Originally organized as a straight made-to-order job shop, R-D has developed over 40 years into a contract manufacturing house offering a spectrum of services from concept development through inventory control strategies.

Through the 1990s R-D grew into its current facility and modernized our production capabilities.

With an equipment list that includes high productivity CNC equipment, R-D became a relied upon contract manufacturer servicing the fabricated needs of several large customers in a variety of industries. These close vendor-customer relationships continue to be the core of our business.

More recently, R-D has advanced our technology and automation while developing extensive customer support and value-added services. R-D now rounds out our offerings to customers with engineering support services through a variety of inventory management scenarios.

Today, R-D is a partner to its valued customers. We are acutely aware that our success is tied directly to the success of our customer. To that end, we support our customers in every way possible.

R-D employs eci JobBOSS enterprise management software, an integrated manufacturing and accounting solution tailored specifically for small to medium-sized manufacturers.

Integrating virtually all aspects of the organization enables instant access to information critical to making expedient yet informed management decisions. Visual Scheduling and exception management are invaluable features when evaluating quick turn and reschedule requests.

The software’s powerful tools assist key business initiatives such as lean manufacturing and quality performance management

R-D boasts an unparalleled quality program developed specifically to serve the varied requirements of our customers. A flexible program constructed around in-process inspection allows for proper interface with the specifics of our customers own quality programs. This ability to create program continuity is paramount to developing the vendor/customer partnership that we strive for.

Complete manufacturing under one roof offers a significant advantage in quality control. Quality is managed consistently throughout processing and the typical quality issues related to outsourced operations are controlled.

The true testament to our program is the fact that nearly half of all material produced here at R-D is shipped directly to either our customers’ distribution inventories (ship-to-stock) or directly to their customers (drop-ship). We believe that says it all…

R-D is committed and well-equipped to aid our valued customers through product development stages.

Combining our engineering and prototyping services results in a consolidated, streamlined product evolution. Comprehensive in-house manufacturing shortens the feedback loop, accelerating the development process.
