Logistics

 

An independent study ranked our company number one in price and availability out of the five major vacuum component manufacturers.

Orders placed for stock items received in the morning can be shipped shortly after. Guaranteed overnight delivery is available throughout the continental United States from our corporate headquarters and our stocking distributors’ locations. 

Exceptional service has won us many loyal customers who have had an assembly line down and been surprised to find that we would weld, clean, leak check, and ship a non-stock item the same day.

Pfeiffer Vacuum Valves & Engineering employs a lean manufacturing technique that combines bottleneck management and KANBAN with traditional MRP for production scheduling and capacity planning. Small lot sizes and standardized routings maximize scheduling flexibility and increase the visibility of jobs in the manufacturing stream while reducing manufacturing cycle time.

Over the years, we have added in-house capabilities, such as chemical cleaning and electropolishing, to eliminate dependence on outside suppliers. Additionally, this has allowed us to shorten lead times and reduce overall manufacturing costs.
