Some of the team in action at Thompson's As a job shop, we're lucky to have such a diverse line of work. From on-site breakdowns, rigging and moving equipment, welding, fabrication to small batch manufacturing and in-shop repairs. Need some material? We have it. Something broke? We will fix it.... Need a part? We will build it. https://hubs.ly/H0klPKz0 Check us out Peterborough Chamber of Commerce! #LoveLocal

Material Sourcing and Production Costs - When customers bring projects in to us, they sometimes have their own stock material that they want us to work with or they ask us to source material on their behalf.

Tolerances on drawings can influence production costs - Tolerances are generally inversely proportional to manufacturing costs. Manufacturing costs generally increase as tolerances are tightened. Understanding the manufacturing process and asking the right questions will help identify which tolerances can be loosened thus creating cost savings. https://hubs.ly/H0gKNs40
