We Are Manufacturers’ Reps

Founded in 1969 by Alan Lupton Sr. and led today by Alan Lupton II, Lupton Associates is a trusted manufacturers’ representative serving OEMs and contract manufacturers across North America. For more than fifty years, we have helped customers improve quality, reduce costs, and streamline production. 
 
With a service record to many of our manufacturers of over 25 years and an average employee tenure exceeding 15 years, Lupton Associates has grown to become a leading solutions provider in the manufacturing industry. Our extensive industry experience and relationships with our customers and principals bring real value to the table that others do not.

What Do Manufacturers’ Reps Do?

Unlike brokers, we sell a range of manufacturing processes that work together to deliver the best solution for your project. Our capabilities include: 

• Injection molding 
• Stampings
• Castings 
• Printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) 
• Cable assemblies 
• Metal fabrication 
• Machined components 
• Thermoplastics 
• And more 

By offering multiple processes, we help OEMs avoid being locked into a single manufacturing method that is not the best option, and instead choose one that better meets their design, budget, and lead time requirements.

From design to production, Lupton Associates provides: 

• Prototyping to validate designs before manufacturing
• Electronics manufacturing for high-performance applications
• Metal fabrication for sheet metal and stamped parts
• Machined components using both common and specialized materials
• Thermoplastic and thermoset molding for durable plastic needs
• Casting solutions for a variety of metals and alloys

We will help you think through process selection, and provide quality North American and low-cost region manufacturing solutions.
