What is BTI's production process for transportation dials?
The dials and gauges made at Butler Technologies Inc. frequently start at the graphic designer’s desk. This is where exact measurements are created and implemented into the product’s design. Once an engineer has made their changes, the dials are ready for production. The dials and gauges are made through a screen printing process. This allows for a wide range of materials and inks that could be used. The material is then formed to fit the custom dimensions. Our finishing and quality assurance inspectors review the product for any manufacturing mistakes. Then the brand new custom product gets delivered to your door.
