The Fasteners Etc., Inc. kitting and bagging service delivers value across a wide range of industries by eliminating the time, labor, and frustration associated with locating, counting, sorting, and transporting parts. Consider how often time is wasted searching for parts: in the warehouse, on the production floor, in a service truck, and even worse- at a job site. Every minute spent looking for missing components is time not spent building, installing, repairing, or serving your customers. By placing the right components in the right hands at the right time, businesses can improve efficiency, reduce costly delays, and streamline operations from receiving through final installation.
For manufacturers selling products that require customer assembly, kitting also enhances the end-user experience. Rather than opening a package filled with loose hardware and miscellaneous parts, customers receive organized, clearly labeled kits that simplify assembly and reduce frustration. Complete, easy-to-follow kits help minimize missing-part issues, reduce customer service inquiries, and increase confidence throughout the assembly process. The result is improved customer satisfaction, a more professional presentation of your product, and a stronger brand experience from the moment the package is opened to the completion of the finished product.
MANUFACTURING
Production delays often occur when assemblers must gather parts from multiple locations throughout the facility. Kitting streamlines the process by delivering all required parts directly to the workstation, simplifying inventory management and ensuring all necessary components are available when they are needed most. This reduces downtime, improves productivity, and helps keep production schedules on track.
Kitting also provides significant benefits for manufacturers whose products are assembled by the end user. By organizing and packaging all required hardware and components into a single, clearly labeled kit, manufacturers can create a more efficient and enjoyable customer assembly experience. Customers spend less time sorting through parts, identifying components, or dealing with missing hardware, allowing them to complete assembly more quickly and with greater confidence.
A well-designed kit minimizes customer frustration and decreases support calls related to missing or incorrect components. The result is higher customer satisfaction, stronger brand perception, and a better overall product experience from unboxing through final assembly. When customers can successfully assemble a product with ease, manufacturers benefit from improved reviews, increased customer loyalty, and fewer post-sale service issues.
MR0 & MAINTENANCE
Maintenance teams frequently waste valuable time locating parts during equipment repairs, especially when components are stored in multiple locations or inventory records are inaccurate.
Pre-packaged kits, labeled bins, or organized drawer systems ensure technicians have the necessary components readily available before work begins, allowing maintenance activities to start immediately and proceed efficiently. By grouping commonly used repair items, preventive maintenance components, or equipment-specific parts together, organizations can improve inventory control.
UTILITIES
Field personnel often work in remote locations where a single missing component can create costly delays. When critical parts are unavailable, valuable time is lost leaving the job site to locate replacements. By providing complete, job-ready kits in advance, teams arrive prepared with the materials they need, increasing confidence that the job can be completed.
CONSTRUCTION & CONTRACTORS
Keep crews productive by providing complete installation kits for each project or phase of work. Instead of making multiple trips to the tool crib, warehouse, or supply house, technicians receive everything needed in one organized package clearly labeled and ready to go.
Kitting also improves planning and accountability by allowing materials to be allocated by project, crew, work order, or installation phase. This helps supervisors better manage inventory, track material usage, and reduce waste. For remote or time-sensitive job sites, having complete kits available beforehand can prevent unnecessary travel and avoid costly downtime caused by missing parts. The result is faster installations, improved labor productivity, fewer jobsite disruptions, and greater confidence that every crew has the materials needed to complete the work correctly the first time.
