TCI Precision Metals, Gardena, California, has effectively consolidated its 105,000sqft shop floor, freeing up 20,000sqft to be used for value added operations, including sub and final assembly.

“We have always maintained plenty of space and infrastructure to support our Los Angeles based contract machining operation.  Today, assembly space and resources in close proximity to full service machining, milling and grinding operations are something many OEM manufacturers are looking for,” said John Belzer, President of TCI Precision Metals. “As companies look for ways to bring their manufacturing back to the U.S. they need flexible and creative solutions and our goal is to provide them.”
 

Reshoring is a business decision; contract manufacturers and Job shops must provide the extended value necessary for OEMs to realize sustained benefits over offshore alternatives.  Shortened and just-in-time delivery, inventory management, quality improvement, total cost of ownership and customer responsiveness are key benefits that must be realized.
 
TCI Precision Metals is committed to continuous quality improvement with both ISO 9001 and AS9100 certifications.  Implementation and evolution of its ERP system over the past ten years has resulted in the ability to efficiently integrate customer process and documentation requirements into the TCI workflow.
