Contract Industrial Tooling INC. The foundation of CIT is working hard to maintain integrity, fairness and trust with all of it’s customers, suppliers and employees. We don’t make assumptions.

At CIT, we develop solutions for our customers based on the end product use; safety requirements, customer plant manufacturing processes and cost targets. We ask questions to ensure that we understand each individual customer’s needs. After all, understanding is the key to developing effective and successful solutions. Our customized process allows us to design solutions that optimize safety, cost and quality of parts. CIT’s complete turnkey approach (from concept initiation through volume production) significantly reduces the time and effort expended by our customers, enabling them to focus on other matters. In some cases, our customers have a specific design in mind. Others just have a broad view of what they’re trying to accomplish. Either way, our team of sales executives and professional engineers can design and engineer custom solutions. We can receive customers’ designs electronically, or we can design based on an actual part or part print. We specialize in design, prototype development and manufacturing for steel shipping racks and containers, cabs and canopies, and medical therapy tables, lift gates, and tooling. We also do modification and repair of shipping racks and containers, including dunnage. Other services include custom design work utilizing the latest version of SolidWorks design software, fixtures, CNC machining and miscellaneous weldment production.

Design Review Ensures manufacturing success

One of the unique things is ensure every product design is remodeled and redesigned from scratch

This is so that we can systemize it with all the part numbers and material numbers

Ensuring that there are no interference fit issue or any misses - that way we can ensure the highest quality.

Everything starts with engineering -developing the designs - so everything is thought through first.

We go through a design review - so think of it as manufacturing and design engineering melding together.

Engineers review everything and confirm that it is manufacturable, the tools and materials required to get the plan to a manufacturable state.

And finally - Success is when the design moves into manufacturing and everything is going according to plan

Meet Jay Atkinson, CIT’s Director of Engineering

He oversees design, manufacturing engineering, and processing engineering.

His team examines how a design will move into production and what needs to be refined along the way.

Before a product reaches the manufacturing floor, engineering has already shaped what comes next.

At CIT, even when customer walks in with a complete design, we still work through all the details.

“Everything that flows through this company starts at engineering.”

Getting those decisions right at the beginning helps set the direction for everything that follows.

Watch this video to see how CIT approaches the work behind the finished product.

No machines and no finished parts, but you can still tell. That’s life on the C-I-T shop floor. 💪

What’s happening inside CIT’s aerospace group?

Quite a bit.

From expanding our manufacturing capabilities and investing in our people to growing our work in aerospace and defense, there’s always something being built, improved or learned around here.

And sometimes, the best stories aren’t just about what we manufacture.

They’re about how we solve problems, how we innovate and the people who make it happen.

We’ve been collecting those stories in one place.

Our team knows the sound by heart. Recreating the noise turned out to be a different skill.

Working in Aerospace is critical: “close enough” isn’t good enough.

At CIT, precision is a mindset and way of life.

It’s shared by every person on our team: design, engineering, prototyping and manufacturing - from office to shop floor!

Whether the task is complex or extremely complex, we must apply our experience, capabilities, and expertise, managing every detail correctly!

It must be delivered correctly and on time every time!

This is the CIT way.

They produce great forklifts!

The right forklift starts with understanding your operation.

Whether you’re considering electric, internal combustion, or diesel forklifts, choosing the right forklift means evaluating your application, lifting capacity, operating environment, and other key factors.

Toyota’s Find a Forklift tool helps narrow your options, so you can identify equipment that supports your goals.

Find the right fit for your operation. https://bit.ly/3UkzE0k
