Peak Sourcing Solutions — On Demand Mechanical Leadership

Peak exists to close the gap

Manufacturing leaders are often forced into a false choice: hire a full-time sourcing executive (expensive and permanent) or operate without the senior expertise required to scale confidently. Companies don't need a full-time mechanical sourcing executive; they need access to one.

Case Studies

Real results from our sourcing and supply chain solutions

Tooling End of Life and Replacement

ISO 13485 Medical Device

This case study examined a low volume, high mix ISO 13485 medical device. The work began with evaluating low-cost region (LCR) suppliers and progressed through RFQ, supplier selection, and sourcing the required injection molding tools.

Results Achieved:

60% part cost reduction
Over $1 million in yearly savings
Tooling ROI realized in less than a year

Results Achieved:

Part pricing below China incumbent
More than 25% total cost savings
ROI achieved in less than 18 months

Compliance and Schedule

Portable Medical Device
