The future will unfold
according to
‍how we design it

The future is an ambiguous phenomenon. How does one plan for the future without knowing for certain what it'll be? Do you just assume your most educated guess is correct? Do you avoid planning altogether and take things as they come? With so many variables to influence the direction of "the future" we've defined some of the things we want to see in ours.

Being largely a service company, we are dedicated to improving our customers’ experiences; and that will continue going forward. We know, it sounds cliché, but this isn’t some outlandish and ambiguous promise to slowly add technology or alter a process slightly; this is a desire to participate fully in the design, purchasing, and planning processes of our customers. We are already working to understand how to make the lives of everyone with whom we interact more seamless, enjoyable and efficient in whatever way suits the situation’s unique needs.

We want to leave our mark on the world. Again with the ambiguity, we know, but bear with us. Businesses have more influence than they realize. That’s true in manufacturing, consumer goods, retail and beyond. Being a social enterprise and sustaining a profitable business are not mutually exclusive tasks and we want to use our realm of influence to enact positive changes in people’s lives. This might be through the jobs we take on, participating in community development, progressive hiring practices or something we haven't yet explored.

Encouraging innovation through early adoption of technology and allowing ideas to develop from different areas of our company will continue to drive our growth. We’ve proven it many times throughout our history, and we’ll continue to prove it going forward. Our innovation will not be limited to new machine tools but will be pervasive across every department of our company.
