John Castle, an EMC Shielding specialist, launched his new company EMC EMI Ltd. earlier this year. Castle is confident his company brings a fresh approach to the shielding industry.
Castle was determined to better serve needs of customers in the industry when he was building his company.
“Companies that need these products, need a supplier who is reliable, fast and flexible. The most important issue for them is lead time. In the fast-moving industry in which his customers operate, they typically would have to wait 4-6 weeks for products to be delivered. I didn’t think that was good enough. When developing the business plan for EMC EMI, it was essential that I could find a way to get many of our standard products to customers within 7-10 day turnaround,” Castle noted.
The company plans to achieve this fast turnaround by having a wide range of products on site, by reducing lead time and by meeting the standard for material available off-shelf. “We can make products to order on-site and don’t have to rely so much on other suppliers; this has really given us an edge in being able to offer an unbeatable lead time for our customers. Also being a small and effective team of 6 people who are multi-skilled in each department, we don’t have high overheads, so this enables us to be very competitive on price,” Castle added.
Castle also plans to bring a flexible approach to the industry with his new company. “I think it is so important to be absolutely focused on the needs of my customers. It goes without saying that we offer a wide range of quality products, but I wanted to go further than that. I’m really pleased we have the machinery and skills to offer customers a bespoke service; adapting existing components or creating new ones if necessary, just to ensure customers get exactly what they need,” Castle concluded.
