Contact Us

How long does it take you to respond to a Request for a quote?

As a small, agile company, we do not have the red tape that slows down your operation. As soon as we receive an RFQ, we will work on it, contact you for any clarification, and get the answers you need without worrying about going through multiple levels of managerial approval. Typically, quotes can be sent to you within a few days or a couple weeks depending on its complexity.



What would you do if your customer notified you of a quality issue with what you sent them?

We work very hard to prevent this, but in the real world it is possible for there to be a rare issue with an undetected defect. We always react rapidly to get reworked/replacement assemblies to you as soon as we possibly can. We also determine the root cause of any cable failure and redesign the work process to include any necessary additional quality checks to prevent similar issues in the future.
