It's Not Bond, but it's Not Bad

As I sat in the theater watching Goldfinger in 1964, I had no idea I’d someday be using the very same technology. That doesn’t mean I have an Aston Martin DB5, I’m sorry to say. I’m talking about the famous scene in which James Bond is almost bisected by the title character’s laser. At Wisco Industries, we stopped doing that sort of thing years ago, but our laser cutting abilities still impress me.

When you’re looking for a modern metalworking partner, find out all you can about their laser cutting services. When properly executed, laser cutting beats conventional methods in speed and accuracy. Wisco uses 4,500 watts of power. We have quick programming and setup plus can operate 24/7 unattended. During overnight hours or on weekends, we can remotely monitor operations and verify everything’s running smoothly. Forty-plus years ago, this kind of technology was the stuff of fantasy. Today, it’s reality. Here are a few links to read more about our metal stamping, metal fabrication, contract manufacturing and custom metal stamping.

Why the Far East is a Long Shot

Why the Far East is a Long Shot

A lot of folks have been asking me how Wisco Industries is faring against Chinese competitors who can often undercut American firms’ prices considerably. I’m proud to say we’re up to the challenge, especially in the long run. When you’re comparing quotes, keep these things in mind:

• Are they ISO 9001:2000 with Design-certified, to ensure consistent quality?
• Will they bother to listen to your needs or just try to make a sale?
• Who are you going to call when problems arise, and when can they be reached?
• Does their price include clearance through US Customs, and how long will that delay delivery?

Once you look at the bigger picture, that lowball quote might not seem like such a great deal, and rightly so. The most important consideration is total cost of ownership.

The Pros and Cons of Contract Manufacturing

Your manufacturing company has probably faced a common catch-22: you need to produce a specialty product to meet a client’s immediate needs, yet you have trouble doing so profitably with existing equipment and/or manpower. That’s when contract manufacturing and assembly can be worthwhile. This scenario doesn’t require you to compromise existing resources or invest heavily in additional labor or machinery. It may not be a cure-all, however, since a given contract manufacturer may not offer the best solution to your needs. You need to perform due diligence as you would with any outside solution. Strong considerations include evaluation of pre-production samples, meeting delivery dates and quality parameters plus adhering to agreed-upon costs. An established contract manufacturing firm like Wisco Industries should take the time and understand your constraints to develop a feasible solution.

Contract manufacturing also opens the door to other topics; including custom metal stamping, laser cutting services, metal fabrication and metal stamping. Feel free to follow the links on each and learn more. Or, if you'd like a full look at Wisco you may view the sitemap.
