Accord maintains state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities incorporating the latest CNC machinery, high-speed milling machines, quality and production management systems and software. It is here that we manufacture millions of complex, high-value products every year to strict regulatory, quality and customer-specific requirements.
Our manufacturing facility is also under the same roof as our design office, leading to a number of synergistic benefits across both business units. The entire facility is also ISO accredited with FDA approval across a wide range of parts and products.
Our specialist engineers possess expertise across the entire manufacturing value chain, with many having successfully navigated Accord’s exceptionally competitive recruitment process and rigorous training programme (Accord Academy). All shop floor engineers conform to best practice production methodology and LEAN manufacturing principles and are deeply familiar with Accord’s innovative in-house production techniques developed and honed across more than 50 years of operations. These specific techniques, allied with Accord’s specialised materials knowledge and unique quick fixturing and rapid tooling changes, have all served to develop and maintain its reputation as an elite OEM manufacturer.
Accord operates in high specification and tolerance sensitive markets as well as catering to requirements for larger batch, repetitive engineered products and holds various ISO certifications, including ISO 9001, 14001, 13485 (2015 & 2016) and FDA registration across multiple globally exported products.
These certifications have enabled Accord to operate as a true total solutions provider with the ability to manage the entire manufacturing process without the need for additional quality checks or double handling by our customers.
Our unique geographical location in New Zealand has facilitated the development of a highly reliable, self-sufficient network of local suppliers for the raw materials and specialised inputs used in the production process. This provides easy and efficient access to steel, specialised bronze and brass, plastics and rare metals and alloys, and has proved invaluable in reducing lead times and limiting Accord’s exposure to global supply chain disruptions.
At Accord, the quality of our products are our greatest priority.
