Picture this: The owner of his new retail store on Beverly Boulevard, in the heart of Beverly Hills is flying in from New York for his grand opening. His brand new Men’s retail store in the heart of Beverly Hills is perfectly ready, except all the interior doors are laying on the floor because of the hinges! Yes 8 hinges are about to derail a store opening and cause a contractor a serious headache. These high-end hidden hinges proved to be much more difficult than originally thought. The contractor underestimated how difficult these European style hinges were, and at the last minute, what was thoughts to be a quick install, proved to derail the entire project, and cause a tense scene instead of a celebratory one.

Fortunately, this contractor found about Mike and HexCorp 6 months ago. It was around the time when the supply chain was forcing companies to search for the possibilities of making parts or components they purchased regularly in the United States. That is exactly what Mike and HexCorp does. They are a prototyping and manufacturing company that helps design, consult, prototype, and manufacture. Located in Van Nuys, Mike has been assisting with people, and companies for more than 2 decades. With offices in China and the US HexCorp caters to a wide variety of clientele. Whether you are an individual with an idea, or you are a large corporation looking to save time or money producing a part or component HexCorp could be a valuable resource for you. HexCorp handles Laser cutting, CNC Machining, 3D Printing, Rapid Prototyping, Manufacturing, and much more.

The contractor called Mike and consulted over the issue of not having a template, or routing jig to create the perfect holes for the hinges. A problem that was going to affect the contractor, the designer, and the owner. Mike suggested a laser cut template that would solve the problem. Within 2 hours the template was ready. Mike called me, and I went over to his office, and a test proved to solve the problem. “I picked up the product and went to the store to install the hinges. They worked perfectly and everyone was happy that the store would open in time.” Hector said.

While we do live in a world where we assume everything is made overseas, and that it is not possible to get something built, prototyped, or manufactured locally there are still companies like HexCorp in our backyard. HexCorp handles everything from developing ideas with you, all the way through to cost effective contract manufacturing. Mike can share stories similar to the one the contractor above had over many camp fires. “I enjoy helping people and companies solve problems and realize dreams they only imagined. I guess it is kind of being a part of Santas Workshop”. - Says Mike. So if you are thinking about or currently buying parts or components give Mike and Hexcorp a call they just might save you time and money.
