It’s hard to believe but it’s been over four years since our last open house. After the first one in February of 1999 we planned on having one about every two years. Obviously that didn’t happen, but we are going to have another open house in May.

Our objective is to show existing customers how we’ve grown, familiarize them with our new capabilities and demonstrate how we process jobs. At the same time we can show some of our newer and/or maturing customers our shop, (in many cases for the first time). Often we work for years with a company without them ever seeing the inside of our facility. It’s always an eye opener for new customers when they get to see just how high tech the inside of a modern machine shop is.

The open house is not just about the customer and us. We also invite many administrators, technical and business teachers from local schools to attend the open house. We feel it’s very important to keep them in the loop, because in reality they can learn from us, as much as we can learn from them. I guess we could say that’s the same relationship we hold with our customers.

But if by chance, you don’t really care about the nuts and bolts of how we get a job from purchase order to shipping; there will be great food available while you visit.

Open houses are not just a good forum for showing off our company. We take the opportunity to focus on where we’d like to be in this industry and during our presentation give you the opportunity to critic us. We’ll probably learn as much about what our customers needs are, as you’ll learn about our capabilities. So, please keep Friday, May 2^nd available and give us the opportunity to present our company at it’s finest.
