Small or large OEMs have options when they are ordering custom parts and components for their products. The vast majority of OEMs no longer complete all work in-house, and it is actually cheaper and provides better and more consistent quality parts when using outsourced suppliers for complex components.
One of these complex components found in any type of electrical system or device is a transformer. Chokes and bus bar components are also commonly outsourced to specialized transformer manufacturers.
Depending on the specific application and systems, all of these components can be relatively small and lightweight, which is ideal for looking for transformer manufacturers across the country. Staying within the United States when outsourcing transformer manufacturing work has several benefits, and these advantages should be considered before selecting an out of the country manufacturer.
Quality Control and Standards
Choosing the established, top-rated transformer manufacturers in the United States ensures that the OEM can rely on products that meet their quality control standards. In addition, these companies have engineers on staff who are familiar with all national and international standards, including the compliance regulations set forth by RoHS and REACH, which is essential for both domestic as well as international markets.
The manufacturer should be able to provide transformers to meet all of the respective CSA, CE, and UL standards for both their design services as well as during production.
Easy Supply Chain Management
Using manufacturers for transformers or any products within the United States makes your supply chain management much easier. Coordinating with various suppliers and manufacturers to ensures orders are delivered on time and to exact specifications is much easier when working with American companies and not having to worry about importing materials or components from outside of the country.
Communication is also simplified with US-based companies. While there may be a slight difference between time zones across the country, it is not as complicated as trying to maintain business connections with companies across the globe.
