We are not a brokerage firm and do not collect any commissions from our Network members. Nor are there any member fees paid by our Network members. We provide a service of managed manufacturing that many of our customers find invaluable. These manufacturing facilities including machine shops, platers, etc., are selected and certified as Network Members after extensive surveys and trials according to their ability to provide high quality work on time. Our Network Members contract with us at a reduced shop rate in return for a large volume of business, so the rate that the rate charged to our customers is generally no higher than if the work was done directly and often the rate is more competitive than local shops or high overhead aerospace shops.
Operational control is maintained through our itinerant and in-house inspectors.
Our central Inspection Department is also responsible for incoming material inspection, certifications and final inspection of each job. We strive very hard to maintain our high quality standards and are in the process of obtaining ISO certification. Several television and radio news broadcasts have featured us for our innovative approach to manufacturing.
