SETTING THE INDUSTRY STANDARD FOR QUALITY

As a quality parts supplier to the conveyor and material handling industries for over 45 years, we have invested in a technology base for machining and fabricating plastics unmatched in the USA. We are capable of not only producing the largest continuous routing and turning parts in the World, but have the CMM equipment to assure it conforms to the strictest tolerances. More importantly, we’ve invested in people – training and developing the skilled craftsmen who can transform the most complex and exciting designs into finished reality. 

Consider the value-added “extras” that comprise our standard of excellence:

• Your part number stamped or engraved on your products 
• Parts that are cleaned, de-burred and ready to install right out of the box 
• Private-label drop shipping to your customers with your name and paperwork, not ours 
• Shipments that are packaged with care and labeled to your specifications – saving time and labor in your receiving department

AN EXTENSIVE MATERIAL INVENTORY HAS MANY ADVANTAGES

TSE is unique in its ability to have direct relationships with raw material suppliers around the World. In addition, our in-house inventory of engineering plastics surpasses that of many distributors. This allows us to: 

• Reduce production time 
• Utilize the latest materials 
• Save costs by volume buying 

• Deliver your parts faster
