In your analysis of determining risk of new suppliers, please consider that B&R is well versed in SMIP (Supplier Manufacturing and Inspection Plans) for low run, high complexity parts.  B&R is quite intimate with edge conditions, workmanship standards and deburing requirements that customers often are quite surprised to observe.

Newer Customers often cite "special requirements" that are causing real problems with their existing supply base that end up being routine processes for our highly specialized team. We understand customers are hesitant at first but, after their first order, there is a shared understanding that our abilities truly match their intense demands.
