Sometimes our expertise in one manufacturing area can help us find solutions for another. Our first example highlights one of those moments.
Example 1
Manufacturing Challenge
The customer was purchasing a hub assembly design intended for specific use on playground equipment; however, it had a short life cycle before needing maintenance or replacement.
Our Customized Solution
Northfield Industries offers Agricultural Hubs designed for long periods of field use with little or no maintenance. Northfield redesigned and modified our agricultural hubs and the component assemblies to fit the customer’s needed application without sacrificing quality. This included chrome plating the steel to eliminate weather-related breakdowns due to the constant stress of the playground equipment. The customer now has a single source for their hubs from Northfield Industries.
Example 2
Manufacturing Challenge
Our Customer designed Hay Handling equipment that required an Agricultural Hub Brake Assembly with unique braking components.
Our Customized Solution
As a solution provider and following our Get Every Part Right mentality, Northfield Industries was able to locate, source, and assemble the special non-industry standard Hub Brake Assembly. Northfield coordinated the resources of Engineering teams internally and with the Brake Components supplier to provide the unique brake parts in combination with hubs into a turn-key assembly for the customer.
By finding a turnkey solution the customer decided to sole source their parts with Northfield Industry which they now consider a partner versus a supplier.
