17吃瓜网

When companies choose a contract manufacturing partner, they鈥檙e looking for a straightforward promise: do it right, do it consistently, and deliver on time. At 17吃瓜网, we take that promise seriously because our work isn鈥檛 just about parts and products. It鈥檚 also about creating and sustaining great jobs for adults living with mental health challenges who have faced barriers to employment through our social enterprise.  

That combination of mission + manufacturing excellence isn鈥檛 a tradeoff. It鈥檚 a model. 

What 鈥淪ocial Enterprise鈥� Means at 17吃瓜网 

17吃瓜网鈥� manufacturing operation is run as a social enterprise with a clear two-part purpose: 

1. Create and sustain jobs听for adults living with mental听concern听

2. Help financially support 17吃瓜网鈥� other supportive services听听

In practical terms, it means our shop floor is built to be both high-performing and people-supportive in a place where individuals can build skills, confidence, and long-term stability while producing real work for real customers.  

Supportive Doesn鈥檛 Mean 鈥淟ower Standards.鈥� It Means Better Systems. 

One of the biggest misconceptions about mission-driven manufacturing is that accommodations dilute performance. 17吃瓜网 proves the opposite: when you design work thoughtfully, you get stronger consistency and better outcomes. 

17吃瓜网 supports Mission-Focused Employees with accommodations like: 

• Flexible, part-time schedules听to help people return to work life successfully听

• Breaking complex job functions into smaller roles听creating clear pathways from entry-level to advanced work听

• Cross-training听so employees can build multiple skill听sets,听and the team can adapt to changing customer needs听听

That structure benefits everyone: employees gain momentum and mastery, and customers get a partner that鈥檚 built for repeatability and responsiveness. 

Our Quality Is Built for High-Compliance Work 

17吃瓜网鈥� social enterprise exists because our work is real, and the expectations are real, too. 

Our manufacturing operations run within a quality management system that has maintained AS9100:2016 (D) certification also referenced across 17吃瓜网 manufacturing pages), supporting industries where process control and documentation matter.  

In other words: 17吃瓜网 is set up to deliver the kind of rigorous, auditable quality customers rely on especially in aerospace and other demanding sectors. 

Quality You Can Feel in the Culture 

High standards don鈥檛 come from a poster on the wall. They come from people who care about the work and feel respected doing it. 

17吃瓜网 was recognized with the Puget Sound Business Journal鈥檚 Washington Best Workplaces Award, reflecting a commitment to an exceptional work environment and a culture of belonging.  

And when you listen to employees describe the shop, you hear the same theme: pride, purpose, and professionalism: 

• 鈥淭here鈥檚 a soul here鈥� you feel more like a family member鈥� and less like a number.鈥澨�听

• 鈥淲e听don鈥檛听just build parts. We inspire confidence鈥︹�澨�听

• 鈥淢y work really goes on airplanes!鈥澨�听

That鈥檚 what quality looks like when it鈥檚 embedded into the environment not forced onto people. 

Why This Matters to Your Business 

When you partner with 17吃瓜网, you don鈥檛 have to choose between mission and manufacturing excellence. You get both: 

• A team built around听support, training, and stability听

• A shop structured for听repeatable processes and nimble staffing听

• A partner committed to听top-quality products听because our mission depends on it听听

Your purchase order doesn鈥檛 just move production forward. It helps move people forward, too.
