Precision Manufacturing at the Speed of Today’s Business World 


Thinking Two Steps Ahead…
With proper planning and flawless execution, speed-to-market can be achieved, even in tough situations. But achieving speed-to-market is more than having fast machines.  To have a true competitive advantage, one must also consider quality, precision, and performance. At Harbec we have developed a culture defined by planning and preparedness, disciplined project management, operational excellence, and continuous improvement. We work hard to be proactive in all that we do: responding to quotes and customer inquiries, product inspections and quality, and care for our employees and the environment. Business is complex. Vigilant planning goes a long way to minimize risk and to ensure business processes work as intended, if not better. At Harbec we never settle for mediocrity. Our mission is to provide tightly toleranced prototypes, tooling, machined components and quality injection molded parts in a sustainable manner with a social conscience. We provide superior customer service, satisfaction and timely delivery of custom engineered solutions. Check-out our March Blog So You Needed Custom Injection Molded Parts Yesterdayto see how we do this, even under the tightest of deadlines.

Benefits of Aluminum
Bridge Tooling
 
Harbec began building “bridge tooling” (aluminum molds) in 1999 to give our customers lower costs and faster delivery. Benefits include:
 
Speed to Market: Completed molds in 2-to-4 weeks versus 10-to-14 weeks for conventional steel molds. 

Cycle Time: 25-40% faster molding cycle times. 

Costs: Have the machining costs, on average, compared to steel molds. 

Precision: Can hold the same tolerances as steel molds. 
Check out this month's blog for more information about how we can help you get your product to market more efficiently and effectively.

 
We frequently receive quote requests for conventional and bridge tooling with very short lead times. Harbec understands the speed of business is dynamic and requires partners that can provide fast turn-around not just on quotes, but also on finished product. Contact us today to discover the power difference Harbec can make to your custom molds and injection molded parts.
