IMH provides contract assembly services that bring machined, stamped, and fabricated components together into ready to use products. By handling both part production and assembly in one operation, we help manufacturers simplify their supply chain, reduce handling, and gain better control over cost and quality.
Why companies trust IMH for assembly
Reliable parts, fast turnarounds, and competitive costs are the foundation of IMH assembly work. Our teams support simple subassemblies through more complex mechanical builds, with quality checks built into each step. Because machining, stamping, fabrication, and finishing live under one roof, communication is direct and problems are solved quickly. This makes IMH a strong assembly partner for OEMs and industrial customers across the Midwest.
Typical reasons customers move assembly work to IMH include
- Reducing the number of vendors involved in a finished product
- Lowering freight and handling costs between operations
- Gaining a single point of accountability for fit, function, and finish
- Freeing internal teams to focus on engineering, sales, and final distribution
Assembly capabilities
IMH configures assembly cells around the needs of each program. Work can be done in small batch sizes, larger runs, or scheduled releases tied to customer demand.
Examples of assembly capabilities include
- Mechanical assembly of metal components, brackets, and frames
- Integration of hardware such as fasteners, bushings, bearings, and pins
- Installation of purchased items including casters, hinges, handles, and latches
- Light electrical and electromechanical assembly when it is part of a larger build
- Kitting of parts and hardware into labeled, ready to ship packages for distribution or field installation
Quality and inspection
Assembly quality starts with consistent parts. IMH uses appropriate inspection methods at both the component and assembly level so everything fits and functions as intended. Fixtures, gages, and check sheets are developed as needed for each program. When required, we support customer specific testing, documentation, and traceability so assemblies meet your internal quality standards.
Supply chain and delivery options
IMH can ship completed assemblies directly to customer plants, to distribution centers, or to end users depending on the program. Inventory strategies can range from built to order through scheduled releases and simple stocking programs.
Common options include
- Blanket orders with scheduled releases
- Kanban or minimum and maximum agreements that trigger replenishment
- Direct shipment to multiple customer locations or field sites
Whether you need a partner to take over an existing assembly or support a new product launch, IMH offers assembly services that combine machining, stamping, fabrication, finishing, and packaging into a single coordinated solution.
