How we help lighting companies innovate
Sourcing CNC Machining
The Othala simplifies the process of sourcing CNC machining for lighting projects by providing easy access to competitive pricing. Compare options for order volumes, lead times, materials suitable for lighting applications, precise tolerances, specialized secondary processes (like finishing and anodizing),
Rigorous Quality Control
To ensure a consistent and reliable supply chain for your lighting components, Othala adheres to rigorous quality control processes and protocols. Our manufacturing partners undergo a thorough vetting process before joining the network, and frequent on-site audits by our experienced quality engineers ensure adherence to the Othala Network Standard.
Expert Local Sourcing
Supply chain resilience is critical, especially when lighting projects require parts on strict schedules and with specific certifications relevant to the lighting industry (e.g., UL, CE). Othala offers both local and global sourcing strategies to mitigate supply chain risks and provide sourcing solutions that meet these compliance requirements.
