Flexible Assembly Systems announces expansion into Mexico manufacturing market
Tijuana, BC, October 31, 2006 - Flexible Assembly Systems, a licensed distributor for Ingersoll-Rand, and AIMCO, has announced a major expansion into the Mexican light assembly marketplace. Its recent partnerships with manufacturing organizations in Tijuana, Guadalajara, and surrounding areas have established the company as a reliable bilingual source for electric screwdrivers, pneumatic tools, torque screwdrivers, and assembly tool accessories.
The firm recently added a full list of Makita cordless tools to its already robust list of light assembly tools. These tools may be important in manufacturing environments where pneumatic or electric sources may not be present. Because of the diverse list of tools offered for the manufacturing workplace, manufacturers in Mexico have found Flexible Assembly to be a natural choice. “Assembly firms and contract manufacturers in Mexico are always seeking a reliable partner for specific tools that give them freedom in the manufacturing workplace. Our recent partnerships confirm that we perform as an exceptional worldwide resource,” states Eddie Silverberg, President of Flexible Assembly Systems, Inc.
Critical fastening applications, ergonomic tools, and torque calibration are just as important in Mexico as they are in the United States. Flexible’s partnerships have enabled Mexican manufacturers to discover simpler solutions to local assembly concerns. “Torque analyzers, automated fastener systems, pulse tools, and material handling solutions have increased productivity dramatically for our Mexican partners”, says Silverberg. By focusing on exact assembly specifications, Flexible increases productivity and accuracy, and decreases ISO 9000, IS0 9001, and Six Sigma certification issues.
Flexible Assembly Systems has been working together with firms requiring light-assembly solutions since 2003. The company’s product list is extensive, and includes assembly tools, automotive tools, torque products, bits and fastener systems, and material handling systems. |

Light Assembly Companies Face Preventable Supply Chain Problems
San Francisco, CA, June 29, 2006 - The manufacturing sector’s largest issue continues to be supply chain issues, according to Flexible Assembly Systems. As a major North American distributor of AIMCO, Ingersoll Rand, and Makita assembly tools, Flexible Assembly Systems is a bellwether of the manufacturing economy, and the continuing demands it faces.
“Our customers have lead time, MRP, and other supply chain issues they face on a daily basis, and we’ve developed the business technologies to tackle these issues,” states Eddie Silverberg, President of Flexible Assembly Systems, Inc. Too often, a manufacturer will require a torque screwdriver, or electric screwdriver from a local distributor, and waste critical lead time in procurement. Technicians on the floor will miss the desired torque range, use the wrong fastening tool, or have ergonomics issues because they were not properly suited. Lead times are missed, and large accounts are lost because the manufacturing system is wrong.
“We focus a lot on education. Where a Zimmerman lifting system or rail system should be used, tool balancer weights, in-lb and N-m ranges, or the using the right pneumatic tool are common questions we get,” Silverberg says. The online tool, www.flexibleassembly.com has proven to be a good first step by increasing education, and reducing lead times from weeks, to a matter of a few days. The site also contains other helpful materials on screw presenters, torque bits, and torx products.

Flexible Assembly Systems Launches Major Tool Repair Center
San Francisco, CA, June 29, 2006 - Flexible Assembly Systems, a major North American distributor of AIMCO, Ingersoll Rand, and Makita assembly tools, has launched Flexible Toolfix, an initiative at maintaining it’s dominance in the tool repair marketplace. Flexible Toolfix is a simple and quick way for manufacturers to maintain and repair valuable tools, as opposed to the high costs of replacement.
“Manufacturing companies can reduce their equipment budgets significantly by using Flexible Toolfix,” states Eddie Silverberg, President of Flexible Assembly Systems, Inc. A tool that needs a spring, tool casing, or dc motor replacement will often times be replaced by a new tool. Flexible’s new initiative aims to reduce costs for end-customers by focusing on the life of the assembly tool. Pneumatic or electric tools have tool calibration settings, and specific tool parts that, if properly maintained, can significantly extend the life of the tool.
“Power tool repair and calibration is critical for our customers,” Silverberg says. “It’s not just about the purchase of the new electric or pneumatic tool, but the consistent follow-up that’s important.” Flexible Toolfix, part of Flexible Assembly’s ongoing efforts with light assembly customers, is an extension of its currently existing line of pistol grip, angle, and in line screwdrivers, nutrunners, and cordless tools. The company also provides torque calibration accessories and bits that are critical to extending the tool’s life.

The company’s product list is extensive, and includes assembly tools, automotive tools, torque products, bits and fastener systems, and material handling systems. |

Flexible Assembly Launches Makita Cordless and Ingersoll Rand DC Electric Fastener Systems
San Francisco, CA, June 7, 2006 -- Flexible Assembly Systems, a licensed distributor for Ingersoll-Rand, and AIMCO, has announced two new product lines that have been added to its light-assembly portfolio. The first is a major partnership with the Los Angeles based manufacturing and assembly tool brand, Makita. The second includes the addition of the Ingersoll Rand DC Electric Fastening Systems line to its product list.
The firm has added the full list of Makita cordless tools to its already robust list of light assembly tools. These tools may be important in manufacturing environments where pneumatic or electric sources may not be present. Makita presents a great deal of flexibility for organizations seeking a cordless angle nutrunner, impact driver, impact wrench, or precise torque screwdriver. “Our customers have been asking for tools that give them freedom in the manufacturing workplace, and we’re pleased with Makita’s ability to do just that,” states Eddie Silverberg, President of Flexible Assembly Systems, Inc.
For firms that require a critical fastening application, an assembly tool can only go so far. Manufacturers may require turn-key methods to get at specific torque settings, speed settings, and fastener counts. Ingersoll Rand’s DC Electric Fastener Systems tackle these issues to create the perfect tool for a critical, and highly specific application. “Critical assembly environments have enjoyed the performance and ease of use of Ingersoll Rand’s tool controllers”, says Silverberg. Programming the tool is a simple process, and productivity and accuracy are significantly increased by using this solution.

Flexible Assembly Launches Innovative Light Assembly Geared Website
San Francisco, CA, January 2, 2006 -- Flexible Assembly Systems, a licensed distributor for Ingersoll-Rand, AIMCO, and Makita products, has launched the first full-featured e-commerce website specifically geared toward light-assembly. The website, www.FlexibleAssembly.com, focuses on providing simple solutions to manufacturing firms.
Previously, when manufacturing companies searched for electric screwdrivers, torque wrenches, or material handling devices, they relied on a specific distributor for part numbers and pricing information. “Our customers have asked for an easy and cost-effective way to find light-assembly products, and we’ve developed a great online tool to do it,” states Eddie Silverberg, President of Flexible Assembly Systems, Inc. Now, online visitors can quickly scroll through specific types of pistol grip screwdrivers, impact wrenches, calibration systems, Zimmerman hoist systems, etc., and find the specifications they need.
“We receive many requests about proper torque ranges for an assembly tool, weight specifications for tool balancers, or what type of power bit to use with a certain application. Everyone’s assembly need is different, and our online tool answers common questions,” Silverberg says. The site also contains other helpful resources like a torque conversion calculator, PDF downloads of the latest CDI Torque Products, Makita Cordless Assembly Tools, Zimmerman Handling Systems, and Ingersoll Rand Assembly Tools catalogs.
