By outsourcing your contract manufacturing, logistics, and fulfillment projects, you can increase your production footprint instantly. This avoids the capital-intensive costs of building, buying, or leasing new space. Choosing to outsource your assembly and supply chain challenges to a trusted USA-based contract manufacturer provides you with the confidence of knowing that your products are shipped on time and with the quality your customers expect.

Fixed Per-Unit Pricing to Control Costs

Every manufacturer struggles with fluctuating labor costs. However, MSI’s fixed per-unit pricing model virtually eliminates this risk. It flattens costs, improves predictability, and ultimately saves you money.

Flexible Scheduling to Match Demand

When customer demand shifts, your production needs to shift as well. MSI’s flexible scheduling lets you scale production volume up or down quickly. Moreover, we will build your product exactly the way you want and deliver it faster—right here in the U.S.

Therefore, you can capitalize on market opportunities by developing newer, faster, and better technologies with your in-house team. At the same time, you can delegate complex assembly work to MSI.

Commitment to Lean Manufacturing and Quality

Our company-wide commitment to Lean manufacturing, Kaizen, and 6-S principles has improved customer value year after year. Because we continuously optimize processes, we produce and deliver higher quality products in less time and with less waste.

What capabilities does MSI have to offset for your contract manufacturing needs?

PRECISION CUTTING

Bring your prepared CAD file to our large automated cutting tables to initiate a streamlined precision cutting process. With a cutting tolerance within +/-0.030″ we ensure a cost-effective and reliable finished product with exceptional quality results.

Automated static cutting tables are fabric-based and excel at single to low-ply cutting. OEMs and businesses that need to cut a variety of shapes and sizes for smaller production runs can avoid die cutting and custom die by leveraging automated static cutting tables. Cutting tables can cut material with ultimate efficiency and precision. Materials can be but not limited to: cheesecloth, plastic, cotton, leather, nylon, and vinyl as well as more high-tech materials such as carbon fiber, Kevlar, Cordera, and fiberglass-polyester blends.

  • Up to 8 feet wide and 20 feet long
  • Extremely reliable
  • Multiple machine redundancy
  • High Speed Cutting, Marking, Drilling and Punching
  • Precise and accurate
  • SMART – Easy Cut Control Software
  • Highly trained technicians to cut your next job
  • Supply your own DXF file or our design team can create one for you

Automotive, Aerospace, Composites, Furniture, Fiber, Industrial Fabrics, Laminated Glass, Marine, Medical, Sewn Products, and Wind Energy are just a few applications you can use automatic static cutting for.

METAL PROCESSING & FINISHING

Our highly skilled technicians are experienced in a wide range of metal processing and finishing services to ensure your unique needs are met. These include CNC machining, laser cutting, waterjet machining, and finishing processes. Whether your team completes final assembly or you rely on MSI for a full-service solution, we can assemble, package, store, and ship your products for a flat rate.

MSI offers both laser cutting and abrasive waterjet cutting, giving OEMs the flexibility to choose the best process for their project requirements. Our Amada EML 2515 AJ laser punch combination system delivers fast, high-precision cuts for intricate geometries, high-volume runs, and clean edges with minimal waste. For thicker or more complex materials, our abrasive waterjet technology cuts up to 7” thick with exceptional accuracy and no heat-affected zones, making it ideal for metals, composites, stone, glass, and heat-sensitive materials.

Key Benefits of Laser & Waterjet Cutting:

  • Precision accuracy (up to +/-.005”) for critical tolerances
  • High-speed, efficient cutting with reduced lead times
  • Ability to cut a wide range of materials, including metals, composites, glass, and stone
  • No heat-affected zones or harmful vapors during cutting
  • Minimal material waste and no tool changes required
  • Flexibility for both one-off jobs and high-volume production
  • Clean edges and complex geometries handled with ease

These advanced capabilities support industries such as aerospace, defense, automotive, energy, marine, and industrial manufacturing. Whether your project demands speed, flexibility, or precision, MSI ensures every part is delivered on time, on budget, and to exact specifications.

METAL FORMING & BENDING

We solve all of your unique metal fabrication needs with unparalleled accuracy and reliability. Using state-of-the-art CNC hydraulic press brake machines, our experienced fabricators will quickly form, shape, or bend metal products or parts with incredibly tight tolerances to ensure your exact specifications are met.

Hydraulic Press Brake equipment gives shape to metal sheets by bending steel and other materials at various angles to create different structures. Metal sheets are slotted into the machine and a ram then presses on the metal until it bends in place. With the AMADA HG 1303, expect an extremely fast approach, with bending and return speeds providing quicker cycle times and resulting in more parts per hour. AMADA’s 6-Axis back gauge speeds set-ups for complex parts and its patented hybrid hydraulic crown bed design automatically provides consistent angular accuracy. Simply load in a 3D representation of the work piece and let our automatic program create the production file or, alternatively, load your own file. Dr. ABE Bend simulation software allows our operators to take the part into a simulation environment to reduce cost per part during set-up or calibration.

  • In-House forming Capabilities
  • Reduced material waste
  • Punching
  • Hemming
  • Complex forming
  • Production bending
  • Prototype forming
  • Automation
  • Flexibility
  • Job Costing Analysis

Automotive, Aviation, Agricultural, Energy, Military, and Transportation are just a few applications you can use hydraulic press brake technology for.
