Primary Markets Served: Construction
Product: Roll Groover Value Assembly Project
Function: This machine cold-forms the clamp groove in 2” to 24” schedule 40 thru 80 piping used in large piping projects.
Problem: The customer had previously contracted with one of our competitors to manufacture and build this machine. That supplier had many quality and delivery issues, causing the customer to lose business to the competition.
Contour Solutions: When Contour was approached to manage this project, it was not only to machine the castings and forgings, but included in the challenge was to manage the entire supply chain. Working with our customer, Contour was introduced to preferred suppliers as well as developing new relationships for other component parts. Internally, a dedicated assembly area was made and detailed work instructions were developed noting key specifications throughout. Even with long lead times from suppliers, Contour is able to ship to the distribution center a fully assembly, tested Roll Groover within 21 days of order! We take pride in the fact that we close up the packaging here and their customer is the next one to see it!
Takeaway: Whether it be the machining of hard-to-hold parts, the management of inventory, or the assembly and packaging of product, Contour has the depth and skill to tackle your project.
