Founded in 1996, Absolute Turnkey is a leader in manufacturing the complete end-to-end EMS solution. This end-to-end EMS solution helps customers rapidly introduce innovative new technology by providing speed-to-market to their OEM customers. Speed-to-market starts with engineering services and extends into prototypes and pilots, and then into production.
A. The CEO and I wanted to develop a service that would support OEM products from inception to conception. Being in the industry for many years, we listened to our customers regarding what they are looking for: fair pricing, on-time delivery and high quality.
We strive to run a high-quality business where employees as well as customers take priority. We provide resources to grow both the company and each individual employee, and use our skills to ensure a safe, green environment that enhances relationships at all levels
A. Our primary customer base is medical and military customers that require class 3+ assembly. We are currently working on getting our ISO 13485 certification. Our customers include medical equipment suppliers, homeland security, laser sub assemblies, biomedical products, communications and RF wireless devices, and many other high-tech sectors.
A. We do offer complete box builds and we have a full test department with the latest state-of-the-art equipment, which allows us to offer a less costly solution for ICT. We have production capabilities for thru-hole, surface mount, BGA, micro BGA, X-Ray, ICT, functional testing, AOI, flying probe, electro-mechanical assembly and chassis assembly. Additionally, ROHS compliant and “Lean” manufacturing techniques are being deployed throughout our entire manufacturing process.
A. With our extensive testing capabilities, we can offer many solutions to our customers to ensure 100 percent product reliability and flexibility.
The Absolute Advantage program was developed to provide customers with the ultimate in flexibility, while getting their products to market with speed. The combination of flexibility and speed is what sets the Absolute Advantage apart from other EMS providers.
The Absolute Advantage helps customers to rapidly introduce innovative technology, which provides a speed-to-market solution for OEM customers. The complete solution also provides speed in getting OEM customers’ products to market quickly. The end-to-end solution is ideal for engineering services, prototypes, pilots and production.
Customer market segments served by the Absolute Advantage include medical, semiconductor, military, communications, and many more.
A. We have a zero-defect standard that sets Absolute above the rest. We are able to perform and deliver reliable products quickly. Absolute has a proven track record of high quality, on-time price performance, achieving a successful year-over-year growth. Highly flexible and agile in its approach to projects, consistently meeting and exceeding customer expectations, Absolute Turnkey sets itself apart from the mainstream vendors. Absolute has continuously reinvested in infrastructure, systems and most recently installed solar power to reduce costs and environmental impact in an effort to go “Green.”
A. Five years is a long time away but I see Absolute expanding with a full service organization somewhere in the North Bay.
A. My five-year goal for Absolute is to double the company’s current sales figure, bring in-house design services to its present facility and develop a Single Package Single Location (SPSL) Material Handling System (MHS) in order to lean the company’s manufacturing process. We will lead the Absolute Turnkey team in this direction so that customers will benefit from increased productivity, improved product quality and time-to-market, reduced cycle times and manufacturing costs, and on-time delivery.
