The post Can’t find what you need for your Fencing Applications? appeared first on Emcon.
]]>Whether your application is for wood, ornamental aluminum, or other fencing materials, EMCON offers in-house design services to help find the perfect solution for your project. EMCON has the capabilities to design, prototype, and produce a product that will solve your design dilemma.
EMCON has developed a 4-Step System to get your product from concept to final production:
1) Problem and Product Evaluation
The process will begin with a dialogue between you and EMCON design staff to clarify what the problem is, determine why available products don’t provide a solution and to discuss design options to provide the best possible product for your application. You will need to provide information on the specific application and end use for your product. To begin the process, call EMCON toll free at 1-877- EMCON-4-U (1-877-362-6648).
2) Design Stage
Once the appropriate design concept has been determined, EMCON’s design team will create a drawing of the proposed product for your review and approval. Depending on the complexity of the design, this may require more than one revision to the design. EMCON does not charge for their design services and doesn’t limit the number of revisions to a design. EMCON is committed to your complete satisfaction. EMCON will continue to work with you until the best possible solution to your design problem has been provided.
3) Pre-Production
Once you have provided your approval on the design, the product goes into pre-production. During this phase a prototype will be made and provided for your approval. Parts will be extensively tested to insure that they meet all of your requirements and that you are completely satisfied. Once you approve the prototype, work will begin on the design of tooling and fixtures. Tooling costs can vary greatly depending on the size and complexity of the product. In some cases, the tooling can cover a family of parts in different sizes. Depending on projected quantity needs and the intricacy of the design, progressive dies/tooling may be required.
The cost of the tooling can be covered in various ways:
4) Production
Once the tooling is complete, production will begin on your initial order. Minimum quantity required will vary depending on the complexity and size of the products. Smaller parts will require larger quantities to meet minimum requirements for initial and follow-on orders. These minimums are typically in the thousands of parts. Larger and more complex designs will have smaller quantities minimums and are typically in the hundreds. EMCON will work with you to come to a joint agreement on what size orders will be needed.
EMCON will work with you to address your inventory needs. If your facility operates with JIT (Just In Time) production scheduling, EMCON can inventory your parts to coordinate with your production requirements. The details of your scheduling needs will be worked out during this 4-Step Process.

]]>Back in the 1990’s, EMCON’s founder, Jeet Kotru, had a vision of using his education in mechanical engineering and industrial economics to create a company that would combine standard and custom design quality products for the fencing industry with superior customer support. Mr. Kotru received his education at the University of Karlstad, Sweden’s Engineering College. After completing his studies, he relocated to Southern California where he could begin to turn his dream of being a business owner into a reality. With an eye on providing value to its customers, EMCON was started on a shoestring budget, but with continued re-investment, EMCON has grown to be a premier supplier of hardware fencing systems.
As EMCON has grown over the past 25 years, its arsenal of products has expanded to include hundreds of standard products for ornamental iron and decorative metal fencing, chain link systems, wood fences and gates, along with a vast array of custom products designed for customers’ specific applications. With continued reinvestment in molds, dies, and manufacturing equipment, the company also introduces new products on a regular basis.
EMCON is headquartered in Garden Grove, California. A stocking warehouse, located in the Inland Empire in Southern California, maintains a vast inventory of standard and custom products that are available for quick turnaround shipments. Every product is inspected to the highest of quality standards to insure customer satisfaction. EMCON prides itself on providing the right product for every customer’s unique application along with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
EMCON’s Mission Statement sums up the company’s philosophy:
EMCON is committed to providing the highest quality standard, specialty, and custom fence hardware with upmost value and uncompromising customer support. EMCON’s founder is dedicated to insuring the highest standards of excellence to each and every customer.
It is this dedication to providing customers with the highest quality products and service with complete satisfaction that has sustained EMCON for the past 25 years and will continue to see it into the years ahead.
