Global supply chain disruptions have acutely turned US manufacturers' attention to domestic sources for their plastic injection molding projects. Flow-Rite meets this need with its recently expanded contract manufacturing program, utilizing over 40 years of thermoplastic experience in fluidics solutions to design, engineer, produce, assemble and ship virtually any size part—and meet its customers' deadlines.
The process begins with Flow-Rite's experienced staff who understand communication is key to a successful project. From ideation to production to shipping, the client is kept informed to be confident that parts will arrive on time and their product quotas met.
Onsite engineers and technicians work with the client to create the ideal mold for the project, whether it's single or multiple cavity, or family injected design. Flow-Rite manufactures to ISO 9001 standards, so it understands quality and precision. It has machining capabilities with accuracy down to 0.001". Its 14 state-of-the-art injection molding presses range from 60 to 850 tons of clamping pressure and accept nearly all plastic materials.
If assembly or post-care is needed, Flow-Rite is ready to assist. Trained and highly-skilled staff leverage the company's extensive tool and equipment inventory to ensure consistency and high quality in every part manufactured.
Because of its cost-efficient Midwest location and established logistics, Flow-Rite retains an enviable 99% on-time delivery record. Whether ordering a small box of parts or a pallet, customers can rest assured they'll arrive on schedule and ready for use.
"As a manufacturer ourselves, we understand the challenges companies face when it comes to supply fluctuations," said Todd Hart, Flow-Rite president. "We produce over 100 million molded parts a year, supplying over 35 OEM customers. Whether it's a small run or large, we're ready to assist companies and help them succeed."
Flow-Rite is a vertically integrated company that designs and manufactures a wide range of fluid control and IoT devices, with decades of experience in marine, RV, industrial and battery care sectors. Its products are made using green production processes and materials. Consistently voted among West Michigan's Best and Brightest Companies to Work For, Flow-Rite employees regularly donate their time to charitable organizations.
