Meadville, PA - January 2004

Tech's tooling and plastics operations received a "facelift" over the holiday break as part of the continued effort to capitalize on the benefits of Lean production principals.

Both Tech Tool & Mold, Inc. and Tech Molded Plastics facilities received new coats of paint and a thorough cleaning. "Investment in a spotless production operation provides for more than clean working conditions. It provides a clear focus on quality for our customers," said Director of Marketing, Mark Hanaway.

Besides providing for optimum working conditions, investing in a facility that shines also provides visual clues for maximizing equipment performance. Machine maintenance, part control, raw material handling and auxiliary equipment can be easily monitored through visual standards set by an environment that shines.
