Midwest, I think the key to success is to do lots of smaller jobs.. Ones of a thousand dollars or less. They need them in a hurry, & there is not time to "Price Shop", & no risk of getting them done off shore. Most companies will let engineers spend 500-1000.00 with little or no approval, this keeps the purchasing agents out of the equation...
A friend that has a small shop has landed a good customer.. a big outfit, that fixes things on the weekend. He usually gets a call on Sat. morning, goes to see what they need, makes the parts & gets them there on Sunday. They are willing to pay a big premium to get them done on the weekend, so they can start back up on Monday...
