SORTING & SEGREGATION
SERVICES.
When suspect parts are mixed into good stock, everything stops.
You can't ship, you can't build, and every hour of uncertainty costs you money and credibility with your customer. You need clean, certified stock separated from the bad — fast, and without pulling your own people off the line.
Phillips Light Industrial has provided third-party sorting and segregation from Middleburg Heights, Ohio since 1995, across Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Kentucky. We staff and run 100% sorts on suspect stock with documented counts, defect rates and disposition, mobilising in Within 24 hours at supported sites. Lines are answered 24/7 on 216.440.6060.

GOOD STOCK BACK,
SUSPECT STOCK OUT.
PLI deploys experienced sorting teams that separate conforming parts from non-conforming ones and give you a documented, accurate count you can act on. We sort at your facility, at your supplier, at your customer's location, or at a PLI center — wherever the problem lives.
The goal is simple: get you back to shipping good product with confidence.
An accurate count you can act on — not an estimate you have to defend.
EVERY PART ACCOUNTED
FOR, EITHER WAY.
100% Sorting & Inspection
Every piece checked to your specification.
Good-From-Suspect Segregation
Separated and quarantined so the two never remix.

Customer-Site & Line-Side Sorting
On their floor or beside your line, as the situation needs.

WE GO WHERE
THE STOCK SITS.
At Your Facility
Teams on your floor, integrated with your line.
At Your Supplier

At Your Customer
Protect the relationship on-site.
At a PLI Center
When material needs to be handled off-site.
A SORT IS ONLY AS
GOOD AS ITS COUNT.
Anyone can separate two piles. What your customer wants is the number — how many were checked, how many failed, and what happened to them.
We staff to the volume in front of us and scale the crew up or down as it changes, so the sort finishes on your timeline rather than ours.
Not sure a sort is the right call? Read sort, rework, or scrap? — how to work the disposition decision when a quality spill lands.

WHAT SORTING BUYERS ASK
BEFORE THEY CALL.
How fast can PLI start a sort?
Support can often be coordinated within 24 hours, depending on the scope of the project, the location and crew availability.
Can you sort at our supplier's site?
Yes, at your facility, your supplier, your customer's location, or a PLI center.
Do we get documentation?
Yes, counts, defect rates, and disposition in a usable reporting format.
What's the difference between sorting and containment?
Sorting separates good product from suspect; containment protects your customer while the issue is resolved. Many projects use both.
What industries do you work in?
Automotive, appliance, industrial, and consumer products, among others.
