ESP is a custom rubber, silicone, and gasket manufacturer. They are not in the design or engineering phase of the product. They typically do not have enough information about the total overall environment to which a gasket is being subjected to be involved in that phase of product development. Where they do fit is after design, engineering and testing are complete.

They typically get a finished print or sample that is identified as to material and hardness or an ASTM line callout so that material identification is possible. This is the INITIAL CONTACT PHASE. They then make a decision as to whether they can manufacture the product and if so, they initiate the QUOTING PHASE. When they get an order, they proceed with the TOOLING AND SAMPLE SUBMISSION PHASE.

Sample approval initiates the following sequence of events:

1. Removal from quarantine
2. Entry in Master Log and floor specifications
3. Scheduling and raw material procurement
4. Extrusion and secondary operations if necessary
5. QC and auditing
6. Shipment
7. Billing
8. Collection
9. Repeat orders

They typically operate in a 4 to 6 week window after approval from the customer.
