We Do It Differently
At JN White®, the labels, graphic overlays, and membrane switches we manufacture are more than just components. They’re the user interfaces that enable people to interact with your products. Thus, we hold ourselves to rigorous, unwavering quality standards in order to deliver with precision every day on every product.
Likewise, we believe your component vendor shouldn’t just be a vendor. To that end, our organization is engaged in Lean Six Sigma in order to provide our customers with the most seamless, highest quality experience possible. It’s a promise we stand by.
Listen. Translate. Create. In That Order
One of the biggest reasons we’ve become our customers’ trusted partner is because we speak their language. And so we’re consistently able to understand and translate their needs into perfectly executed outcomes. Looking for help with your product’s evolution? Let’s talk.
