Services
For more than 35 years, FTI has provided “Tier I” and “Tier II” manufacturing services and are well known for the company we keep. In addition to our manufacturing and sourcing capabilities, we also offer a range of additional services for our clients. Our internal team of degreed mechanical engineers, machinists, assembly specialists and quality engineers stand ready to make total value the ultimate end product.
Sourcing
FTI has established relationships with a variety of reputable, high quality manufacturing operations in the U.S.A., China, Japan, Malaysia and other international manufacturing hubs. We added our first team member in China in 2003 and created Fortus (Shanghai) Trading, LTD in 2013. Our clients continue to rest easy knowing we have an ongoing commitment to a direct and daily presence protecting their IP, quality and production.
Our experience offers OEM’s the advantages of a global outlook without being overcome by the challenge of international sourcing. We most likely already have a working relationship with the right LLC manufacturing partner that can meet your needs and exceed your expectations.
Simply put, we can be your single source for engineered metals and injection molded items.

Third Party Sorting
When issues arise quickly requiring sorting services to contain defective parts, FTI can provide these either at our location, your location or your customers. We offer visual inspection sorting as well as dimensional inspection. As with our manufacturing, we guarantee quality control to ensure the elimination of defective products.
Warehousing
Minimizing risk, maximizing flexibility and avoiding capital costs means having the right resources ready when you need them. FTI takes total responsibility for the products we provide and we will also manage assembly components from your suppliers as well.
Our team will work with your planners to effectively manage stock levels and product rotation so qualified products are always ready to ship. We can warehouse both products that we manufacture on your behalf and others.
Mechanical Assembly
The FTI facility in Glasgow, Kentucky is designed for logistics, assembly, packaging, kitting and fulfillment. We are prepared to handle subassemblies at all levels – including complete, final assembly testing and packaging.
CMM Services
At FTI, everyone on our team is responsible for quality assurance and customer service. It’s a focus in everything we do. Whether it’s a one-time need to evaluate critical characteristics with standard gaging or as comprehensive as Level III PPAP, we’re here.
We have the capability to measure a wide variety of parts. Our Zeiss Contura 700 CMM has a primary envelope of 20” X 22” x 25” and can verify 0.00008” over its extended range. For less complicated components, we have all types of certified gages or part-specific attribute measurement available.
If you need assistance with creating the best inspection criteria, we will work together from your 3D models or we can create them for you. FTI can also customize the documentation template.
