For over 40 years Blachford Inc. in West Chicago, Illinois has been solving noise and vibration problems with leading edge technology and a broad range of the latest noise control products.
FOCUSED SOLELY ON OEMs
- We understand the needs of Project Engineers, Designers, NVH Engineers and Purchasing Professionals which makes us highly qualified to provide solutions that help our OEM customers differentiate their products.
- We understand the need for cost reductions. Through Six Sigma and other tools within our Quality Management System, continual cost reductions and product improvements are part of our DNA.
- We do not supply the high volume automotive market so our processes are versatile and capable of producing short runs with short lead times when necessary.
VERTICALLY INTEGRATED
- As formulators, compounders and processors of all our own dampers, barriers and composites, we customize treatments for the particular needs of our customers to ensure efficient solutions to NVH challenges.
- Since we design and manufacture our own products, we have a low manufacturing cost basis.
- As certain raw materials become scarce or escalate in price, we have the unique ability to formulate using alternate raws such as polymers, rubbers, fillers and other components, and take the best advantage of what the global raw material markets offer.
BEST IN CLASS TECHNICAL RESOURCES
- Our team of Chemists, Materials Engineers, Acoustics Engineers and Design Engineers collaborate to create the most cost effective solution for each customer's project.
- The Blachford Acoustics Laboratory and Technical Centre offers the most advanced acoustics laboratory of its kind, providing detailed analysis which ensures every acoustical part recommended has measurable impact, ensuring our customers receive the highest value for their NVH dollar.
- Unmatched R&D and Materials development for formulating polymers and rubbers to meet the changing acoustical and thermal environment help to keep our customers' solutions current with the latest material technology.
