International manufacturing

Manufacturing consulting

PMA approval is only half the economics. The other half is where the part is made. Rentech advises U.S. PMA holders on standing up production outside the United States — choosing and qualifying a shop, aligning its quality system with the approval you already hold, and getting first articles home — so unit cost comes down without giving up the certificate that makes the part sellable. We keep a reliable list of manufacturers we already work with, each one audited, and we have helped numerous businesses save time and money by starting there instead of from a cold search. We also handle the logistics and the tariffs, so freight and duty do not eat the margin you just won on the shop floor.

What we help with

The conversation starts with the part you already hold, not a country on a brochure.

  • A reliable supplier list we already work with — every shop on it has been audited
  • Finding and qualifying an overseas manufacturer when the list is not the right fit
  • Aligning their quality system with your PMA
  • First-article, incoming inspection, and the paperwork trail back to the States
  • Logistics and tariffs, so you do not pay freight and duty you did not need to
  • A cost and margin review before you commit to a shop
