How We Help
Manufacturing Experts
We’re not trying to sell you on using our machines if that’s not the best approach. Helping you make solid manufacturing decisions is our ultimate goal. If your parts should not be produced using a CNC machine we will guide you in the right direction.
Consistent Communicators
Our industry struggles to provide timely feedback and we’ve broken out of that mold. We provide every customer updates on a weekly basis, without prompting, so that there’s no mystery and rarely a reason to call for a status update.
Problem Solvers
Our team loves a challenge! Solving tough problems drives us to learn new things and expand our capability. Working to solve meaningful issues for our customers is what gets us up in the morning.
Customer Champions
Each customer is assigned a Bowden Manufacturing team member to be their in-house customer champion. They advocate for you so you don’t have to.
We know that fulfilling an order can be more difficult than winning a bid.
Bids can take a huge amount of time and energy from your team, but as soon as that bid is won, it’s up to procurement managers to take that bid from paper into reality. Making things come to life can be a lot more difficult than most people understand. This is why Bowden Manufacturing is here to help you better understand and better position yourself within the parts manufacturing process. We are here to help with expertise, advice and answers – and that’s before we even start providing you with the parts you need!
