Our commitment

  • We will quote our lowest price from the beginning.
  • We will not double charge for Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE).
  • We will proactively provide cost reductions.
  • If we misquote something, we will try to meet the price point twice. If we are unable, we will provide an unsolicited quote for the future so our customer can plan ahead.

Awards and media

Cobalt was awarded best-in-Washington State honors by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Cobalt beat out all retail, service and other manufacturing businesses to win this honor. The company received the award against a backdrop of historical air and space vehicles at Seattle’s Museum of Flight. After winning Washington State, the company competed for a national award and was ranked against companies from all over the U.S. for all aspects of our business operations. Award coverage was extensive however the local Everett Herald produced one of the best articles.
