Assembly & Packaging
When it comes to manufacturing, PMC is here to make your life easier. During the product life cycle, we help you engineer your parts so they best meet your specific functional requirements using the most appropriate materials, machine your parts to exacting tolerances, and apply specialty finishing processes. But our services don’t end there… we can assemble and package your parts so they are ready for final assembly when they arrive at your location. Additionally, for risk management, we provide full transparency into raw materials and components through identification of lot or batch numbers for inventory tracking.
Inventory Management Program
For the customers who place orders on a regular schedule, we offer our Inventory Management Program. This proactive inventory management program guarantees your product is stocked to agreed-upon minimum/maximum levels, eliminating long lead times and removing the need for annual blanket purchase orders. For your JIT assembly lines, we can meet large order requirements and stock your inventory, shipping to your schedules for final assembly and finishing. With an annual review, you are able to adjust quantities up or down as your needs shift.

PMC takes quality control very seriously, especially considering that we work on medical components and parts that go into safety products of every variety. That is why we are working to achieve ISO Certification for both general manufacturing and medical device manufacturing. These rigorous standards will allow us to demonstrate our ability to consistently provide product that meets your stringent requirements, as well as applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, while also ensuring that quality is consistently improved.
Our Quality Assurance Program is highly regarded by our customers as it helps to prevent costly mistakes. We will gladly share details on our procedures, including documentation, calibration control, and inspection/testing methods, upon request.
