The founder of
Tec-Option spent several years as a Welding Engineer with a
Tier 1 Automotive Supplier designing and building welding
systems. He was often asked to develop a welding system for a
new program with a minimal to zero budget. This forced
him to sift through used machinery and tooling to salvage
components that could be reused.
This experience led to
the development of welding machines and tooling to support the
rising quality demands and cost pressures of the
industry. The welding system envisioned would meet the
industry's focus on lean manufacturing and be competitive in
both cost and quality. This background is what led to the
invention of the Modular Resistance Welding System. The
product concept was unique in offering both flexibility and
cost benefits, while meeting many other lean manufacturing
objectives. Unlike equipment with a life cycle limited to
one particular project, manufacturers would be able to
purchase one piece of capital equipment and amortize their
investment over multiple programs.
In 1996, Tec-Option was
launched as a manufacturer of resistance welding machines and
tooling. Tec-Option focuses on building quality products
that provide its customers with a competitive position for
their resistance welding needs. The team of associates at
Tec-Option has a diverse background of expertise in all facets
of resistance welding, machine building, tooling design and
fabrication, as well as program controls. The depth of
Tec-Option's knowledge base is maintained through ongoing
training and mentorship of subordinates to stay on the cutting
edge of lean manufacturing process solutions for today's
challenging
industry.
