Our highly trained technical staff treats every project as unique, because every project truly is. Whether you need 20,000 small wire harnesses for hair clippers or a short run of a critical component for a sophisticated medical device, you will receive a robust and reliable assembly.
Certified IPC Trainers
Efficient Production Methods
Vertically Integrated Solutions
Vast Supply Chain Connections
High-quality Standards
Strict Specifications
WHAT WE DO
Our capabilities allow us to meet the challenge of any length, any quantity and any level of complexity, from cut, strip and terminate to extremely complex wire harness assemblies with multiple breakouts. From 26 AWG to 250 MCM, we work with high-temperature rated wire, marine-grade wire, and many other specialty wires and cables. Your custom wire harnesses will be built to IPC-WHMA-A 620 standards.
OUR PROCESS
Bill of Materials
The customer provides a material list and requirements. Our engineers review it and determine exact wire lengths based on bends and breakouts, which may differ from the original prints.
Cut Sheet
We refine and organize the BOM into a detailed cut sheet, specifying wire type, gauge, color, length, strip-back distance, and jacket material—ensuring readiness for the NPI build.
The NPI Build
We lay out the wire assembly on a harness board and document the process. For complex builds (up to 50 feet with multiple breakouts), customer approval is required before full production.
Markup
We review and test the NPI build, adjusting as needed (e.g., wire lengths, strip-backs). Changes are documented via Engineering Change Notices, and continuity testing confirms correct routing.
Production
After the completion of changes and testing, the customer has final NPI sample review to make any changes needed. After customer sign-off, the approved NPI sample moves into full-scale production.
TESTING CAPABILITIES

A custom wire harness is a bundled grouping of wires and/or cables that is installed into a larger product or device during the manufacturing process to create connections such as power or data within the product or device. Each wiring harness assembly project is unique in its length, quantity, complexity and application. No two custom wire harnesses are alike.
A wire harness organizes wires together while keeping them all visible and allowing individual wires to be removed if necessary. They’re usually installed in components of products or devices that are used in less challenging environments and applications and have an external hard shell for protection. Wire harness assemblies are also present in most automobiles and airplanes. A cable assembly is generally more durable and intended to withstand tough environmental hazards such as moisture, friction and heat. We can help you determine whether the assembly you need is called a wire harness assembly or a cable assembly. We manufacture both.
