The Strategic Advantage of Fluid Metering's Made-in-the-USA, Dual-Sourced Supply Chain

In today's global economy, the robustness of a company's supply chain is not just a matter of logistics; it's a strategic asset. For businesses that rely on precision fluid control solutions, the supply chain's reliability can be the difference between success and setback. Fluid Metering stands out in this regard with its made-in-the-USA, dual-sourced supply chain, offering customers unparalleled quality and reliability. Here's how this strategic approach benefits our customers:

Unwavering Quality Control
Quality is not a mere buzzword at Fluid Metering; it's the cornerstone of everything we do. Our made-in-the-USA manufacturing approach ensures that every product meets rigorous standards throughout the production process. By keeping production close to home, we maintain a hands-on approach to quality assurance from start to finish. Each step of the way, we perform various in-process checks to guarantee the quality and performance of our pumps. The end result is delivery of products that embody excellence and reliability.

Resilience in the Face of Adversity
Each year, our management team coordinates with different departments to identify risks such as quality problems, delivery delays, and shipment mishaps. Then, they work both internally and with our suppliers to find effective solutions to mitigate these risks. By diversifying our supply sources, we create a safety net that protects our customers from unforeseen issues, ensuring a steady flow of products regardless of external pressures. Since our team has been operating this way for the past 8 years, we did NOT see a significant supply chain disruption during the 2020 COVID pandemic.

Aligned Missions
In addition to internal analysis, we carefully audit suppliers, conducting a thorough audit of each potential partner before final selection. Prior to screening, we search the market for innovative suppliers who produce best-in-class products. During screening, we confirm that they are ISO certified and share company values aligned with our own. This process ensures collaborative partnerships that safeguard customer success and responsive support.

Reduced Lead Times
In industries where time is of the essence, Fluid Metering's domestic supply chain offers reduced lead times, ensuring that our customers get what they need when they need it. Having multiple supply sources allows us to use comparison leverage to challenge suppliers and verify we get the best lead times possible. Thanks to this streamlined process, we’re able to provide prototypes within a 10 business day time frame. This swift turnaround is not just convenient; it's often critical to our customers' operations and success.

Compliance and Confidence
Operating within the USA means adhering to some of the world's strictest regulations and standards. Our customers can rest assured that our products are not only high-quality but also compliant with all relevant regulations, providing peace of mind in highly regulated industries.

Tailored Solutions
Our proximity to supply sources allows us to offer a level of customization that’s hard to match. This flexibility ensures that we can quickly adapt to our customers' evolving needs, offering tailored solutions that fit their unique requirements and specification demands.

Enhanced Collaboration
Geographic proximity to our suppliers enhances direct communication and collaboration. This close relationship allows us to better understand our customers' needs and respond effectively, fostering a partnership that drives innovation and problem-solving.

Supporting the Local Economy
By manufacturing in Syosset, NY and by sourcing parts domestically as often as possible and available, Fluid Metering supports the local economy. This can be an important factor for many customers who prioritize working with US-based companies. We provide a safe, positive, and resourceful work environment for many employees, enabling them to grow and beneficially contribute to the surrounding areas.

We work closely with our suppliers to minimize environmental impact throughout the supply chain, jointly planting the seeded route to a healthier planet.
