Our approach to utilizing partner vendors is centered on transparency and convenience for our customers. Typically, all production parts undergo rigorous testing at our Waterloo, Ontario facility before delivery to ensure 100% conformance. However, when it makes sense for higher volumes and cost reduction, we have established, longstanding relationships with trusted vendors in China, Taiwan, and India. These partnerships, some spanning over a decade, allow us to select the most suitable manufacturer based on part parameters. While we prioritize quality and visibility, we can also facilitate direct drop-shipment to customers' off-shore facilities when necessary, although this may involve additional quality assurance measures.
