“Our customers are not going to wait for us to develop the capabilities. We’ve got to be ready when they have opportunities to make a part and parlay that into an entire subassembly.”

“A lot of the parts we have bounced around the world and ended up landing here and stay here because we’ve got the know-how to get it done. With the right vendor base and the right machine capabilities now, that will continue to happen.”

"(Our Makino MAG3 cell) has differentiated us in the (aerospace) industry going from a supplier that produces a consistent size part to now capability that far exceeds that. The fact that we have pallets in place and automation there allows us to maximize our run time, and maximize our lights-out approach so that when operators leave for the night, the product is continuing to run."

"We strive to be a world-class facility. We want to not only deliver on time with good quality, but we also intend to be world-class through our processes and the way we cut aerospace structural parts. In order to do that, we obviously need to have world-class equipment to support that dream."
