Complex Assembly

The 400 plus components in the assembly to the right include pressure die-castings, gravity castings, stampings, sintered powdered metal parts, rubber moldings, plastic injection moldings, cold headed and screw machined parts.

Value-added Projects

With the growing sophistication of Pacific Rim manufacturers and their supplier base, The Simmons Group is bringing an increasing number of value-added engineering projects to our offices in Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Manufacture Programs

Based on either mature designs or newly developed products, a growing number of our customers are taking advantage of the benefits offered by the Pacific Rim to manufacture complex finished assemblies. The growing sophistication of manufacturers in these two places to manage complex projects, coupled with the ability to out-source within local industry an increasing range of component parts, lend support to such programs.

Support for Programs

These programs are fully supported by our own onsite personnel. Our engineering/operations group assume overall project responsibility, first identifying and then qualifying the prime manufacturer. They then work with the selected manufacturer in evaluating and addressing all engineering issues. They continue their involvement through the tooling, sampling and manufacturing phases. They also work with the primary vendor to identify and qualify local suppliers of a full range of parts, from mechanical stampings and plastic injection components to electronic sub-assemblies.

Our Quality Control Department's involvement begins at the earliest stages. It helps qualify the prime vendor for each project and continues to work with the vendor to ensure that the proper Q.C./Q.A. controls are in place. To ensure that finished products meet our clients' specifications, our Q.C. personnel work with our clients to define and implement our own in process and audit inspection procedures.
