One of many advantages of working with Strainsert is our commitment to full cycle manufacturing.

Full cycle manufacturing means Strainsert manages every stage of the production process — from initial specifications and product design through sourcing, production, testing, calibration and delivery — rather than outsourcing any or all of it, like many of our competitors.

The advantages of full cycle manufacturing for customers are realized in convenience, quality, reliability, and speed.

The key benefits include:

Single Point of Contact

Having a single point of contact for the entire project reduces complexity and risk. Even when Strainsert uses one of their approved specialty vendors to fulfill or meet a special customer requirement or test, Strainsert is still managing the effort and remains the focal point for all communication to meet specific requirements and improve lead time.

Having one trusted partner streamlines the process, simplifies communication and project management — there is no need to coordinate with multiple suppliers or contractors.

Custom Engineered Solutions

Working directly with Strainsert’s engineers, who have over 150 years of combined force sensor design and manufacturing experience, helps to specify and design exactly what is needed to get the job done. This also makes it easier to fine-tune specifications, materials, or performance requirements without delays and confirms all unique customer requirements are met.

90% of Strainsert’s products are custom designed for critical applications in challenging environments, ranging from deep space to deep sea and practically every industry in between.

Faster Turnaround

The coordination between the customer and Strainsert directly accelerates design and certification timelines. It is important to us that customers receive their orders on time to meet their schedules and maintain or improve their competitiveness.

Reliable Quality

Full process control ensures traceability, consistency, and compliance with industry standards. There is also less risk of errors or defects introduced by third-party suppliers.

Strainsert is AS9100 certified and has proudly maintained 97% on time delivery and 0.5% warranty rates for 10 years and counting.

Lower Cost

Streamlined operations often lead to lower overall project costs.

Predictable pricing and reduced administrative overhead (fewer invoices, fewer vendor negotiations) are additional benefits.

Accountability

Strainsert’s products and customer support team are trusted by thousands of the world’s leading companies to meet unique environmental and performance requirements and backed by an industry leading 2-year warranty.

Stronger Customer Relationships

Most of Strainsert’s customers are repeat buyers who have worked with us for decades on many challenging projects over our 65 plus year history.

Strainsert’s full cycle manufacturing facilitates stronger long-term customer relationships by building trust through consistently delivering durable, accurate quality sensors on time, within budget and includes lifetime technical call-in support.

Strainsert’s post-sale repair, recalibration and engineering support services also proves to customers we stand by our work and will be ready the next time they need us.

Strainsert did not decide to be a full cycle manufacturer by accident. For the last 65 years, managing the entire process for our customers has continued to be the best approach to produce the optimal solutions for their demanding applications.
