Custom coil manufacturers are one of the major types of coil manufacturers in the industry. They develop coils according to customer designs and requirements, often for more unique applications that the standard coil manufacturers don’t cover. Finding the right custom coil manufacturer can seem like a monumental task, but so long as you keep these few things in mind, you’ll be able to narrow down your options until you find the right partner for you. 

Match your needs with their capabilities

Not every custom coil manufacturer serves the same applications, or even specializes in the same types of coils. Some may focus on frequency performance, or their priorities may be in form, fit, and function. Many custom manufacturers serve a specific group of industries or applications, such as specializing specifically in the Aerospace industry or in coils for medical applications.

Matching your project’s needs with the specialization of the manufacturer is the first step to finding the right custom coil manufacturer. Be sure to research which industries and applications that they handle, and the types of coils that they commonly develop.

Ensure they are equipped to handle your project

Many custom coil manufacturers these days have some sort of website where you can learn more about their capabilities, qualifications, and equipment. You can also always contact them directly! Good manufacturers will be happy to answer questions you have about their capabilities and operations. Contacting the manufacturer directly will also give you an idea of how compatible your two companies are.

How experienced are they?

One good measure of a reliable and quality manufacturer is how long they have been in business. A manufacturing company that has been around for decades is a stable one that has withstood the test of time across many different economic challenges. It’s also often a good sign that the company provides quality service–after all, sticking around for that long takes hard work and dedication to the craft. 

Final thoughts

It’s good to keep in mind that these are just a few of the things to look for. Cost is always important, as well as balancing the costs with the quality you require. Location can also be important as a more local manufacturer means less expensive delivery.
