Morton Industries is known throughout the steel fabrication industry for its ability to maintain low prices while still delivering excellent quality products to our partners. One of the ways that we lower our customers’ costs is by fabricating all of the tooling that we use in-house, where we can carefully monitor its production and ensure consistent quality later in the production of our customers’ products.
We are unique in this service compared to other steel fabrication shops that typically outsource their tool fabrication, but we know that outsourcing can push up costs, extend lead times, and result in inconsistent quality–all things we want to avoid in order to provide our customers with the best.
The Benefits of Fabricating Metal Tooling In-House
Reduced Production Costs
One of the main reasons that Morton offers in-house metal tooling fabrication is so that we can offer lower comparative costs to our customers. Keeping everything within our facility means that we don’t have to pay shipping and handling costs, and eliminates the risk of damage during travel, which could increase prices even more and decrease quality.
Improved Quality Assurance
Outsourcing doesn’t always mean better quality or consistent quality–that’s why we prefer to fabricate our tooling in-house. Morton Industries is ISO 9001:2015 for steel fabrication, a certification that we rigorously adhere to so that we know our customers are getting the best quality and the best value. And, we can be sure that no damage can occur to the tooling during shipping because shipping it won’t be necessary–everything is stored and maintained in our facility.
Faster Turnaround Times
Keeping our metal tooling fabrication in house also allows us to get to production much faster, which in turn helps our customers get their products to the market far more quickly. There’s no risk of wasted time associated with shipping delays for the tooling, waitlists, or potential errors in the quoting. Morton Industries handles everything on-site so that we can reduce the time our customers have to wait for their products and the stress associated with that waiting time.
Keeping Tool Fabrication In-House to Better Serve Our Customers
Morton Industries is known throughout our industry for our strong commitment to our customers. Keeping the fabrication of the metal tooling we use throughout our facility in-house ensures lower costs, better quality, and faster turnaround times than our competitors. This, in turn, allows our customers to remain competitive in their markets.
