GMSWW can do these things

October 5th, 2009

We are sometimes asked what type things can we do at our factory in West Jefferson, North Carolina.  I have briefly listed the primary items below.

RoHS, I.e. lead free assemblies with no up charge or leaded assemblies if that is required..

KanBan and order fulfillment for delivery to you for your just in time requirements.

Electromechanical assembly including light press work and light welding.

Full “box build” which works well when you would like us to put your finished goods on our shelf and then ship direct to your customer as you require.

Excellent MRP system to interface with your MRP system for low error rates.

Excellent, modern equipment with skilled operators to operate and manage assembly. We’re able to assemble very large SMT boards: 20 inches by 24 inches.

Great materials purchasing department to source components from around the globe.

Serious about ISO quality without the chaff and cost associated with lesser quality systems.

Employees with great work ethic, and always eager to get it right.

Reliable, honest customer service that makes the best look mediocre.

Fast quoting with your circuit board Gerbers and Bill of Materials.

Our low overhead assures you of competitive pricing.

I hope that you will soon let Global Manufacturing Services, Inc., GMSWW quote a project for you

Hiring too Early May be a Mistake

August 6th, 2009

As the recession recedes a bit, it is tempting to go out and hire a few extra workers to take care of a spat of orders.  But because this recession may go on for awhile, it likely makes more sense to contract out some of your electronic or electro-mechanical assembly work to companies like Global Manufacturing Services, Inc. in Western, North Carolina, and wait and see if the uptick is going to be sustainable.  We can quickly quote your work, set up the project in our fast turn factory all at a good price.   if you get repeat orders then we can continue to do the work or maybe then it will be time to call back or put on a few people.

Overseas sourcing can mean knashing of teeth

June 2nd, 2009

There are some great manufacturing operations overseas and we have long used our partners for good prices, and quality.  But not all overseas manufacturers were created equally and many times small time users think going overseas is a must do, until they discover that only qualified products, quantities and pricing is appropriate for offshore sourcing.  Made in America has merit.

Historically, we have used our offshore partners and would still in select cases, but more and more we are hearing horror stories of rising prices, poor quality, longer and longer lead times and misplaced orders and other tales of woe.  We here at Global Manufacturing Services, Inc. have always specialized in fast turn, low or at least reasonable prices and good quality.  And we try very hard to make doing business with us painless, and profitable for our customers.

So if you are looking for 100s or 1000s of boards to be on your dock at a specified time at a good price and unmatched quality, then please give us a call at (336) 246-5143.  I promise you we will get on it in a flash!!!
