Full Turnkey Provider
Since 1998, Pentar has been committed to providing our customers with more than the typical build-to-print contract manufacturing model. With in-house expertise in design and development, value engineering, ISO 9001:2015 registration and other government agency certifications, we are able to assist our clients in ways ordinary contract manufacturers cannot. As such, we strive to understand each client’s goals and work together to achieve them.
Contract Manufacturing
Pentar offers our clients in-house assembly, test, packaging, and drop-shipping capabilities from prototype to high-volume production quantities. Electronic assemblies include surface mount technology (SMT), as well as through-hole. Complete box build and mechanical assemblies are functionally tested, with full environmental testing also available.
When volumes and/or cost considerations justify off-shore production, Pentar can provide turnkey manufacturing and project management. With dedicated US and China based operations, Pentar conducts a thorough manufacturer resource evaluation to ensure the ideal factory is selected based on each client’s unique requirements. As an extra measure of quality control, local staff is always utilized to confirm in-factory processes, testing, and packaging. In addition, if required, Pentar will conduct final QA and testing in our Huntsville facility prior to final shipment.
Value Engineering
An important service provided to all Pentar clients is proactive value engineering. We realize our customer’s success is our success, therefore, our engineers take the initiative to evaluate products, components, and processes in order to make recommendations that will result in improved quality, increased productivity and reduced cost.
