Jenks and Cattell Engineering have developed a successful seven-year relationship with a Chinese company in order to reduce customers costs.
The current set-up involves Tooling and Project Engineer to visit the Shenzhen factory every 6 weeks to project manage the process and ensure that quality is being maintained and that the components are up to the standard of the customers specifications; however as Jenks and Cattell Engineering look to increase its production rates, this week, the Managing Director and Operations Director have also travelled to China to visit the fantastic set-up.
Using Chinese tool makers have allowed Jenks and Cattell Engineering to reduce its customers tooling costs by 45%-50%, and since 2007, and have so far sourced over 500 tools from our partner in Shenzhen. With customers taking advantage of the lower production rates, Jenks and Cattell Engineering were able to save them between 28%-35% piece price, with a guaranteed pay back within 7 months.
Having built up an excellent relationship and communication system with the suppliers, Jenks and Cattell Engineering guarantee to keep customers updated on the progress of their tool during manufacturer.
Not only do Jenks and Cattell Engineering provide cost reductions to its customers, but are also able to deliver sample parts within 6-weeks, using UK material, and produce a full delivery within 16 weeks.
Jenks and Cattell Engineering Ltd do have a tool-shop on site at the Wolverhampton Engineering factory, which enables our specialist toolmakers to adapt and maintain tools throughout the tools working life, which increases quality and product life-cycle.
