Automotive and Durable Goods

Printed Components
The printed materials that accompany your end products are as critical to your finished goods as any other product component. And your printed materials supplier must provide the same level of technology and process sophistication as your other supply chain partners to ensure efficient production. Produced on-demand or just in time (JIT) to your production forecast, EPI will flexibly manage the entire direct-printed material supply chain. Our relationships with some of the country’s largest automobile, automotive parts, appliance and construction materials companies has afforded us experience with best-in-class supply chain integration processes, And whether your need be technical literature, labels, warranty cards, tags or cartons we’ve developed the technology solution set and in-house production capability to quickly snap into your value chain.

Marketing Support
Your product sales literature is also a critical component of your supply chain. EPI continually invests in the technology and resources necessary to produce, manage and fulfill your marketing collateral, POP and sampling materials in the most efficient manner possible while providing the information you need to manage costs and maximize ROI. Some of the systems we’ve developed to get your marketing message into the right hands at the right time include:

Parts Logistics and Distribution
And furthermore, we understand that while our durable goods manufacturing clients’ business processes are built to move their product into the distribution network at the lowest cost possible, it may not be suited to the multi-SKU, one-off and small volume distribution required to support their spare parts, warranty and recall programs. That's why we've invested in an infinitely flexible and responsive distribution infrastructure—so we can manage these highly variable, time-sensitive customer interactions, and our clients can focus on getting the best product to market at the best possible margin.

We understand your challenges and have a wealth of industry best practice expertise to bring to your organization. We hope to have the opportunity to put this experience to work for you.
