PROJECT SOLUTIONS — FROM CONCEPT TO LAUNCH

MBE provides comprehensive project management and engineering support to OEM and Tier-One clients for fully integrated turnkey solutions.

Our master-level team of engineers and skilled technicians possess the expertise to execute complete, high-quality projects—from development, manufacturing, and installation to automation, debug, startup, and ongoing aftermarket and technical support. We offer strategic guidance on material selection, assembly conditions, and logistics feasibility to ensure optimal outcomes.

MBE delivers precision-engineered turnkey systems — on time, on budget, and to the highest industry standards.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES

QUALITY, CAPABILITY & EXPERIENCE
As the first U.S. company to manufacture Robotic Closure Assembly tooling in 1998, the assembly standards we established have since been refined and continue to serve as benchmarks for today’s engineering and production.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
By fostering close collaboration among all project teams, we prevent problems that might cause cost increases or production delays. Consequently, MBE provides turnkey solutions that meet budget requirements and uphold the highest quality standards.

INDUSTRY STANDARDS
MBE maintains close partnerships with tool manufacturers and leading experts across the engineering and manufacturing sectors. These collaborations not only guarantee that our products meet industry standards but also keep us at the forefront of engineering innovation.

CONSISTENT PROJECT TIMELINES
With MBE overseeing design, fabrication, and installation, various manufacturing phases can run concurrently, necessitating both long-lead and just-in-time material procurement. MBE utilizes an ordering system that automatically generates material lists directly from the engineering design phase. This system accelerates the ordering process, ensuring a smooth and timely manufacturing workflow.
