Tailored Solutions and Strategies

Understanding the varied needs of our clients, we offer customization options within our mass production capabilities. Our team of skilled engineers (based both in Mexico and the USA) collaborates with customers to develop products that meet specific requirements, ensuring a perfect fit for their marine systems.

Many wire harness connections can benefit from standardization. We suggest using a specific product family from a reliable manufacturer that can standardize contacts, seals, and wire types—one of Kauffman Engineering’s specialties.

Consider sealing only the necessary connections. Many connector families have sealed and unsealed versions that use similar parts. The unsealed versions will reduce costs, which can be used for connections that are not exposed.

To prevent expensive future redesigns and obsolescence, arrange for a few extra wires in multi-conductor cables, especially if features are added later.

Our facility facilities in Mexico and the USA are equipped with the latest production technologies, enabling us to uphold our commitment to excellence in every product we deliver.
