our contract manufacturing customers need fast, reliable, and occasionally expedited turnaround times to get their products to market on schedule. They need start-to-finish production support that can include additional services like in-house passivation verification testing and inspection analytics.
At Able Electropolishing, we have 22 production lines and operate three shifts 24/5 for unmatched capacity and the ability to provide next-day and second-day expedited delivery.
We offer an array of in-house support that can save contract manufacturers time and money, including help with accessing additional suppliers. We can also serve as your single point of communication for more efficient vendor management.
