SERVICE
Contract Assembly Line
We take the parts we powder coat for you, combine them with the additional components you supply, assemble them on our line, run quality control, package, and ship ready for delivery. One supplier, one logistics loop, one quality checkpoint.
At a glance
Contract assembly means consolidating the steps required to reach a finished product (coating + assembly + packaging) under a single roof instead of splitting them across separate suppliers. At Focussan, a part that has completed surface preparation and electrostatic powder coating moves directly to our assembly line where it is combined with sub-components you supply (screws, plastic accessories, cables, labels, aluminium extrusions, etc.), passes visual and functional quality control, and is packaged with your branding or ours. Result: coated + assembled + packaged finished product ready to ship, all from one facility.
Process Steps
- 01
Goods Receipt + Inventory
Metal parts to be coated and additional sub-components arrive. Count, damage check, link to work order.
- 02
Electrostatic Powder Coating
In our own workshop: surface preparation → spray → cure → cool. Details: Powder Coating page.
- 03
Assembly Line
Coated part moves straight to assembly. Screw torque, sequencing, adhesives / seals, cable routing — per your specification.
- 04
Quality Control
Visual inspection (colour, surface, scratch) + functional test (movement, mount tightness, dimensional fit). Defects rolled back through the flow.
- 05
Labelling + Packaging
Branded box or neutral kraft, printed label, barcode, user guide. With your visual identity or our standard.
- 06
Dispatch
To your address, warehouse, or direct to your end customer. Pallet, carton, container — depending on order type.
WHY OUTSOURCE TO US
Coating + Assembly Under One Roof
Splitting coating across one workshop and assembly across another means: extra freight, repacking, scratch risk in transit, two separate QC rounds, two supplier relationships to manage. Focussan offers an integrated flow on a single site.

- 0Coating-to-assembly transit
- SingleQuality checkpoint
- SingleInvoice + supplier relationship
Suitable Product Types
Any product with a metal main body plus additional sub-components. Typical examples:
Pricing Approach
Assembly line pricing is not a fixed list — it varies with product complexity. Quotes factor in:
- 1. Per-unit labour time: Minutes a product spends on the line.
- 2. Component count + type: Screws, plastic clips, cables, electronic boards, mechanical parts, etc.
- 3. QC depth: Visual only, functional test required, certification required?
- 4. Packaging type: Neutral kraft → branded colour box → wooden pallet — meaningful cost difference.
- 5. Production volume: 1,000 vs 50,000 units per month require different line planning. Unit cost drops with volume.
- 6. Contract duration: One-off projects and 12-month framework contracts price differently. Long-term commitments receive a contract discount.

How a Project Starts
- A. Product evaluation: You send specification, BOM, target volume, packaging requirements.
- B. Preliminary quote + sample run: We share process and pricing framework. Optionally we produce a pilot batch for your approval.
- C. Contract + component supply plan: We define the inbound flow for your components (just-in-time or stock).
- D. Serial production start: The line runs, periodic QC reports are shared.
- E. Dispatch + invoicing: Packaged product ships at the agreed cadence, electronic invoices issued.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a minimum order quantity?
A baseline volume is required to amortise line setup. Project minimums are agreed individually; small runs (1-100) can be handled as one-off arrangements, while serial production typically becomes economical from 500+ units.
Can Focussan source the additional components?
Depends on contract type. Off-the-shelf items (screws, nuts, basic plastic parts) we can source. Custom / OEM components (your branded labels, calibrated electronics) you supply.
Do you package under our brand?
Yes. We use your box design, label, user guide, barcode, leaflet. Provide design files and print specification; we can also manage the print sourcing.
How many SKUs can you run on one product?
The line accommodates colour, size, package configuration variants. A typical TV-mount family runs as 4 models × 2 colours × 2 packages = 16 SKUs comfortably. Higher SKU counts add line changeover time as a separate cost item.
Do you manage stock (warehousing, dispatch timing)?
Depends on agreement. Just-in-time production means we hold minimal stock and ship on call. With buffer stock, we can hold a portion of finished goods at our facility. Long-term contracts define rotation rules in advance.
Do you provide quality control reports?
Yes. Periodic (weekly or monthly) PDF report: units produced, defect rate, defect types, accept / reject decisions. Frequency and detail level are set in the contract.
