Applied Engineering in San Jose. 

We used them when I was at eatsa for a number of builds and were really happy with them. 

Quantities in the 50-100 piece range, a dozen sheet metal parts, few other custom mechanicals, bearings, PCBAs, pneumatics.

Initial query to the group for a US-based contract manufacturer to handle:

- Injection Tooling

- Manufacturing (more than a few thousand pieces per PO)

- Packaging (simple die-cut printed paper package card)

- Assembly of the product onto the packaging

- Cartoning for shipment

[Two people recommended Phillips Plastics]

 

We have had a great experience with Phillips Plastics:

http://www.phillipsplastics.com/capabilities

 

They mold our parts, assemble our devices on a semi-automated line using these parts and other components from another vendor, and package and ship the final product. We started with low volume production (single-cavity mold) and have painlessly scaled up (just validated our 8-cavity). They are based in beautiful Wisconsin but they have a design center in Sunnyvale. Here is our semi-local rep:

They don't do EE assembly, but everything else.

High quality, very knowledgeable.  Not the cheapest but worth every

penny.

I have used Pre Plastics in Auburn several times.  They use aluminum tooling to keep the tooling costs down for small runs.  In general, they are knowledgeable and consistent.
