renews sales office lease

MARMON/KEYSTONE has renewed the lease of its sales office at

Appleton, Wisconsin for a three year term. Originally established in

Wisconsin, the sales office was relocated to Appleton in 1993.

“Our inside sales group has enjoyed many years in this location

and we anticipate continued growth in the area we serve.” Appleton

customers are in the north and central portions of Wisconsin and

the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

A wholesale distributor of tubular products for over 100 years,

Marmon/Keystone inventories more than 15,000 sizes and grades

of carbon, alloy, stainless and aluminium tubular and bar products.

Service centres and sales offices are located throughout North

America, with corporate headquarters in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Re-engineered business

model

MANCHESTER Tool & Die, Inc has re-engineered its business

model, including machining processes, purchasing procedures

and manufacturing and assembly operations. These changes

have led to reductions in lead times and in cost reductions for the

customer for both machines and tooling.

Machine components have been upgraded, including MTD’s

new programmable HMI (human machine interface) controls,

which are more labour and user-friendly, flexible and include

diagnostics for machine maintenance. Many machine options

that were formerly optional are now standard, creating savings for

MTD that will pass to the customer. The company has also started

purchasing and building components in bulk for stock to lower cost

and reduce lead times. MTD has also invested in several new

machines to help streamline the manufacturing process.
