Part Design

Whether involved during the design process or after years of production, Acro often finds itself in the position where we can recommend changes in the design or production method which will result in superior function and lower cost.

We are involved with the design for maximum manufacturability of more than half the parts that we produce here at ACRO. Sometimes it is a material recommendation, a thickness change or small tweak. Sometimes it involves total re-engineering to account for grain direction or multiple functions.

Chris Miller
Senior Buyer

Of the four companies chosen to outsource stamping, ACRO was the most proactive and successful of our choices. They have proved to be cordial, professional, and excellent problem solvers; the first of the four to deliver parts to our dock. They have consistently delivered finished goods to our assembly lines on time or better, and their quality has been 100% to date. We can recommend ACRO without reservation.
