Design & Manufacturing Process
From simple to complex designs, BJC can take your electric heating requirements from basic information and sketches, or detailed drawings and specifications and manufacture to those requirements. We design and manufacture all of our heating elements to tight tolerances to ensure they are reliable and safe in service.
Design
– Our design and manufacturing process typically starts with a request for quote from a potential or existing customer. All of our electric heating elements and assemblies are created to solve a problem, and we pride ourselves on working with the customer to ensure the solution meets their requirements.
– Our design and costing process typically includes early engagement where we can assist in the design and specifications of componentry based on industry best practice, and our tooling and machinery inventory.
– Where possible, we will offer alternative components alongside what is specified to achieve a competitive price. Any alternatives will come complete with detailed specifications to ensure they are fit for purpose.
Manufacturing
– All RFQs are reviewed by our quoting and in-house application departments, who will determine whether we stock the required components, or contact our vendors to negotiate materials costs and set up secure supply lines. Material supply and delivery scheduling is based around our customer’s production demands.
– Upon customer approval of the quote, a formal purchase order is submitted and entered into the BJC system. If required, an initial prototype may be produced for the customer’s review and approval. Following these initial stages, production can begin.
– Delivery dates can be customised to accommodate spikes in customer demand. When placing an RFQ, let one of our team members explain how we can structure a blanket order to fit around your company’s specific demand.
Customer Service
– Our team takes pride in every order, no matter how large or small, and strives to build a strong working relationship with each and every client. Our customer service department values every customer request and works to resolve each request in a timely manner.
– We have supported our customers with customized weekly open order reports and can create any type of report in order to help ensure your company’s visibility. Our customer service team is proactive in making each production project a success and knowledgeable enough to suggest potential alternative solutions for difficult situations.

Source & Supply
When it comes to the supply and management of electronic /electrical components, mechanical components, and assemblies we can offer our extensive procurement and logistics experience. Along with the benefit of long-term relationships with both local and overseas supply partners, we are able to offer a diverse and cost-effective sourcing network.
As part of our risk management programme, we monitor all suppliers on service, quality, flexibility, and price to ensure that they fit into our organisation. We conduct annual audits by onsite visits or through correspondence and share our results with them to help improve both organisations.
We are an ISO compliant facility and manufacture to all relevant standards. Our inventory and manufacturing processes comply with ROHS mandates.
Offshore Partnerships
Our strength lies in diversity, whether manufacturing onshore in our own manufacturing facilities and outsourcing, where required, or utilising one of our offshore partnerships who specialise in specific manufacturing processes.
So often, overseas organisations are geared up for high runs only. We have formed partnerships with organisations that can and will deliver on small orders with the same level of service as well. A lot of time has gone into selecting these partnerships, considering communication, level of expertise and trading history.
