Simplify Your Supply Chain with Turnkey Box Build Assembly Services

September 18, 2024

One of the key capabilities that sets GTR Manufacturing apart from other metal fabricators is our turnkey box build assembly services. What began 30 years ago as a special request from a handful of customers has evolved into one of our core offerings. If you’re looking to simplify your supply chain, reduce the complexity of your internal operations, and reduce costs, look no further than GTR Manufacturing for comprehensive box build assembly services.

What Are Box Build Assembly Services?

Box build assembly services involve the complete integration of a product, starting from the customer’s Bill of Materials (BOM) to the final packaged product, ready for shipment. This vertical integration process includes several critical steps:

  1. Bill of Materials: We begin by understanding the customer’s BOM, ensuring that every component and specification is accounted for.
  2. Metal Fabrication: We fabricate the necessary metal components in-house, ensuring precise and high-quality parts.
  3. Electronic Component Procurement: We procure all electronic components required for the build, leveraging our extensive supplier network.
  4. Custom Cable Building: We custom build and terminate cables in-house, testing each one to ensure reliability before integration.
  5. Full Unit Integration: We fully integrate all components, including boards, fans, cables, harnesses, transducers, and more, into a cohesive unit.
  6. Testing and Validation: Each unit is rigorously tested with the customer’s platform to validate functionality and performance.
  7. Packaging and Shipping: We package the final product and can even drop ship directly to end consumers around the world.

Whether it’s medical equipment, test analytical equipment, or semiconductor filtration systems, we have the capability to build it to your specifications. As an IPC-certified company, we ensure that every product meets the highest standards of quality and reliability. Additionally, we offer custom painting, silk screening of logos, and special packaging to deliver a fully customized product directly to end consumers — all made right here in the USA.

Customer Use Cases

Our box build assembly services provide a huge value add for our customers by reducing complexity and cost in their supply chain and internal operations. Here are a few examples of how our services have benefited our clients:

Complex Enclosures

We designed and fabricated a watertight enclosure that met the stringent specifications of the Department of Transportation. The exterior of the enclosure included rubber gaskets, plastic windows with silk screening, and mounting brackets. Inside the enclosure were cables, a small computer, and circuit boards with integrated lights. We sourced all the components, fabricated the metal enclosure, assembled all the components, and performed rigorous testing, all at our Taunton, MA facility.

Startup Companies with New Products

We have worked with startup companies who had an idea and a design, but lacked the facilities to build their products. At GTR Manufacturing, we have the expertise and infrastructure to help our start-up partners transition smoothly from prototype all the way through to production. We handle the supply chain logistics, fabrication, assembly, and testing so our customers can focus on designing innovative new products.

Are you an OEM looking to cut a single purchase order and have finished parts delivered to your dock, or even directly to your customers? We’ve got you covered!

At GTR, we offer a variety of electromechanical assembly services, ranging from completed subassemblies all the way to end-to-end production of finished products. We can even package finished products in branded packaging materials and drop ship them directly to your customers. 

Many of our customers choose to rely on us for final assembly, testing, and inspection services to reduce the footprint in their own facilities, and ultimately reduce the cost of creating their products. There is a lot of additional cost involved in receiving products, opening them up just to test them, then repackaging them to be sent to the end consumer. Why not rely on GTR as your single-source supplier and let us handle every aspect of building and delivering your products?
