Value-Added Services

GEMCO’s value-added services are offered to provide customers with the customized solutions they may require for a unique project. We see ourselves as an extension of our customer’s engineering and design staff, offering ideas that may result in cost saving opportunities and simplification of tool design to help minimize maintenance and improve repeatability. Engaging with design engineers from the prototype stage through production provides GEMCO and their customers with working knowledge of the function of the part and its application.

In addition to manufacturing precision metal stampings and wire forms, GEMCO also looks for opportunities to enhance your overall experience working with us. GEMCO accomplishes this is by asking questions such as:

• What is the EAU? (Estimated Annual Usage)
• What is the longevity of the program?
• Do you have design flexibility if it could result in cost savings?
• Can you share the end use or application of this component?
• Do you have specifications or performance criteria that need to be met as they relate to design, heat treatment and/or finish?
• Would blanket orders be of interest to you?
• Would a consignment program be of interest to you?
• Can GEMCO provide further assistance such as assembling, tapping or adding sub-components such as contacts, rivets, PEM™ Fasteners and screws to the stamping? Doing so provides our customer with fewer processes to manage downstream.
• Are there weight limitations we need to consider for packaging?
• Are there specific packaging requirements that will aid your internal processing?

Understanding that production demands are fluid, GEMCO works with our customers by assisting them with inventory management, offering customized inventory or consignment programs for high volume blanket orders.

GEMCO partners with established, quality vendors who provide services that are necessary in the completion of the manufacturing process. These vendors provide the following services in support of GEMCO and our customers:

• Heat treatment of high carbon steels, stainless steels and Beryllium Copper
• Finishes (Zinc / Tin / Nickel / Black Oxide / Phosphate / Copper)
• Precious Metal (Gold / Silver / Palladium Nickel)
• Coatings (Paint / Powder Coat / PVC / Anodizing)
• Tape and Reel

GEMCO is proud of our long-standing relationships with customers, some of which are approaching 50 years. We look forward to being trusted with the opportunity to demonstrate the value that GEMCO consistently brings to our strategic business partners.
