OUR APPROACH

The old ideas about workholding, and the processes that went with them, are obsolete. We’re redefining its role by engineering solutions that allow manufacturers to boost production and rise to today’s challenges.

We Understand the Challenges

The end goal of manufacturers has always been to bring higher quality products to market faster. Chasing after incremental improvements used to be enough to keep pace, but the need to do more with less has changed the rules of the game.

Lead times for manufacturers have dropped by nearly 50% in the last two years.

Even the smallest bump in the road 
costs time you don’t have.

The manufacturing 
skills gap has left over a half million jobs unfilled.

Now complex tasks are harder
and errors more likely.

The price of steel rose by 25% last year, not to mention the cost of overhead and labor.

Your profit margin is running
out of wiggle room.

We bridge a critical gap

To protect profits and cash flow, manufacturers know they need to keep pace no matter the challenge, and despite being stretched thin. So they engineer and optimize their production process… often while leaving a critical gap: workholding.

For over 30 years, Bluco has been successfully bridging the workholding gap for thousands of manufacturers. We do it by engineering modular solutions that transform workholding into a strategic asset. Instead of just hardware, we deliver critical advantages that give you the power not only to face the future, but to shape it.
