Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Since 1984, 31 years ( as of 2015 )
What is your primary product or service?
Electronics design and manufacturing for OEM
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Original owner, Warren Kundert, was an engineer who left a well paying position to develop electronics to control noise generated by motors and fans. CRI patented several designs which eventually became common practice solutions for the telecommunications industry.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
CRI assumes some of the risk with the intention of a long-term manufacturing relationship with the OEM customer. As design fees account for less than 3% of CRI’s total revenue, we can and often do charge less than our cost for design work. The goal: both CRI and the client will profit with volume production. Using this model, CRI assumes some of the client’s risk if the product fails to meet sales expectations. If the product is successful, a pre-determined design fee buyout option insures CRI will meet price, lead-time and quality expectations.
