Stadco manufacturing engineers are part of a multi-disciplinary concept engineering team to ensure that during this early phase in a project, future manufacturing integrity is part of the design solution.

Stadco engineers recognise that all manufacturing solutions are unique and depend on the understanding of the impact of volumes, vehicle market, model variants and the customer supplier reliance model.

Stadco have developed manufacturing solutions for OEM's around the globe from fully automated lines to low volume highly skilled manual lines. We appreciate the impact that the manufacturing location will have on the design and can apply the appropriate manufacturing method to the style of the manufacturing process.

Stadco develop the right solutions during the concept phase, ensuring the customer gets the best cost utilisation. A range of different solutions are considered for component tooling and assembly process. The facility type and location are paramount. When taking into consideration a potential location, logistics issues are developed to ensure a successful supply chain from bolts to painting and beyond. A speciality of Stadco engineers is the ability to evaluate complex 'make or buy' assessments throughout the manufacturing process.
