Did I say unique opportunity?

Are you tired of simply working for someone else and helping them prosper with all of your hard work? Do you have the ability and drive to build something bigger for yourself? Do you have established industry relationships that you can better serve if you're able to call the shots? Do you have an idea for a product line that you’ve wanted to bring to market but investment to do made it difficult or impossible to develop? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions future ownership opportunities may be considered for the right individual as current ownership progresses toward retirement. Succession planning is an important goal to ensure our business can continue to serve the industry for years to come. Our company has been in business since 1991 and has a reputation for providing high quality products and services that exceed expectations. We have highly-skilled machinists who take great pride in their work and are second to none. It’s no secret this industry has a high barrier to entry due to the significant capital investment needed to get a shop off the ground. Join an established company that’s already made the investment and work yourself into the fold for a larger piece of the pie. You must have the skills, ability and ambition to bring value to the business in order to be considered.
