Manufacturing

With our own manufacturing and assembly operations in the US and abroad, we control the entire process. Our dedicated and knowledgeable employees collaborate across two continents, allowing for around-the-clock production, ensuring timely delivery and service.

Specialized Processes

Surface Mount Technology (SMT)
ITC has four complete SMT production lines. Two of these lines are fully automated and contain SPI and AOI equipment within the production lines themselves to ensure proper solder paste application and positioning of components. One line is designed to accommodate up to 1200 millimeter printed circuit boards, while the other three accommodate up to 600 millimeter boards. All our machines populate FR4 and aluminum printed circuit boards and utilize lead-free components. We produce single and double layer printed circuit board assemblies for lighting, power charging, and controllers.

Flex Light Production
Our flex light production process includes two steps. First, the printed circuit board modules created with our SMT equipment are soldered to specific lengths. Next, we insert the assembled sections into silicone extrusions from our silicone extrusion machine. This insertion occurs during a co or post-extrusion process. We offer multiple shapes of single and double extrusions with different lensing and diffusion levels.    

Wire Terminations & Connectors
We use specialized equipment—including stripping and tinning, overmolding, and crimping—to attach electrical connectors and terminations designed for seamless integration with our customers’ unique assembly requirements.

Our coating, gluing, and ultrasonic welding machines protect components from moisture and dust, while our air pressure equipment tests the seals for completion.

Assembly Packages
With several unique production lines in each of our locations, we utilize power conveyor flow lines, a U-cell station, and one-piece flow processes. These assembly stations contain work instructions, quality criteria, and fixtures to ensure consistent results. We often combine our printed circuit board assemblies  with components from other manufactures to create a finished product. We also offer kitting to create a product or collection exactly fitted to a customer’s needs. We can easily add, subtract, and combine components to customize our existing offerings, or create something entirely new.

Quality & Testing

ITC has a robust pre and post-production quality control process, ensuring consistent and durable products, delivered on time, every time.

Our pre-production process includes in-person audits of all vendors and key sub vendors to understand their abilities to meet the tolerance and quality criteria for a product’s application. Our own lighting factory and our key vendor partners’ factories are ISO 9001-2015 certified.

If the vendor meets the general application requirements and we award the project to them, we then define the specific quality and testing standards, final product standards, and detailed instructions for each product before it’s released for production. Our pre-production validation plans are product and application specific, and we frequently obtain certifications and listings from third parties, such as UL and CSA.

Our multitiered post-production process to inspect production parts includes in-process and final inspections by the vendor and ITC staff at the manufacturing facility, followed by an additional inspection at our distribution facilities in Michigan and Indiana. All inspections and internal, and external quality complaints are documented, tracked, and followed to ensure resolutions are promptly implemented and sustained.

ITC is committed to continuous improvement, and products are regularly reviewed by our quality, sales, and customer service teams to ensure we’re achieving the best results possible.
