VMI: VENDOR-MANAGED INVENTORY

You trust us to manage your tooling, stamping, and production runs. Having us monitor the inventory to keep it all running on time is the natural extension of that relationship. VMI helps maintain your supply chain, regulating the flow of materials so both vendor and customer can plan accordingly, without any unforeseen surprises in cost and supply. One of the most valuable benefits of an established VMI program is shortened lead times. As well, when demand ebbs and flows, as it does at times, we are able to flex with you with assurance and stability.
