Fast Prototype Supply (FPS)
At Finn Global Supply, we understand that speed and reliability are more than just desirable traits in modern manufacturing—they are critical drivers of innovation, competitive positioning, and customer satisfaction. In today’s fast-paced industrial landscape, waiting 60 to 120 days for molded rubber or rubber-to-metal bonded parts can stall projects, increase costs, and put companies at risk of losing opportunities.
That’s why we developed the Fast Prototype Supply (FPS) program, a streamlined solution designed to bring prototypes into your hands in just 30 days. By rethinking the timeline from the ground up and holding ourselves accountable with a delivery guarantee, FPS gives our customers a decisive edge in bringing ideas to market quickly and confidently.
The FPS program is simple at its core but revolutionary in its impact. Selected molded rubber and rubber-to-metal bonded parts are produced on a 30-day timeline that includes tooling, molding, inspection, and even incoming freight. By bundling all of these stages into one accelerated program, we remove the uncertainty and hidden costs that often frustrate customers working with traditional suppliers.
Our process is transparent, predictable, and designed to meet the realities of modern business demands. More importantly, we back up our promise with a clear, risk-reducing guarantee: if we exceed the 30-day window, including weekends, you receive a 1% discount per day late. If delivery takes 40 days, you get 10% back. This level of accountability is virtually unheard of in our industry, and it sets Finn Global Supply apart as a partner you can trust.
Why Speed Matters in Prototyping
Prototyping is the bridge between concept and production. It’s the stage where ideas are tested, designs are refined, and functionality is proven. However, when prototypes take months to arrive, momentum is lost. Engineering teams may face project delays, marketing launches get pushed back, and valuable opportunities slip away. Many suppliers treat long lead times as the norm, quoting 60 days on the low end and stretching closer to 120 days in many cases. These delays often force companies to make compromises or pay extra for expedited services that still fall short of expectations.
With FPS, Finn Global Supply challenges the idea that customers should simply accept long lead times. We believe that innovation should move at the pace of your business, not the other way around. By cutting the delivery window in half—or even more—we enable our customers to test designs faster, pivot with agility, and stay ahead of competitors. In industries where time-to-market can make the difference between winning and losing a contract, a 30-day delivery guarantee is not just convenient; it’s transformative.
What’s Included in the 30 Days
One of the defining features of FPS is its all-inclusive approach. The 30-day window isn’t just about shipping a finished part—it encompasses the entire production cycle. Tooling is designed and manufactured within the timeline, ensuring accuracy from the very beginning. Molding is completed using high-quality processes that meet our rigorous standards. Inspection is conducted with precision to verify that every part meets the specifications confirmed by both our team and the customer. Finally, incoming freight costs are covered, eliminating surprise charges that often appear on invoices from other suppliers.
This all-in-one structure simplifies project management for our customers. Instead of coordinating multiple vendors or tracking hidden costs, you work with one reliable partner—Finn Global Supply. The result is a faster, more efficient process that delivers value without compromise.
The FPS Guarantee
Accountability is at the heart of the FPS program. While many companies may advertise fast delivery, few are willing to put guarantees in writing. At Finn Global Supply, we back our promise with a simple, transparent policy: if your order exceeds 30 days, you receive a 1% discount for each additional day. This includes weekends, ensuring there are no loopholes or fine print. If delivery takes 40 days, you automatically receive a 10% discount.
This guarantee does more than offer financial protection—it reflects our commitment to partnership. We understand that delays can create cascading challenges for your projects, from missed deadlines to lost revenue. By tying our own performance to your satisfaction, we align our success with yours. You can plan with confidence, knowing that your supplier is invested in meeting your timelines as much as you are.
Customer Requirements
To ensure accuracy and efficiency, FPS requires customers to supply drawings and material specifications at the outset. These documents are then confirmed by our engineering team to avoid miscommunications or errors during production. Once everything is verified, we prepare a formal quotation, giving you clarity on costs and scope. The 30-day clock begins upon receipt of a formal purchase order, which ensures that both sides are aligned and ready to move forward. This structured approach minimizes risk while maximizing speed, so you receive exactly what you ordered—on time.
Competitive Advantage
The industrial supply landscape is crowded with options, but few suppliers are willing or able to commit to timelines that match today’s market demands. Competitors frequently quote 60 to 120 days, a range that often leaves customers feeling powerless. By offering a guaranteed 30-day delivery, FPS positions Finn Global Supply as a true partner in innovation. Our program is not just about speed—it’s about reducing risk, enhancing predictability, and giving customers the confidence to move forward without hesitation.
In industries such as medical devices, food and beverage, semiconductor manufacturing, and oil and gas, the ability to secure high-quality prototypes quickly can create game-changing opportunities. With FPS, you can outpace competitors, meet regulatory requirements faster, and accelerate the path from prototype to production.
Real-World Scenarios
Imagine you’re launching a new product line that requires specialized rubber-to-metal bonded parts. With a traditional supplier quoting 90 days, your timeline for prototyping pushes your market launch into the following quarter, delaying revenue and giving competitors time to catch up. With FPS, those same parts arrive in just 30 days, allowing you to test, refine, and move to production on schedule.
Or consider a scenario where unexpected issues arise during prototype testing—a common challenge in engineering. With traditional timelines, making adjustments and receiving updated parts could take months, stalling progress. With FPS, adjustments can be made quickly, ensuring you stay on track. These real-world advantages translate into measurable savings, faster market entry, and reduced project risk.
Our Commitment to Quality
While speed is central to FPS, we never compromise on quality. Every prototype produced under the program undergoes the same rigorous inspection standards that define Finn Global Supply’s reputation. Our engineers ensure that all specifications are met, materials are verified, and performance is consistent. This balance between speed and precision is what makes FPS unique—we deliver quickly without cutting corners.
