Assembly.
Pathfinder Manufacturing’s meticulous assembly process takes your drawings from concept to completion and final delivery of a high-quality, reliable product. Our 30 years of experience, expansive equipment capabilities, and variable workspaces allow our team to fulfill our customers’ needs regardless of order size or frequency. We pride ourselves on consistently producing the exact product you need, when you need it.
The assembly process begins with a collaborative assessment of our business partners’ specifications to ensure product conformity. First Article inspection is conducted before any drilling or deburring, and prior to final assembly operations. Components are sealed/bonded according to the customer’s specifications, including the proper disposal of any waste material. Our customers have the confidence that the longevity of their product is guaranteed with minimal waste impact.
