A major manufacturer was closing a facility and needed a fast solution to outsource all service business including kitting and assemblies. This meant the turnaround of many parts and BOM’s with a short time frame to complete the transition.
ESP Proposal
ESP would offer quick action resolution for securing all existing inventory, integrating customer suppliers, incorporating quality and approval procedures and expediting all current orders and back orders.

ESP has been awarded additional kitting applications because of the recommendation of the customer to their other divisions.
