Our commitment is to provide exceptional quality while saving time and reducing costs through efficient, integrated manufacturing and assembly processes. From design to final assembly, we have the expertise to support every step of the manufacturing journey. Below, we outline our core capabilities that make us a trusted partner for manufacturing and assembly projects.

Design to Manufacture Expertise

Our end-to-end contract manufacturing and assembly services include design and engineering that facilitate cost-effective manufacturing. By combining our engineering prowess with manufacturing operations under one roof, we ensure seamless collaboration and quick production turnarounds, enabling our clients to bring products to market faster.

Benefits of Design to Manufacture Approach

The benefits of our design to manufacture services include streamlined production cycles, reduced manufacturing and assembly costs, and fewer design errors. This approach also enables us to optimize materials and production methods to create high-quality, durable products.

Design for Manufacturing (DFM)

Our Design for Manufacturing (DFM) services are crucial to ensuring that every product we create is optimized for manufacturability and cost efficiency. DFM allows us to address design concerns early in the process, resulting in an optimized product that is easier and less costly to produce.

Improving Product Quality & Functionality Through DFM

DFM is not just about cost savings—it also enhances product functionality. Our engineering team works closely with customers to develop products that meet both performance and budget expectations while minimizing production challenges.

Component Manufacturing Capabilities

Whether it’s a machined, cast, forged, pressed, stamped or formed part, Chapter 2 has the expertise to produce high-quality components to meet precise specifications. Our full-service machine shop is capable of both milling and turning applications, ensuring we can handle any complex project requirements.

Diverse Material Expertise

We work with a wide range of materials, including steel, iron, aluminum, stainless steel, zinc, plastics, and fiberglass. Our versatility allows us to manage even the most complex components, ensuring the right materials are used for each project.

Welding and Assembly Services

In addition to component manufacturing, we provide extensive welding and assembly services. These include MIG, TIG, and robotic welding, as well as mechanical sub-assemblies and custom gearbox fabrication.

Expertise in Complex Assemblies

Our welding and assembly capabilities are well-suited for complex projects requiring precision and attention to detail. We have extensive experience in assembling intricate products, giving our clients confidence that their projects will be completed to the highest standards.

Custom Gearbox Fabrication

We offer custom gearbox fabrication services to meet unique project requirements. Whether you need a standard gearbox or a fully customized solution, our team can provide the expertise needed to design and build gearboxes that meet your exact specifications.

Benefits of Custom Gearboxes

Custom gearboxes can significantly enhance product performance and efficiency. By developing a gearbox tailored to your product’s specific requirements, we help you achieve better operational results and extended product life.

A Full Contract Manufacturer and Assembly Partner

Chapter 2, Inc. provides comprehensive contract assembly services, from small sub-assemblies to full product line assembly. Our goal is to be a one-stop partner that handles all assembly needs, reducing the need for multiple vendors.

Integrated Manufacturing and Assembly Solutions for Efficiency

With our contract assembly services, we handle all aspects of the process—including welding, assembly, and finishing—under one roof. This outsourcing reduces lead times and ensures consistent quality from start to finish.

Painting and Coating Services

Our painting and coating services provide the finishing touches necessary to ensure a product’s durability and appearance. We offer both wet painting and additional coating services through our trusted partners.

Wet Painting Facility

Our 14,000-square-foot wet painting facility allows us to prime, coat, bake, and finish products up to 40 feet in length after manufacturing and assembly. This capability is ideal for large parts, such as tractor attachments and panels, ensuring they meet all appearance and durability standards.

We offer paint lines dedicated to both Class “A” and industrial finishes, depending on the application requirements. This ensures that products destined for consumer-facing use have a high-quality finish, while industrial parts receive the coatings necessary to withstand harsh conditions.

Powder Coating, Anodizing, and More

In addition to wet painting, we offer powder coating, anodizing, plating, and other finishes through our network of reliable partners. These services allow us to provide a full range of coatings for any project.

Quality is our top priority at Chapter 2, Inc. We have a rigorous quality assurance process that ensures every component, weldment, and assembly meets or exceeds customer expectations.  We believe all contract manufacturers should focus on quality control like we do.

Commitment to Consistency Through Quality Control

Our quality assurance team is involved at every step of the process, from raw material selection to final inspection. This ensures consistency in production and a high level of quality across every project.

Supply Chain Management

Our strong supply chain relationships allow us to source the best materials for each project, helping to manage costs and reduce production delays. We work with a network of trusted suppliers to ensure the highest quality materials are used. Logistics is one of our core competencies.

Leveraging Supplier Relationships

By leveraging our supplier relationships, we can ensure on-time delivery of materials and parts, ultimately leading to faster production and delivery of your final product.
