Assembly of a Glass Repair Vacuum Pump for the Windshield Repair Industry
At Specialty Printing & Processing, we are committed to not only providing quality products to meet our customer’s needs, but also to evolving our services to grow along with the needs of our clients.
A customer in the Glass Repair Industry came to us initially for our screen printing services. We were first contracted to print labels; however, as our relationship with this client grew, so did the services that we provided. The labels we originally produced indicated operation features of their windshield repair systems. The printing of the labels grew to include their application, which grew into assembly of the system, which grew to include assembly as well as the manufacturing of all of the wiring harnesses. We are currently under contract for the assembly of 1,000 units per year.
As our customer’s needs grew into vacuum pump design and assembly, so did our offerings and expertise in the area. The customer came to us for assistance with manufacturing a modification for the vacuum pump. As we worked together to design the pump, it made perfect sense for us, the designers, to also assemble the product, as well as print and laminate labels for it. As the pumps were being assembled, we underwent in-process testing, including development of a test fixture to measure the vacuum of the pump utilizing the actual apparatus and test gauges. Using customer supplied assembly instructions, over 100 pumps were assembled and labeled within 7 days and shipped to the customer’s location in Westerville, Ohio. The customer was so pleased with our quality and turnaround that they’ve placed regular repeat orders. We currently provide this customer with 1,000 pieces annually, in orders of 100.
Specialty Printing & Processing is more than a printing house; we are a value-added manufacturer who can evolve to meet our customer’s needs. Contact us to learn more about our comprehensive offerings.
