OEM Manufacturing Services

One of the steps when working with you is to conduct a detailed survey of your manufacturing process to help identify potential cost savings and process improvements. This line survey involves a tour of production lines, as well as sub-assembly areas, to document existing and potential cost reduction opportunities.

Through your participation in a LOCTITE® Cost Reduction Line Survey, you will receive:

• A thorough audit of your assembly operations
• A cost analysis for each recommendation
• Recommendation for implementation of process improvements
• A report detailing all identified cost savings opportunities

Industry specific application training designed to fit your plant’s specific needs.

Learn how adhesives and sealants can help your team reduce product costs and improve quality through a seminar conducted at your facility. The topics and duration of the seminar are determined in advance in consultation with you and can include any or all of the following: 

• Bonding
• Threadlocking
• Threadsealing
• Retaining cylindrical parts
• Gasketing
• Chemical solutions vs traditional mechanical bonding
• Potting and Encapsulating
• Dispensing and Curing Equipment

Training will incorporate technical guides, application information and case histories to assist your team with effectively selecting the proper adhesive, dispensing equipment, and curing system for your assembly challenges. Attendees are encouraged to bring parts, prints and specific design challenges to the workshop.
