Do I have to provide Comtronic with equipment, tooling and fixtures in the even we start a production contract?
Comtronic s policy has been to own its equipment. Today we have ownership of about 92% of our total equipment inventory, however, how much equipment we are willing or capable to purchase for new customers will reasonably depend on the quantities, investments and extend of the businesses contracted. In some cases it is preferable to receive some specialized equipment from the customer in consignment while the business is starting and then consider purchasing when both parties deem adequate. As for tooling and fixtures, Comtronic has a machine shop to fabricate fixtures and would be glad to assist in fixturing any production line. Should you have any intricate fixturing work to do we may ask the customer to supply it.
