About

ABOUT

Established in 1987, ARC Group Worldwide, Inc. is a global advanced manufacturing service provider focused on accelerating speed to market for its customers.  ARC provides a holistic set of precision manufacturing solutions, from design and prototyping through full-run production.  These solutions include metal injection moldingplastic injection molding, clean room plastic injection molding, and rapid and conforming tooling.  Further, ARC utilizes technology to improve automation in manufacturing through robotics, software and process automation, and lean manufacturing to improve efficiency.

ARC believes the methodologies and systems of how products get manufactured will change materially over the next 10-20 years, due to technology such as automation, robotics, software, artificial intelligence, and cheaper energy prices. ARC’s objective is to be an accelerator of these technologies adoption in traditional mass production.  The resulting change will be a world where lead times are reduced, supply chains are localized, and customers get to market more quickly and efficiently than they do today.

ARC’s strategy hinges on two key pillars:

(i.) Solution Provider: ARC’s customers want to consolidate their massive, convoluted supply chains.  As a result, ARC has shaped its strategy around being a “one-stop shop” for its customer base, by providing holistic solutions for metal and plastic fabrication.

(ii.) Time to Market: ARC’s customers also want to get to market as quickly as possible to stay ahead of their competition.  Today’s global manufacturing supply chain is bogged down by lengthy quoting bottlenecks, tooling time/cost, and a wide array of manufacturing design complexities.  ARC’s solution, is to offer its services cradle to grave, from product development to prototype to short- to long-run production.

With regard to the first pillar, ARC’s MIM business usually makes not only the critical component in its client’s product but also one of the most difficult parts.  Therefore, ARC identified an opportunity to build out its product offering off the heels of its MIM business, by adding new capabilities and services in metal and plastic fabrication, to offer a more holistic solution to its customers.  As a result, ARC offers additional fabricating capabilities to its MIM part programs, which helps ARC’s customers reduce their supply chain and have a more efficient design/build process.

With regard to the second pillar, customers want reduced lead time, which can quite often be many weeks or months to get to production parts.  ARC’s approach cuts down on lead and tool time, by offering prototype and short-run production parts. Our injection molding technology has a wide array of plastic and metal materials, in-house tooling, and a proprietary MIM Feedstock formulation process

ARC offers a holistic ecosystem of products to its customer base and helps them get to market as quickly as possible for short and long-run production.  ARC’s investment and focus on technology will be a key driver of the changing manufacturing landscape of the future.
