Our vetting process

1. Information Form
   This is the first step that allows us to discover your manufacturing capabilities and ensure you meet our minimum requirements.
2. Preliminary meeting
   If we think your capabilities are a good fit for what we are looking for, we will send you an NDA to sign and schedule a meeting or conference call with you to get to know each other and exchange any questions we might have.
3. Capabilities testing
   We use a wide range of test parts for all the technologies we offer, each with its own specifications. We use these to test not only your company’s ability to produce a part according to specifications but also your ability to send parts on time and with proper inspection, packaging, and shipping practices.
4. On-boarding
   Once you’ve completed the previous steps, we sign a Manufacturing Partner Agreement with you and provide you with all the information and guides to get familiar with our internal systems. You’ll then start receiving your first order offers.
