| Founded in 1976, Tobar Industries was originally located in Mountain
View, California. Our first customers included TRW and Hewlett Packard
as we launched into the turnkey precision metal fabrication industry.
By the late 1980s, we had outgrown our original facility and
expanded our operations into an additional Mountain View facility
for our programming, punching and machining . We also added painting
and plating operations under the roof of our main facility allowing
us to provide turnkey products to our increasingly high-tech customer
base.
By the early 1990s, we added a third facility in Sunnyvale for
assembling ESD turnkey products. In 2000, we combined our operations
into one larger 47,000 square foot facility in San Jose, California
where we are currently located.
By early 2001, the Silicon Valley was especially hard hit economically
but we worked with our customer base to help make them more competitive
during this crisis. Through cost reduction initiatives, establishing
JIT systems and providing design support to take cost out before
manufacturing.
In 2002, we received an opportunity from a Fortune 500 Biomedical
customer to redesign one of their existing products and create
their documentations package. In doing this we were able to reduce
manufacturing costs that saved that customer over $350,000 in
the 1st year.
Our company mission statement reads: "...to provide our
Customers with the level of product quality and service that not
only meet the requirements but also surpasses their expectations."
We continue to strive toward that goal every day. Building products
to customer specifications is our business, and we offer unparalleled
design support to new and existing customers. This affords us
the opportunity to offer design advice on making parts manufacturable,
thus reducing the price and giving a competitive advantage to
that product. Please call us for a free review of your designs.
