Engineering

The PEI engineering team leverages years of manufacturing experience and technical knowledge to ensure that every part and component meets or exceeds customers’ stringent specifications. Our mechanical engineers examine a part’s design, objectives, and specifications while working with our customers to find the most efficient and cost-effective manufacturing method. Our intention is to optimize the process for the best results — becoming a true partner.

The PEI Engineering Team

Our team features decades of mechanical engineering, materials, chemical, and process expertise that benefits our customers daily. We are well-versed in the latest technologies, manufacturing options, and materials and have experience working in renewable energy, aerospace, defense, medical, and technology sectors. 

PEI’s engineers spend as much time on our production floor and with our quality assurance teams as they do looking over drawings and technical specifications. Their 360-degree approach to every project benefits our customers every step of the way.

How Engineers Help in Metal Manufacturing

The engineers who design a part, no matter its purpose, need to collaborate with engineers from the manufacturing facility to ensure it performs as needed. This collaboration offers feedback on design, performance, material and manufacturing options, and technical specifications.

When engineers work together, the benefits are clear throughout the process — better performance, more efficient manufacturing runs, cost savings. Plus, when smart people work together, it’s possible to uncover a new solution to an old challenge.

PEI Specializes in Photochemical etching but offers many additional value added services

Precision Chemical Machining

PEI’s commitment to delivering thin metal parts and components utilizing precision photochemical etching dates back decades. We are the world’s leading etcher of titanium and can handle aluminum, beryllium copper, molybdenum, and many other metals. PCE is an ideal manufacturing process for rapid prototyping and high-production runs.

Forming

Our precision operators turn thin metal parts into reliable components with meticulous machine and manual forming techniques to meet our customers exact design specifications.

Finishing

Protecting precision metal parts from corrosion, wear, and environmental hazards is job number one when applying coatings, finishes, plating, or paint. PEI’s finishing capabilities will meet or exceed industry standards and requirements.

Assembly

PEI delivers durable and reliable assembled components found in power-generating, life-saving, and high-technology applications worldwide. Our expert team of engineers and operators team to ensure our partners receive ready-to-implement solutions that will last.

Quality Assurance

The PEI Quality Assurance team analyzes every thin metal part and component to ensure its precision, accuracy, and durability. Our team uses a combination of technological and manual inspection techniques to ensure part perfection before any part or component leaves our facility.

Our first job is establishing trust to inspire a spirit of partnership.

Industries and technologies evolve when people work together to push boundaries and uncover new solutions. For over 50 years, we’ve stood shoulder to shoulder as leading companies across every market sector push forward with revolutionary innovations that change the world.
