The make-or-buy decision is a fundamental dilemma. Buy, out-source, subcontract or make in-house? For many product & component manufacturing companies, increased global competition and subsequent lower costs have helped make out-sourcing and subcontracting a viable and cost-effective solution for their production output.

Buying, out-sourcing or subcontracting also means that they don't have to worry about, nor fund, the hugely expensive in-house human, technological and hardware resources required in the manufacture of electro-mechanical engineering, press tools, mould tools, toolmaking, plastic injection moulding, custom and din rail assembly etc.

Based in the UK, HBC are well placed to supply all your electro-mechanical outsourcing for plastic and formed metal components, parts manufacture, design and assembly needs. With over 40 years of experience (formerly as Weidmuller before a management buyout renamed the UK organisation HBC Engineering Solutions Ltd.), we have in place several million pounds worth of tooling, press tool, mould tool, electro-mechanical injection moulding, electroplating, analysis and testing equipment as well as hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of technological software, systems and know-how to satisfy huge potential demand from the global marketplace.

If you are looking to outsource, subcontract or buy services, we would welcome your enquiry. Moreover, we invite you to visit us for a guided tour of our 75,000 square foot complex in Sheerness, Kent. It will only be then that the vast potential of HBC, as a potential supplier, will be fully grasped. There is no obligation nor any hard-sell involved and we think that you will be amazed by what we are capable of supplying and producing.

We recently had an enquiry from an automotive components manufacturer. When we quoted, they rang us back to check that we had our figures correct (our prices were a fraction of the nearest competitor). We double-checked our figures and no mistake had been made.

So how can we do this? Well, for 40 years, we worked solely for Weidmuller until our management buyout in 2003 and, of course, over those many years we built up a huge manufacturing facility with state-of-the-art facilities and technology as well as top engineers, designers, toolmakers and craftsmen. The buyout meant that we no longer needed to work only for Weidmuller (although we still have a five year contract with them) and that we could go to the global marketplace with our skills, services and facilities. Those clients coming on board at this early stage have been completely satisfied by our professionalism and speed.

So how does that affect you?
It means that you would get all the service, technological back-up and know-how at a price that we believe will be the lowest available in the UK. We already have all the equipment in place (much of it installed by the original Weidmuller company and therefore already bought and paid for). We also have all the knowledge, systems and software available for huge volume demand. Many fixed assets came with the 2003 company buyout although we have also added to this over the last year or so, for instance with the implementation of some very impressive robotic assembly stations. You will simply not find a more cost-effective and professional enterprise to outsource to.

HBC is fast-moving, robust and highly adaptable. It's business culture is founded on technology, processes and a structure which facilitate rapid response and adaptation in an incredibly co-ordinated way, making it a highly competitive and dynamic enterprise.
