All of our quotes will include tooling, piece price, the material quoted, and lead times.
Upon acceptance of our quotation, drawings are verified, PO’s are cross referenced with the quotes, and the parts are scheduled into our production process. In some cases, an APQP meeting will occur. Upon tooling completion, If required, 1st article samples are provided for your approval.
