STANTON, Ky., Aug. 25, 2026 - Stantek Manufacturing, LLC. supports OEMs and defense customers with custom contract manufacturing and assembly services through a five-pillar approach focused on quality, delivery, flexibility, compliance and manufacturing expertise for long-term production programs.
As OEM programs become more complex, manufacturing partners must be able to respond to changing specifications, production ramp requirements, short-run needs and demanding delivery schedules. Stantek's five-pillar manufacturing approach brings these capabilities together to support customers from prototyping through ongoing production.

Five Pillars for OEM Manufacturing Decisions
Quality Assurance: Stantek maintains ISO 9001:2015 certification through Smithers Quality Assessments and follows applicable IPC/WHMA-A-620 and J-STD-001 standards for wiring and electronics manufacturing. Stantek reports a 99.9% quality performance rate, supporting consistent production and customer requirements.

Just-in-Time Delivery: Stantek reports an on-time, in-full delivery rate exceeding 95%, helping OEM customers manage production schedules, inventory requirements and delivery expectations.

Flexible Low-to-Mid Volume Manufacturing: Stantek specializes in custom and short-run manufacturing programs. Its flexible production capabilities support OEMs requiring responsive manufacturing for specialized products, changing specifications and low-to-mid volume production requirements.

U.S. Government and Defense Compliance: Stantek is registered with the U.S. Department of State's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) and supports programs subject to applicable ITAR requirements. The company holds CAGE Code 14EW7 and supports manufacturing requirements involving products and services covered by the United States Munitions List, where applicable.

Manufacturing Experience: Stantek's team brings a combined 100 years of experience across wire harness, cable assembly and electro-mechanical assembly manufacturing.


Manufacturing Breadth Supports Supplier Consolidation

Stantek provides contract manufacturing capabilities across wire harnesses, cable assemblies, and electro-mechanical assemblies.
This manufacturing breadth gives OEM customers the opportunity to coordinate multiple assembly requirements through a single manufacturing partner, potentially reducing the complexity associated with managing multiple suppliers.

Stantek serves customers across technology, robotics and automation, aerospace, military, marine, automotive and medical applications, providing experience across varied production requirements and operating environments.

Built for Complex Production Requirements

OEM production programs can face a range of challenges, during prototyping to production ramp pressures, short-run requirements, demanding delivery schedules and industry-specific compliance considerations.

Stantek's five-pillar approach is designed to address these challenges by combining quality systems, delivery performance, flexible production capabilities, U.S. government and defense compliance, and experienced manufacturing resources.

By bringing these capabilities together, Stantek provides OEM and defense customers with a manufacturing partner focused on supporting complex production requirements and long-term programs.

“OEMs need manufacturing partners that can adapt as programs evolve, not simply suppliers that can produce to a specification. Our five-pillar approach is designed to give customers greater confidence in quality, delivery, flexibility, compliance and long-term production support.”
