Our Manufacturing Capabilities
Because we do not represent any one factory, we can find resources to manufacture almost any product by any method required. Here is a list of our most typical manufacturing methods:
Quality Control
Designs Midwest Hong Kong was established to control the manufacturing process in China. Our experienced staff help to minimize the problems that can occur when conducting business with Asian factories and vendors.
How we can help!
If you have experienced any of the above while dealing with Chinese and other Asian Companies, then Designs Midwest can help you. We pride ourselves in putting you, the customer, first and the factories we contract second. We do not represent any one factory and therefore are not paid by any factory to promote only their business. We represent only you, the customer.
Does this sound familiar?
-
Parts of products are not built to the specifications of your engineering data.
-
Approval samples are received and approved but production shipments are manufactured to lower standards and quality.
-
There is a "communications blackout". No one returns emails or messages, or nobody speaks English.
-
Original price quotations suddenly change and rise in cost.
-
Parts have been shipped, but nobody knows where they are or why there is a delay in deliver.
-
You've received another company's products instead of yours.
-
Packages received are delivered in sub-standard packing materials and arrived damaged.
-
Off the shelf components that are sourced, are not to correct specifications given, although stated as a direct equivalant.
-
Incorrect or undesired quantities are delivered.
-
Products or components are manufactured poorly or out of tolerance, but shipped anyway
-
Tooling you own and have paid for is used for a competitor's product.
Working Prototypes
Don't commit to a major financial investment without knowing your results. We provide working prototypes so you can make informed decisions.
Tooling Fabrication & Design
Need to keep your production in the USA, but would like to reduce tooling costs and lead times. We can help with this too! We offer a quick turnaround time at an average cost savings of up to 30% less than buying the tooling domestically. Our manufacturers will work with you to develop a production tool that will fit properly to your machines and operate and function as you would expect it to.
