It’s very important to us to treat every customer as our partner. This is why we work closely to meet your exact specifications in the design phase, in accordance with design for manufacturability (DFM) philosophy. Our goal is to make your life easier, which is why we allow you to upload plans, specs, or other necessary documents and data to us via FTP. This makes things faster and easier for all involved.
