Consolidate Your Supply Chain with United CGTR
In our experience, customers tend to assume that the more services they outsource, the higher their prices will rise due to markup costs and other hidden fees. But there can be significant benefits to outsourcing manufacturing operations—especially if you’re already relying on a third-party supplier for a particular capability.
At United CGTR, our in-house capabilities are so vast that it often makes good sense—financial and otherwise—to entrust us with the entire job. We’ll perform as many services as possible in our Connecticut shop and manage the logistics of processes like material ordering, plating, and heat treating, so you don’t have to. Simply send us one PO and get a complete part sent back to you.
Let’s explore how your business can benefit from a strong working relationship with United CGTR.
Why Partner with United CGTR for A-Z Manufacturing
Since 1960, United CGTR has manufactured parts for industries as varied as aerospace, automotive, medical, marine, armament, and beyond. And we are 100% confident that our one-stop shop can make your life easier.
Only you know your company’s cost-to-benefit ratio for in-house vs. outsourced services. However, before you dismiss the idea of outsourcing everything to us, consider these big advantages:
1. Reduced risk
Why hog all the risk for yourself when you can share some with United CGTR? Jokes aside, you will enjoy reduced risk by letting us take it on for you.
We recently learned that one of our customers was sending us material to machine blanks for them, receiving the blanks, performing in-house inspections, and then outsourcing thread rolling services to a separate vendor. They didn’t even realize they could have us do all of that for them. We initiated a conversation about it, and they decided to consolidate their supply chain.
When you outsource your entire project to United CGTR, we are responsible if something goes wrong. If you order parts with 10-32 threads and we deliver parts with 12-24 threads, that’s our mistake, and we have to drop everything to fix it.
We’re proud to say that our thread rolling services department is highly unlikely to make a thread rolling mistake—but if we did, your order would never make it past our QA team, which brings us to the next aspect of reduced risk: certifications.
United CGTR is AS9100 and ISO 9001:2015 certified, so you know we’re quality-committed experts in our field, with strict adherence to stringent guidelines for quality management.
2. Faster turnaround
Unless your business has dedicated manufacturing experts in every specialty from centerless grinding services to wire EDM services, you’re unlikely to be capable of performing every manufacturing process in-house.
Many customers get stuck sending their parts here, there, and everywhere for different services, incurring hefty shipping costs and lengthy timelines along the way.
Wouldn’t you rather send your parts to one shop that handles the entire manufacturing process for you? When you cut out all the back-and-forth and leave your order with us from start to finish, you can complete your projects faster than ever.
3. Optimized workflow
Every company thrives when its people are equipped to do what they do best without distraction—this is as true in manufacturing as with any other industry.
You wouldn’t ask a brain surgeon to perform open heart surgery. So why ask your team to perform manufacturing jobs that aren’t their specialty, including coordinating a plethora of outside services? Let your team do what they do best, and trust United CGTR to do what we do best: manufacture high-quality parts from start to finish.
3 Bonus Perks You’ll Only Find at United CGTR
We recently welcomed a new customer who previously navigated a cumbersome blend of in-house and outsourced resources for a single part.
Now, the customer simply places their order with United CGTR, and we handle everything from beginning to end. If you’re not sure what we mean by “everything,” take a look at these examples of logistics that we can coordinate on your behalf:
Ordering materials
Along with ordering materials for you, United CGTR will provide and archive all the necessary certifications and traceability.
You don’t even have to request the service; our standard procedures require us to keep material traceability documents indefinitely. Call us in 15 years, and we’ll be able to tell you who provided the titanium we purchased for your part in 2022.
Performing quality inspections
Our shop is well-equipped to perform quality inspections, following standard processes and procedures proven to produce the highest quality of work.
Our thorough documentation practices also apply to quality inspection. We document everything we do, which helps us build repeatable processes and ensure unparalleled consistency.
Coordinating outside services
Even our shop doesn’t do everything. But we know someone who does offer whatever capabilities you need! (Or we can work directly with your preferred vendor.)
From lab inspections to destructive and non-destructive testing, from heat treating to plating, we understand when to engage a trusted outside specialist, and we know who those specialists should be, only collaborating with service providers who we are confident can get the job done right.
Trust United CGTR for start-to-finish manufacturing, from order to endpoint.
