Request a Quotefor active RFQs

Use this path when you have a defined program and need a formal quote.

Use this path if you have:

  • Part description or drawings (2D/3D files accepted: STEP, IGES, PDF, STL, native CAD)
  • Expected annual volume and order release size
  • Material requirements (or open to material recommendation)
  • Tolerance and quality requirements (PPAP / FAI scope if known)
  • Target program timeline
  • Target industry / end application

Submit specifications, and our team will coordinate engineering review and response.

Talk to an Expertfor technical conversations before RFQ

Use this path when you need engineering input before formalizing an RFQ.

Use this path for:

  • Design for Manufacturability (DFM) review and material selection
  • Tonnage and platen-size capability questions (UPM runs 150–2,000 tons)
  • Turnkey scope discussion (paint, silk-screen, assembly, PCB integration, kitting)
  • PPAP, First Article Inspection, or IATF 16949 documentation questions
  • Reshoring evaluation and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) modeling

What Happens After You Submit

  1. Your inquiry is routed to the Account Manager who would own your program.
  2. UPM responds within one business day — email reply or live phone follow-up.
  3. For RFQs, engineering reviews drawings and confirms DFM scope before quoting. Budgetary quotes typically return within 3 business days when proper CAD files are provided.
  4. For technical inquiries, you speak directly with engineering or program leadership — not a sales gatekeeper.

Who UPM Is Built For

UPM is built for hard-tooled production programs — 500 pieces per release through annual volumes in the millions — typically for OEMs in automotive and specialty vehicles, electronics, medical and laboratory equipment, and complex reusable packaging. UPM also supports consumer goods, hardware, and other industries where the program profile fits UPM’s capabilities.

Have a program outside UPM’s core industries? **If the technical profile fits — large-tonnage molding, integrated turnkey scope, or complex assembly — tell us about it.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the fastest way to get a quote from UPM?

    Submit an RFQ through the form on this page or email sales@upminc.com with your part description, expected annual volume, and drawings (STEP, IGES, PDF, STL, or native CAD). UPM responds within one business day. Budgetary quotes typically return within 3 business days when proper CAD files are provided. For active RFQs, you can also call 1-888-893-1587 during business hours.

  • Where is UPM located?

    UPM operates one ~130,000 sq ft facility on 9 acres at 13245 Los Angeles St., Baldwin Park, CA 91706 — approximately 20 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. All molding, finishing, assembly, kitting, and packaging occur in-house at this single location.

  • What information should I include in an RFQ?

    At minimum: part description, expected annual volume, order release size, and 2D/3D drawings. Helpful additions: material requirements, tolerance and quality documentation needs (PPAP, FAI), target timeline, and target industry. UPM accepts STEP, IGES, PDF, STL, and native CAD files.

  • Who reviews my inquiry?

    Inquiries route to the Account Manager who would own your program through production. At UPM, the Account Manager and Program Manager are the same person — the contact who quotes the program owns it through tooling, PPAP, production launch, and ongoing supply.

  • What are UPM’s business hours?

    Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific Time. UPM’s standard is a 24-hour email reply and a live phone answer during business hours across sales, engineering, and the production floor.

Clarity begins with the right discussion.
