Prototek Daily Production Meeting

A daily production meeting provides a clear line of sight of our manufacturing objectives and helps to reinforce our quick turn requirements. Our kanban system ensures we always have a complete stock of all common sheet metal types, consisting of over $120,000 of aluminum , steel, spring steel, titanium, tubing, channel, G-10, lexan, stainless, poly covered stainless, mirrored stainless, brass, copper, and much more. We also keep a very large stock of well over $10,000 in PEM hardware, as turn times have always been our niche, so we take every step necessary to guarantee our customers get their parts as quickly as possible. With our sophisticated scanning software, employees scan in and out of every job so our customer service can quickly find jobs if a customer makes a change or just wants to check up on their parts. Our suppliers are carefully chosen to meet our just-in-time needs by delivering materials within a day for those rare materials we do not stock. Prototek manufactures and ships products throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Germany, according to our customers' rapid prototyping of precision machining requirements, utilizing trucking companies that offer next day shipping, LTL and full truck load deliveries. At Prototek we also have our own arsenal of trucks and drivers to deliver straight to your door in applicable cases.

Prototek Increases Production Through Outsourcing

Prototek Sheet Metal Fabrication and Prototek Machining is beginning an outsourcing campaign to developing countries to increase production and lower cost and lead times while retaining only the highest of quality.
Prototek is one of the top companies in the country to offer rapid prototyping of precision sheet metal and CNC machining. This will allow Prototek to become one of the largest quality conscious suppliers of precision sheet metal and CNC machining in the country to emphasize on quick turn around time for their ITAR and non-ITAR customers alike.
“When looking for a good fit with Prototek, hundreds of foreign companies are put through a rigorous process to ensure that quality, pricing, and delivery are to our highest of standards. We have found that by having the parts finished here at our facility by assembling and installing hardware only made in America helps control the quality of our customers’ parts.” Stated Prototek’s production manager, Brian Francoeur.
Some of the developing countries that Prototek has been targeting to find the right quality conscious vendors of quick turn sheet metal and rapid CNC machining are China, Mexico, Malaysia, Peru, Ukraine, and India, as well as a few others. The handful of vendors that complete and pass their testing process must have quality control systems in place starting with the current ISO programs and meet their country’s top quality programs.
Prototek Manufacturing began in 1987 as a family owned and operated business as a supplier of quick turn precision sheet metal and machined products for the prototype markets. Today we are still a family owned and operated business to ensure customers only receive the best sheet metal and machined prototypes and short run production parts. Our quality and turn times continue to be among the best in the industry. Serving industries such as robotics, semi-conductor, telecommunications, military, pharmaceutical, medical, computer technologies and aeronautics, Prototek Manufacturing includes machining, plating, painting, powder coating, silk screening and assembly capabilities all under the same roof to help save our customers time and money on their finished parts requirements.
