Since their company’s founding in the mid-2000s, they had sourced their entire product line to China. But COVID had now brought international shipping to a halt, and b...

Buying a product cheap doesn’t mean that you’re getting the best value; especially when you consider the high costs of things like excess inventory and lost production time.

CASE STUDY: Quality and Consistency Reduce Inventory, Lower Costs and Eliminate Hassle In 2012 a company contacted us about fabricating some aluminum racks. Their current supplier was causing them a lot of issues. Deliveries were always late, parts had to be reworked during assembly, and product installation was a hassle. On the surface, the project looked like a good fit for us. The....

The factors that influence the fabrication versus stamping decision are changing. In fact, the cost/volume scales have tilted to reveal a new sweet spot for metal fabrication - which includes larger production quantities than were previously thought to be possible.

Fabrication Versus Stamping: Understanding the Cost/Volume Equation When outsourcing the production of metal components, tier one manufacturers have two primary options: metal fabrication or stamping. Traditionally, higher volumes of repeat production runs have utilized stamping, while much smaller quantity projects could be handled by metal fabrication. Despite rec...

We've got a great team here at STAUB and they continue to deliver far-above-average results for our customers. Here's how they did last year:

STAUB Announces 2023 Metrics Many companies track their metrics to see how they are doing and where they need to improve. However, I rarely see companies actually share that data. I have two guesses why that might be: They don’t actually track anything, so they don’t really know their metrics. The metrics are not very good ...

Congrats to everyone on the STAUB team for a job well done!

Really appreciate The Fabricator magazine putting together this great write-up highlighting Staub's 3-part philosophy on how to build a stronger supply chain. Check it out!

How metal fabricators can improve customer partnerships A supplier-customer relationship in the metal fabrication industry thrives when three core components (cost, capability, and shop culture), like three legs of a stool, stay strong and steady.

For over 25 years we’ve been working with OEM and tier-one manufacturers and we’ve learned a lot about what it takes to build and maintain great customer-supplier relationships. Today we’re launching a new series of articles, sharing tips and best practices to help manufacturers find and develop fabrication suppliers they love working with. It’s called SMART FABRICATION SOURCING. We hope that you find it helpful.
