Sammi was thoroughly impressed with Acres capability and process control following a tour of the manufacturing facility. During the tour Sammi got to ‘see’ and ‘touch’ products at all stages of manufacture. From the prep cell housing Acres CNC tube/ sheet cutting capability, and waterjet cutting capability to the final assembly where some products where being electro-mechanically assembled. Sammi was particularly interested in our powder coating capability and the quality of the final product.
