Prototek continues to decrease lead times, making them the fastest rapid manufacturing and prototype sheet metal and machine shop plant in the country, and possibly the US. Prototek has incorporated painting, plating, powder coating, and silk screening to their list of capabilities, as well as maintaining a large stock of material, PEM hardware, and assembly hardware. These new additions allow Prototek to save the customer days of production time, lowering average lead times by 20%!
Prototek is now able to carry many colors and textures of paint and powder coat, eliminating the need to send sheet metal and machined metal parts out to multiple vendors. They can also plate prototype and production parts with RoHS chromate, anodize, and iridite, and silkscreen in any color and any size.
Prototek's stock of sheet metal is key in producing quality parts in a limited time frame. With six large rack systems, they almost always have the required material in stock. The same can also be said about their nine large hardware racking systems, carrying about one thousand types of hardware at any given time!
Production meetings are held early every day, covering all jobs coming in, jobs to be programmed, jobs being worked on on, and jobs that have to ship. This allows for all managers to be on the same page, and in a team fashion, strategically place employees on jobs and departments as they see fit to maintain their rapid prototype and production lead times.
