Comprehensive Sourcing and Manufacturing Solutions
Tariff & Duty Management

Lithia Engineering can reduce or eliminate tariffs versus parts you currently source from foreign suppliers.

We have a network of Asian suppliers and an export import company for each country to manage customs duties.

With our network of 1,000+ suppliers in the United States, you can have peace of mind your pricing won't change from order to order due to tariffs.

Just in Time (JIT) Inventory

Lithia Engineering will put your parts on our shelf to support your production needs.

Given a blanket purchase order of multiple releases with defined dates, Lithia Engineering can place your inventory in our warehouse until the release date. You are not invoiced until the parts are shipped out.

Customers can take advantage of lower price points when you order higher quantities. The inventory will be on our books and not yours.

Quality Assurance

Lithia Engineering's supplier network is comprised of ISO 9001:2015 and ASD9100 certified shops.

Any of our suppliers can provide a First Article Inspection Report (FAIR) for every new part we source for our customers. Typically, these are 3 or 5 piece runs.

We understand many of our customers will perform their own FAIR when parts arrive. However, a FAIR from the supplier will give you confidence and peace of mind to move forward with production level quantities quicker.

Lithia Engineering can support customers that require the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP), which is structured around the AS9145 standard, in accordance with Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP).

Order Status & Tracking

Lithia Engineering will confirm your order and supply weekly open order updates.

We will share tracking information as soon as it becomes available.

Proof of Delivery (POD) and Bill of Lading (BOL) can be provided for each shipment.

Prototyping, Short Run & Production Runs

Lithia Engineering can support your onesie twosie piece projects, whether you are prototyping or typically have low quantity orders.

In addition, Lithia Engineering can support production run orders from the thousands to the tens of thousands of parts.

Kitting & Light Assembly

Lithia Engineering can kit the parts we source for customers, and add customer supplied parts, or purchased parts to the kit when needed.

Also, Lithia Engineering can perform light assembly (typically 3-6 parts).

If tooling is needed to perform the assembly, that will be quoted separately.
