Every reputable company has an absolute promise to their customers that they guarantee, that sets them apart from the competition. Ours is to produce complex, mission-critical parts that meet AS9100 and ISO 9001 standards, on time, every time. So, when we saw orders go up a full 48% over the past three years, we knew that if we didn’t make a few necessary investments in our company right away, we weren’t going to be able to keep up with the demand, or our on-time delivery promise.
Facility Expansion
As orders for complex aerospace and defense parts nearly doubled, it became apparent to us that we needed room to grow. The first thing we did was to expand our company-owned shop an additional 3,000 feet to 18,000 square feet.
Now that we had some much-needed elbow room, we were ready for our next significant investment.
New Equipment
With the additional space in our shop, we were able to order two new vertical mills that allowed us an almost limitless range of precise, consistent, and, of course, high-quality shapes we can produce, even “Beyond the Blueprint.” More machines for us mean more output for you.
Training
High-quality precision parts begin with highly skilled operators. After we invested in new mills, we invested in our staff’s bi-weekly training so they could gain as much knowledge of the new technology, capabilities, and methods of these machines as possible.
Quality
Quality assurance is at the forefront of every decision and purchase we make, especially when it comes to the Aerospace & Defense industry where there is zero room for failure. As an added layer of consistency and accuracy, our new vertical mills feature computerized quality-control inline testing to produce precise, mission-critical parts, every time.
We made all of these investments in our company to ensure the success of yours.
