The company has perfected techniques for utilizing recycled plastics with no compromise in mechanical or aesthetic values. Innovative Components uses thermoplastic materials exclusively, unlike other knob manufacturers who make heavy use of thermoset plastics such as phenolic.

1. Our technical personnel are experts in the designing and manufacturing of
all insert molded parts, particularly plastic clamping knobs. In addition to
our complete line of standard plastic clamping knobs, we have engineered a
wide variety of custom knobs for specific applications. We work with our
customers to engineer solutions to difficult challenges. Our innovative
tooling designs and extensive use of off the shelf tooling components
frequently allows us to manufacture custom knobs with little or no tooling
expense. We are continuously looking for ways to improve your product
while taking out cost wherever possible.
Quality has been designed into our system, and we believe it starts with the
sales department and flows through the company. We utilize 100% in-
process inspection as well as final inspection to be sure each knob adheres
to our performance criteria. Innovative Components is ISO 9001:2008
certified and strives for continuous improvement. We offer full proto-typing
services, including PPAP approvals.

2. We are unique in the industry with a corporate structure where sales drives
production. Sales management has the authority to assign priorities and shift
production on the fly in order to meet our customers' needs. We strive to build an
atmosphere of total teamwork where EVERY opinion matters, and every
suggestion is given consideration. We believe in a well-run company with a highly
motivated staff where managers actually work FOR their departments, not over
them.
We work with YOUR system to simplify the JIT process. We specialize in annual
contracts with flexible release dates where we keep safety stock so you won't
have to. We want to be the key vendor who's not on your speed dial! It's OUR job
to make YOUR job easier. We don't say "We can't", we just do it!
If you have an emergency, Innovative Components is also the best in the industry
when it comes to short lead times. Give us a try!
