Who we are

About RELY Contract Manufacturing

Built to remove the operational bottlenecks that cap growth.

RELY Contract Manufacturing is a women-owned contract manufacturer in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, founded in 2019. We manage contract assembly, part sorting and inspection, kitting and contract packaging, value-added and production transfer programs for OEMs and other manufacturers, in our 52,000 sq ft facility or inside our customers’ plants.

Why manufacturers use RELY

When moving defined work outside makes sense.

01 · Competing work

It competes with core production.

Recurring, labor-intensive or high-mix work that takes people, floor space and management attention away from the core line.

02 · Variable demand

It ramps, swings or runs long.

Launches, seasonal peaks, service parts and legacy products that still matter to customers after the main program moves on.

03 · Quality events

It needs a controlled response.

Containment, inspection and rework that must happen now without pulling your quality and production teams off their work.

The RELY model

Defined work in. Protected operations out.

RELY manages the contracted work: supervision, training, work instructions, quality checks, reporting and output. Each program has an identified primary contact who coordinates operations, quality, engineering and supply chain, so you are not chasing departments.

Our sister company

Engauge Workforce Solutions

RELY’s sister staffing company, Engauge Workforce Solutions, gives RELY a talent pipeline for fast scaling. Because we have both, we can tell you plainly when staffing is the right tool and when a managed program is. RELY’s own work is a managed program under our on-site labor model, not staffing.
