MLE understands the importance of getting things right first time and prefer to install quality via continual process improvements throughout all operations.
Materials Management
At MLE we recognize the importance of materials management as it plays a key role in our success. The control of materials is essential for an accurate, cost effective and timely build. All our suppliers undergo a vigorous appraisal and thereafter continuous monitoring. This ensures all aspects of the supply chain, from receipt of goods, their verification, through to processing within the manufacturing facility are managed effectively.
We work pro-actively to gain the best quality and service from all suppliers and will manage the potential implications of component obsolescence and RoHS compliance.
Traceability from receipt of materials through to final product is maintained throughout MLE's manufacturing process, assuring quality and peace of mind from start to finish.

"MLE has considerable expertise in electronic equipment manufacture with a large number of products supplied including complete turnkey solutions. In addition to electronic PCB assembly, MLE can also provide electro-mechanical assembly, cabling panel wiring and electro-pneumatic assemblies."
Mike Lloyd - Managing Director, MLE
We can offer the complete final unit assembly built, tested and packaged to exact customer specifications into plastic or metalwork enclosures. We will also undertake box build for customers. This may include packaging boards into a case or a rack-based box/enclosure after an appropriate functional test. Traceability is maintained throughout the box build process with serial numbers added to the board and box. Within the final packaging, inserting peripheral parts of the package such as CD, power supply, manual, cables and any other components which make up the final package can also be managed.
