Executives from companies across varied industries provided the following insights into the benefits of contract manufacturing, and how the process can help maximize your company’s product portfolio:

W. Scott Fillebrown, President and CEO of ACD, believes that an effective contract manufacturing relationship will free your company to focus more on design and marketing of products. He also notes that contract manufacturers gain a process expertise, allowing you to optimize and bring products to the marketplace and to customers more efficiently.

Mike Tendick, Medical Market Sector Vice President for Plexus, believes that the key to a successful contract manufacturing relationship lies in your choice of manufacturing companies. Choosing a company that has the proper experience, expertise and capabilities to create your products can be key to the successful expansion and support of your company’s product portfolio.

Walley Johnson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Spectrum Assembly believes the contract manufacturing process provides three large benefits towards maximizing your product portfolio. First, the contract manufacturer offers a scalable manufacturing capability, allowing for flexible support of your manufacturing needs. Second, the CM focuses solely on the manufacturing process, and handles all facets of product creation, allowing you to focus your efforts elsewhere. Finally, CMs generally offer a broader base of expertise, allowing for the elimination of the learning curve during the initial manufacturing planning process.

Chris Munroe, Director of Engineering at Epic Technologies offers the view that OEMs have the opportunity to take advantage of technology or capabilities of the CM. By utilizing the technology, production capabilities or expertise of the CM, your company can improve your product, streamline the manufacturing process and eliminate superfluous expenses.
