Donlouco’s Manufacturing Solutions

Turnkey Manufacturing Solutions

While Donlouco has vast experience in CNC Machining Components at its site outside Shanghai we also have a network of approved subcontractors for forgings and casting etc. Donlouco also has a comprehensive network of subcontractors for many other Engineered Parts, including the array of parts we supply into the Utility Sector.

These subcontractors are fully approved and managed by Donlouco and output is fully Quality Controlled at all times directly by Donlouco. This network of suppliers significantly broadens our capability and service offering which in turn offers a much deeper capability to our customers and even greater flexibility.

Manufacturing Strategy

Having a manufacturing strategy for parts and products is key to the success of most projects and many customers struggle in this area. Donlouco are very lucky to be able to take an impartial view on the manufacturing solution required which can greatly benefit customers. Quite often customers are indirectly forced into a design solution based on existing or traditional manufacturing processes or based on existing supplier relationships or even internal capabilities but this can be an inefficient solution for the customer or market sector.

Donlouco can review the design solution and offer more efficient and appropriate manufacturing options which best suit the customer and the market sector.
