In this article, we’ll examine the most important functions of a contract manufacturer. Then, we’ll look at how CTI offers industry-leading service in all of these areas.

Important Functions of Contract Manufacturing Companies

The primary function of contract manufacturing companies is to fill in the gaps in a firm’s production capacity. Flexibility, efficiency, and cost-consciousness are all key. At CTI, we designed our facilities with these attributes in mind. We provide these services:

  • Manufacturing Process Development: CTI uses a modular setup for almost all of our manufacturing equipment. This makes it easy for firms to experiment with different processes and find streamlined solutions.
  • Supply Chain Evaluation: We work with a wide range of suppliers and can easily source materials at a variety of specifications.
  • Scale Versatility: Our modular system means that production is easy to scale up or down. We often contract with companies that can’t spare production line time for specialty items or need small test runs. CTI also specializes in filling back orders for our clients. During busy seasons, they may receive more orders than their current facility can produce.

How CTI Meets Your Firm’s Needs
