ASPC’s Lean Vertical Integration Strategy in action 

One of our competitors who manufactures ground precision shim/spacers found that their product traveled about 760 miles to complete all the required manufacturing steps.

Here’s what our competitor was doing.

They would stamp the product, then send it to an outside heat treater, then to an outside tumbler, then to an outside grind shop and finishing shop….

As you can imagine, they had significant issues with time, distortion, and variables in handling.

On the other hand, ASPC’s Lean Vertical Integration Strategy allows us to complete the same required manufacturing steps in just 850 feet!
