The team knows that products are only as good as the staff making them. Allied invests heavily in in-house training in order to maintain high quality levels across the organization, all the while working toward getting the precision sheet metal trade certified at a technical school to grow the industry in the future. The company promotes from within whenever possible, pays above-average salaries with generous overtime policies, and is thinking outside the box to increase employee engagement while promoting even more of a work-life balance.
“We try to show our people how much we value them and what they do for us, because without them nothing gets made,” he says.
The company is also looking at upgrading equipment and moving toward integrating more automation into its processes. Precision sheet metal work takes a toll on the body and automating will transition staff to positions of material handling and front-office support while the equipment does the heavy lifting.
As technology advances the industry, Allied has kept pace by exploring the latest equipment to see how it can add value for clients. The team has also looked online to stimulate growth, and the corporate rebrand in 2020 introduced a new powerful website that is driving traffic to Allied Metal Ltd and accounting for about 20 per cent of its new work. Brooks has also introduced a customer resource management tool that has resulted in significant business for the company.
“We want to really stay on the forefront of technology and customer service. The CRM we brought in was fantastic and has definitely taken us a step farther in the right direction,” he says.
That direction will lead Allied Metal Ltd to establish itself as the go-to precision sheet metal fabricators in the region, growing the business as it supports customers as they grow theirs. Even after 55 years in business, the management team continues to innovate and evolve the company with an eye to the future as it strives to becomes North America’s industry leader in precision sheet metal fabrication.
