According to the company’s president, Scott Baxter, “Our company’s high facility standards and an ongoing commitment to continuous improvement provide clean, low particulate manufacturing environments and excellent GMP practices, which allow us to service many industries including consumer, industrial and medical goods markets,” commented Baxter. “This is an exciting time for us as we expand our capabilities with in-house prototyping capabilities and we want to share it with our prospective customers. We are providing a one-time free 3D prototype offer for companies to leverage this opportunity with our new prototype capabilities.” 

The company’s recent investment in additional in-house prototyping includes a Stratasys Fortus 400mc 3D printer utilizing additive manufacturing techniques. A new Tormach Personal CNC 1100 milling machine was also purchased to provide small-run production, prototyping and prototype tool fabrication. The CNC machine capabilities also provide for degating operations, variations in tooling for short production and test runs, as well as unique or more complex secondary operations in production and assembly runs. 

“Our new in-house capabilities allow us to respond quickly, while closely monitoring quality and consistency” said Baxter. ” The company’s ongoing commitment to growth also includes the purchase of four new electric presses, ranging from 150 to 400 ton capacity.”

The company has also expanded their engineering talent with the addition of Greg Showers, the company’s new director of engineering and quality. Showers brings more than 27 years of experience in the injection molding industry including more than two decades in the packaging industry, most recently as the engineering manager at Zeller, a global leader in caps and closures.
