At Sterling, we know that manufacturing is more than machining and technical capabilities; our reputation has been built on our process management and design thinking as much as on our deep technical expertise.

Our arsenal of assembly & manufacturing technologies enable us to produce a wide range of devices and components; Clean Rooms, advanced testing and packaging capabilities help us deliver end-to-end solutions.
Onboarding & Product Lifecycle
Our clients quickly realize that disciplined process is what makes us rise above the crowd. Our methodical approach to onboarding and product lifecycle ensures success; we work together to advance through each development stage, making sure we meet all the requirements to move the project to its next phase:
I. Design Assistance
At each phase, projects must pass through a stage-gate, making sure we’ve got everything we need to progress to the next stage
- Concept & planning
- Product development, ending with design lock
- Process development, ending with process lock
- Quality validation
