President, Craig D. Howard, stated “this award acknowledges that our business model has allowed sustained rapid growth. We are able to hire and apply highly qualified engineering resources to design and implement customized system platforms where 80% of the costs are purchased components and only 20% is assembly labor. This allows the very fast production ramp-ups, low MTBFs, and MTTRs required by the computer, hard drive, and fiber optic industries. By developing long term customer relationships, we have demonstrated Rapid Re-Deployment, (the ability to reconfigure current production systems for new manufacturing requirements, with minimal capital costs, and short lead times), as the future automation paradigm.”
