“A Supplier Who Handles the ‘Complicated Stuff’”

A mid-size packaging-equipment company was redesigning its carton-forming machine. The new design required:

• Laser-cut stainless plates
• Welded frames
• Several machined gears & shaft
• Plastic machined guides
• BOM filled with custom fasteners

Normally this meant managing many different vendors, causing delays and cost overruns. They brought in Weigel & Associates. W&A help coordinate the entire build:

• Laser cutting and metal fabrication through one principal
• CNC machined gears and shafts through their gear specialist
• Machine guides through our plastics partner
• Fasteners sourced from their hardware network

The company went from juggling several suppliers to just one project manager at W&A.

Impact:
✔ Faster build cycles
✔ Lower total cost
✔ Better quality consistency
✔ Fewer headaches for engineering and purchasing teams
