with Tate Technology for eight years on PCB assembly. This long-term relationship is a testament to Tate ' s reliability and commitment to their clients. He said Tate offers, " Good value and great customer interface on new products." King said he refers Tate Technology because of their " good value and great customer service." He added that PCB and electronics assembly companies are " dwindling in the U. S."
Scott noted that what sets them apart from the competition is the investment in the technology and in the facility. " Typically, when you are a smaller contractor, because our margins are low, you don ' t always have the best equipment available." In the case of Tate Technology, he remarked that they are an anomaly. " We literally have the equipment such that we can build any electronics. It is unique; we don ' t shy away from the complex and the challenging," he said of their projects. His Achilles heel is,“ I don ' t like saying no." His objective is always asking how they can solve a customer problem while being at the leading edge of technology.
Another customer, Tony Tanis, C. P. M., a senior buyer with Wizard International, Inc., has worked with Tate Technology for 15 years – about as long as he ' s been with his company. He said they are in the picture framing industry, producing computerized mat cutters, which are CNC machines used for cutting the decorative mats in picture frames.
Tanis said Tate Technology makes an electronic control unit( ECU) and produces discrete printed circuit boards( PCBAs) for Wizard. He added that they ' ve realized cost savings in working with them: " Tate Technology, by providing DFM guidance, was integral to a significant savings project in which we replaced the open market sourced stepper motor drivers used in our ECUs with drivers designed internally and produced by Tate."
He refers Tate to others and said they are on a short list of suppliers " whom I have complete trust in their quality and integrity."
This quality and integrity serve them well across a variety of industries:
• Utilities
• Aerospace
• Medical
• Oceanography
• Space
• Military
• Industrial automation
• Consumer products
• Transportation
• Traffic & pedestrian safety
• Communications
" WE LITERALLY HAVE THE EQUIPMENT SUCH THAT WE CAN BUILD ANY ELECTRONICS. IT IS UNIQUE; WE DON ' T SHY AWAY FROM THE COMPLEX AND THE CHALLENGING."
