Kitting & Hand Assembly
Converting components into goods at a fixed unit price
Productiv’s Kitting & Hand Assembly services create efficient and low-cost solutions to challenges presented by products requiring hand assembly, component packaging, or complex finishing requirements. We have extensive experience in handling orders with dozens or hundreds of SKU configurations, each with their own labor-intensive assembly requirements.
We function as an extension of your supply chain team, taking disparate product components and efficiently preparing them for final packaging and distribution according to your exact specifications.
The table below describes our kitting and assembly approach and the value we bring to our clients.
