Services  

 
Alzar is continuously endeavoring to improve the service that we offer our customers.  We are quick to respond to customer demands and suggestions. 

The following is a survey of the many services that Alzar is capable of offering: 

One Stop Shopping
Alzar is proud to offer a complete machining service with all of our manufacturing operations being performed in-house.  Other machine shops have to subcontract out services such as anodizing and plating.  This increases the potential scrap parts and delivery delays.  By offering a complete machining service, Alzar has full control over the entire manufacturing process.  Therefore, Alzar is better able to ensure product quality and on time delivery. 

Competitive Pricing
Alzar is always trying to reduce production costs by improving manufacturing processes. Whenever possible, we try to pass these savings on to our customers.
