Everything Required
to Realize a Product.

Contract Manufacturing Services in Minnesota

Our manufacturing infrastructure spans the complete hardware development lifecycle, from initial concept engineering through production-scale assembly and integration. Organized around the three disciplines that define our approach.

01 / Design

Design & Engineering

Product Design & Engineering

We transform product concepts into fully documented, manufacturing-ready designs. Our engineering team builds in production considerations from the earliest architecture decisions, eliminating the costly redesigns that come when design and manufacturing are siloed.

  • Product architecture development
  • Mechanical design & CAD modeling
  • Electronic system integration
  • Bill of Materials (BOM) development & management
  • Design for Manufacturability (DFM) analysis
  • Engineering documentation & revision control
  • Manufacturing readiness review

Cable & Electrical Design

Custom cabling and electrical systems designed for integration from the start. We develop harness architectures, connector specifications, and electrical documentation that work seamlessly with mechanical and electronic system designs.

  • Cable harness architecture & layout
  • Connector selection & specification
  • Electrical system documentation
  • Integration planning with mechanical design
  • Compliance-aware design for electrical safety

Packaging Design & Engineering

Protective packaging engineered to ensure products arrive intact and deployment-ready. We design and test packaging solutions that balance protection, logistics efficiency, and brand presentation.

  • Custom packaging design & structural engineering
  • Drop & transit testing
  • Materials selection
  • Branding integration
  • Logistics and shipping preparation
02 / Build

Prototyping, Fabrication & Integration

Rapid Prototyping

Quick-turn prototype development without the typical NRE burden. We deliver functional units fast, so you can validate performance and iterate before committing to production volumes. Most prototype engagements can be initiated without non-recurring engineering fees.

  • 3D printing & additive manufacturing
  • Precision CNC machining
  • Prototype assembly & functional testing
  • Engineering validation & iteration support
  • Pre-certification prototype preparation
  • Quick-turn turnaround capability

Metal Design & Fabrication

Custom metal components, enclosures, and structural assemblies fabricated in-house with precision equipment. From single prototype brackets to production-ready sheet metal work, we control quality and turnaround at every step.

  • CNC laser cutting
  • Press brake metal forming
  • Sheet metal fabrication (various gauges & materials)
  • Custom brackets & adapter assemblies
  • Structural enclosure design & fabrication
  • Precision drilling & machining

Cable Fabrication & Harness Assembly

Complete cable and harness fabrication from design through finished assembly. We build complex multi-conductor harnesses, custom connector assemblies, and complete electrical integration packages for hardware systems.

  • Wire cutting, stripping & preparation
  • Connector crimping & termination
  • Harness assembly & routing
  • Low-pressure overmolding
  • Electrical integration & continuity testing

Product Integration & System Assembly

Full system-level integration of mechanical, electronic, and cabling systems, delivered ready for installation, deployment, or distribution. We assemble and test complete hardware systems, not just individual components.

  • Mechatronics integration
  • System assembly & build documentation
  • Component kitting & inventory management
  • System-level testing & validation
  • Firmware & image deployment
  • Packaging & delivery preparation

Validation & Certification Support

We address regulatory compliance from the earliest design stages, reducing the risk of late-stage redesigns. TRI supports certification preparation and coordinates with qualified third-party laboratories when formal testing is required.

  • FCC compliance for electronic devices
  • Electrical safety standards
  • Environmental & materials compliance
  • Lab coordination & certification testing
  • Industry-specific regulatory requirements
  • Ongoing compliance management

Branding & Finishing

Product finishing solutions that reinforce brand identity at the hardware level. We offer a range of marking, coating, and identification options to deliver products that represent your brand as intended.

  • Silk screening & custom labeling
  • Custom color matching
  • Embossing & engraving
  • Vinyl application
  • Asset tagging & serialization
03 / Scale

Manufacturing Scale-Up & Operations

Manufacturing Scale-Up

We take validated prototypes to reliable production at scale. This phase focuses on establishing repeatable manufacturing processes, qualifying suppliers, and building the operational infrastructure that makes consistent production possible.

  • Manufacturing process development
  • Vendor sourcing & qualification
  • Pilot production runs
  • Production documentation & work instructions
  • Quality verification system development
  • Cost optimization

Supply Chain Management

Procurement, vendor management, and supply chain architecture to support your production requirements. We build supply chains that are resilient, cost-efficient, and traceable, backed by North American partnerships that reduce geopolitical risk.

  • Supply chain architecture & strategy
  • Component procurement & sourcing
  • Vendor evaluation & qualification
  • Bill of Materials control & traceability
  • Procurement documentation tracking
  • Inventory management

Manufacturing Advisory & Operational Intelligence

Strategic guidance for manufacturers seeking to modernize operations. As automation, AI, and digital systems continue to reshape manufacturing, many organizations require a trusted partner who understands both the operational realities of the shop floor and the potential of modern technology.

  • Manufacturing process optimization
  • Operational efficiency consulting
  • AI-enabled workflow implementation
  • Digital manufacturing system design
  • Supply chain restructuring
  • Fractional operational engineering support
