01 Overview

Built for What Standard Manufacturing Can't Solve

Standard manufacturing works when your requirements match common sizes, materials, and configurations. When they don't —

BECAUSE OF
unique geometry
OR
non-standard tolerances
OR
an unusual material requirement
OR
a part that simply doesn't exist yet

— JE Technology Solutions provides the engineering and manufacturing expertise to solve it directly, from a fully custom design to a modified version of an existing configuration.

This is a common need across the industries JE serves —

Maintenance access built for one aircraft configuration
Case in point 01

A maintenance team may need an access system built for one specific aircraft configuration.

Case in point 02

A facility may need a platform engineered around equipment dimensions no standard product accommodates.

In both cases, the requirement is the same: a manufacturing partner capable of solving a problem that doesn't have an off-the-shelf answer.

One facility, since 2004

Founded in 2004 and based at a single facility in Apopka, Florida, JE Technology Solutions brings a combined 200+ years of team experience to this work.

Because design, engineering, and manufacturing all happen under one roof, custom requirements move from concept to finished product without the delays and miscommunication that come from coordinating multiple outside vendors.

How Does JE Deliver a Custom Manufacturing Project From Spec to Delivery?

JE Technology Solutions follows a consistent five-step process on every custom project

— understanding your objectives, designing a solution built for them, manufacturing and shipping it, validating that it performs as required, and supporting you after delivery — so a non-standard requirement is handled with the same discipline as any other project.

Five steps, in order
Every custom project runs the same route

JE Technology Solutions engineers and manufactures custom, non-standard solutions from a defined spec through to a finished, delivered product.

STEP 01

Understand

JE's team reviews your objectives, operations, workspace, and requirements to fully understand what the part or system needs to accomplish, not just what it needs to look like.

STEP 02

Design

JE's engineers craft a design that optimizes functionality and safety for your specific requirement, rather than adapting an existing product to fit.

STEP 03

Produce & Ship

Your custom solution is manufactured to the highest quality standards and planned for quick, safe shipment.

STEP 04

Validate

JE ensures your product works flawlessly and meets applicable standards before it's considered complete.

STEP 05

Deliver & Support

JE delivers on time and provides the level of ongoing support you prefer after the project is complete.

03 In-house capability

What Custom Engineering Capabilities Does JE Bring to Non-Standard Projects?

JE supports custom manufacturing with in-house engineering, documented quality processes, AWS-certified welding, and a broad range of materials and finishes

— giving non-standard projects the same repeatable rigor as any standard production run.

Where JE Excels

Unlike suppliers who require you to manage design and production through separate vendors, JE keeps engineering and manufacturing under a single accountable team — reducing the miscommunication risk that non-standard projects are most vulnerable to.

The same part, two routes
Separate vendors — four handoffs

You carry the requirement between them, and every handoff is a chance for it to be read differently.
JE — no handoffs

One team, one facility, one requirement — from the first review to the part on the truck.
04 Advantage // custom work

Four reasons custom work lands here

A1 — A4
A1

Single point of accountability

Custom work often fails not in the machining or fabrication itself, but in the handoffs between the company that designed it and the company that built it.

JE's in-house engineering and manufacturing teams work from the same requirement, start to finish, at one facility.

01
A2

Engineering leadership with deep technical credentials

JE's engineering direction is led by Principal Engineer Adrian Little,

who brings 20+ years of engineering experience, a Design for Six Sigma Green Belt certification, and Certified SolidWorks Professional credentials to every custom project.

02
A3

Proven with the most demanding requirements

JE has designed and manufactured maintenance work stands for the U.S. Air Force's 309th Aircraft Maintenance operations and a custom tail maintenance stand for KC-135 aircraft at RAF Mildenhall in the UK

— evidence that non-standard, mission-critical requirements are core to what JE builds, not an exception.

03
A4

Built-in manufacturability review

Every custom design is assessed for real-world manufacturability before production begins,

catching problems on paper instead of on the shop floor.

Q01

What does "custom" mean in JE’s manufacturing process?

A custom project at JE means the part, assembly, or system is engineered and manufactured to a specification that doesn’t exist as a standard catalog item — whether due to unique geometry, non-standard tolerances, or an application-specific requirement.

Q02

How is Custom-End-to-End-Project-Delivery different from JE’s Turnkey Project Execution service?

This capability focuses on what is being built — a non-standard, uniquely specified part or system. Turnkey Project Execution focuses on how a large or multi-phase program is managed, including coordination and logistics across a bigger scope. A project can involve both, but they answer different questions.

Q03

What industries commonly need custom, non-standard manufacturing?

JE Technology Solutions provides custom manufacturing for the Aerospace, Land Transport, Marine Fleet, and Adventure industries, along with government and military customers with mission-specific maintenance and access requirements.

Q04

Can JE handle projects with unique geometry or complex tolerances?

Yes. Custom projects are the specific reason this capability exists — JE’s engineering team evaluates complex geometry and tight-tolerance requirements as part of the manufacturability review before production begins.

Q05

How does a custom project with JE typically start?

Most custom projects begin with a conversation about the operational problem or a set of specifications/drawings, followed by an engineering review to confirm manufacturability before a formal quote is issued.
