If you’re searching for the right manufacturer to help you achieve your product vision, you’ll want one with turnkey capabilities who can provide the highest levels of quality, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. At the same time, you likely want a company with a responsive, personal touch — promptly and effectively addressing your individual needs as if you’re their only customer.
Finding a manufacturer that meets that combination of criteria is a difficult task but essential to an optimal experience. It often takes a company with global capabilities who also treats you as if you’re located right down the road, even when you’re not.
For 38 years, PA-based CAI has been a leading provider of high-quality, custom components and wire harnesses for a wide variety of industries and customers, both in America and around the globe. One of the biggest reasons for their ongoing success and growth is their rare ability to think global but act local.
Here are the top benefits of working with CAI and the optimal customer experience they provide through their global and domestic capabilities.
With a robust, streamlined global supply chain, CAI can source materials from countries with less-expensive production and labor costs. Access to multiple suppliers also helps keep lower inventory levels, while more inventory can be quickly accessed internationally when unexpected demand increases. A partner with more cost-effective operations like this can then pass those savings onto you.
Because of their closer proximity, domestic manufacturers can often be more responsive and reliable than those located thousands of miles away. The CAI team consistently delivers a high level of dependable, individualized service, for customers locally and worldwide.
Leveraging the latest electrical component technology and manufacturing methods around the world, CAI offers better quality control which results in better-made harnesses, assemblies, and other electrical systems.
CAI’s global network, integrated nature, and optimized processes lead to increased productivity and reduced waste which results in greater overall efficiency.
With harness and component manufacturing facilities and distribution locations in both America and Asia, CAI can produce and ship products to their end users more quickly. Faster shipping around the world means you’ll get your finished products and be able to use them in their intended applications faster.
With both a global and domestic presence, CAI offers an extensive network of business contacts and suppliers, which opens up opportunities for unique partnerships, new innovations, and market expansion in different regions.
Tapped into a strong global supply chain, CAI gives you access to expanded and more diverse markets worldwide, potentially enabling you to expand your customer base outside of domestic borders and pursue new sources of revenue.
When geopolitical conflicts, natural disasters, or other unforeseen events strike, supply chains can be easily disrupted. If you have a manufacturing project in progress, this can cause you big headaches. With a more extensive and resilient supply chain, CAI can source internationally, giving your business more options and access to products that can’t be sourced domestically. This also gives them greater flexibility to adjust operations to meet your evolving demands and respond quickly to market changes.
To ensure your product can be sold and used in your intended markets, it’s essential that the materials, designs, and specifications you use comply with local laws and standards where it will be sold and used, whether domestically or internationally. Having a global presence, CAI knows their stuff when it comes to regulatory requirements across different countries, ensuring your products are produced in compliance with all applicable regulations.
These are some of the biggest advantages of working with CAI, offering the best in both global and domestic capabilities to manufacture everything from wire harnesses and cable assemblies to PCBAs and other electrical components. Talk to us today about your next project!
