Accrotool Enhances Production Processes
December 10, 2010
Under the leadership of President and COO Buck Helfferich, Accrotool, a full-service contract manufacturer of engineered metal products used in a wide range of applications, has taken several steps to upgrade its manufacturing operations. Though a strategic alliance with M-Tech, a Greensburg, PA-based firm, Accrotool is able to silk-screen images on, or affix decals to, its products, accelerating order fulfillment and streamlining logistics. The company has also added flat-screen television panels throughout the facility so production teams can have real-time access to the status of any job. Accrotool is among the first contract manufacturers to integrate video technology with its production line.
“These developments enhance our agility, communication, product quality and turnaround time,” says William F. Phillips, Sr., Accrotool's chairman and CEO. “Buck's experience and success in technology-based product development puts us in a strong position to continue serving our core markets, and to cultivate opportunities in new sectors.”
“I am pleased to be a part of a company that has a strong track record and is poised for growth,” says Mr. Helfferich, who has 30 years of experience in the field of contract manufacturing.
