Varitron Inc.: Turning Smart Ideas into Products

CIO VendorMichel Farley, President
“Creating solutions that help our customers seamlessly turn smart ideas into products is our passion. Our goal is to remove obstacles and minimize risk, so our customers can focus on what matters most to them— creating profitable products that beat competition,” says Varitron’s president, Michel Farley. He explains that Together, We Will Do What’s Best for You isn’t a motto; it’s a mission. It’s also what has made Varitron a trusted, go-to partner for innovative and forward-thinking OEMs for nearly three decades. Farley explains, “Having been in the business for the last 26 years, Varitron has grown its unique proposition by offering innovative, technical, and high-quality engineering solutions and services.”

Varitron services encompass the entire product lifecycle from design, prototyping, new product introduction (NPI), flexible production and quality, and after-market support. “All in all, the Varitron team strives to make our customers feel like heroes by giving them unique solutions they would not think about,” Farley notes. “Clients are amazed at the innovation that we bring in, and all of them gather around us to know more about the brainpower behind our services.” Many times, our customer’s engineers state—‘the processes and solutions that Varitron is delivering are ones I don’t think anyone has heard about before; every engineer here should know this.’ Hence, many meeting ends with entire engineering personnel assembled in the room.

Varitron helps to accelerate design to manufacturing process and they’ve developed unique expertise with new technologies such as over-molding, advanced cooling, nano-coating, and part-on-part (PoP) manufacturing to support growth and renewal of products across high-end markets such as medical, aerospace, defense, energy, and advanced industrial, through a long-term relationship.

Removing obstacles related with inventory, parts, and quality is also critical. Varitron has been among the first to deploy complete end-t o - e n d traceability. “With end-to-end traceability, we can track every part and step along the way, so we can identify quickly when and where a problem happens and help with a possible recall,” mentions Farley. The firm also provides different levels of testing to develop and adapt the test strategy and tools accordingly and the multiple US-Canada facilities provide business continuity and help with import-exports constraints.

With flexible production facilities in 3 north-east locations in US and Canada, Varitron provides support for low and high volume and complex products. “We provide the flexibility and the proximity, which allows us to collaborate with global and local companies. The facilities are certified ISO 13485:2015, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ITAR, which allows us meet every regulatory requirement needed,” adds Farley.

Varitron forms collaborations amid their customers, world-class partners and research centers, such as C2MI and AsteelFlash to develop new technologies and the means for deeper collaboration and capabilities. “The firm aims to continue leading and investing so that they can go from a smart idea to leading-edge electronic products—‘almost instantly,’” Farley informs. “To achieve this vision, we will augment our innovation capabilities by being first to integrate and master new technologies, enhance our customer experience, integrate and optimize our processes by leveraging data, and develop new solutions and value-added services that align with our vision.”
