Contract manufacturing services provide parts and equipment on behalf of original equipment manufacturers (OEM). The design and brand name remain the property of the OEM. Contract manufacturing may involve a complete range of services from design and prototyping to final production, assembly, and quality assurance for complete products

Process development services can develop new processes, run process research and development (R&D) programs, perform optimization studies, improve current processing methods and provide other assistance in process development activities

Biotech and pharmaceutical manufacturing services providers manufacture active pharmaceutical ingredients, sterilize biomedical components or materials, validate processes or packaging, and formulate drug or medicinal preparations on a contract basis

Materials processing services providers manufacture mechanically or thermally process metals, ceramics, polymers, glasses or other materials on a contract basis

Ceramic manufacturing services for parts and assemblies made of ceramic or refractory materials. 

Laser cutting machines, laser welding machines and laser marking systems use high-powered lasers to cut, trim, perforate, weld, or join a variety of materials in plate or sheet form.

Isostatic presses are used for compressing powdered materials into shaped pre-forms or general products. There are two main types of isostatic presses; cold isostatic presses (CIP) that function at room temperature and hot isostatic presses (HIP) that function at elevated temperatures.

Thin film process monitors are used to control thin film deposition rate or composition during processing

Industrial ceramic materials are non-metallic, inorganic compounds that include oxides, carbides, or nitrides. They have high melting points, low wear resistance, and a wide range of electrical properties.

Chemical and material processing services modify or produce chemicals, powders, foods, minerals, rubber, plastics, adhesives, and other bulk materials on a contractual, toll or fee basis. Common processes include compounding, distillation, drying, formulation, mixing, blending, purification, extraction, synthesis, and powder milling

Specialty industrial process controllers are used in unlisted, specialized or proprietary applications

Process monitors measure and analyze temperature, pressure, flow and other processing parameters to maintain product quality and safe production operating conditions

Industrial homogenizers are high-speed, high-shear mixers that reduce samples to a uniform-size through maceration, cutting, and blending. They are used to process liquids, slurries, or granular substances

Wire manufacturing services providers focus on drawing wire from raw wire stock to a specified size, or on twisting wire into cables

Nanoparticle and powder processing services perform milling, crushing, classifying, screening, grading, atomizing, coating, or production of metal or chemical powders and nanomaterials on a contractual basis
