“People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.” -this version is credited to Mother Teresa Generally speaking good things happen to good people. And I don’t just mean kind people. I mean also people who run their businesses with honesty, fairness, and integrity. People who take care of their customers. These are the businesses that are so often successful.

I get to meet so many incredible people in this industry, and I especially enjoy writing articles on businesses that are making products that go into airplanes, that are used in medical equipment, and that are used to help keep our soldiers safe.

Kim Carpenter Takashi Sato For the most part, the people who I work with are honest, hard working business owners. But, Gene Wirth sadly, there are people out there who lack integrity.We all know people like this, and interestingly, Chris Seay we can often feel that something isn’t right, isn’t good about them. What I have found is that Hugh Taylor people like this who own a business, often end up with a failed business.You just can’t be a bad Kate Carpenter person and expect to be a good business owner. You can’t take advantage of others, whether they are your customers, your suppliers, or your employees, and expect good things to happen. Published bi-monthly to keep precision manuWe have so many new companies that are new advertisers, and it was a great issue for writing articles about machine shops in this region! Please take the time to read about a brand new business (CMAWaterjet, our cover article), a relatively new machine shop (Flex-Pro), about some companies that are decades old (Arizona Sealing Devices and Prototech), and then companies celebrating more than a half century in business (Creedbilt and Anderson Painting)! 3 of the companies featured in this issue just recently certified to ISO/AS9100 standards. Creedbilt shows how a manufacturing facility operating heavy equipment can still go green, helping our environment. I will be anxious to follow their continued growth over the next several years, and to see how they morph themselves to ensure ongoing success.

You will see pictures from several machine tool dealers who hosted Open Houses to thank their customers, and there are more Open Houses planned that are announced in this issue.

Until next issue, enjoy Spring and God Bless our Troops! And if you like the issue, feel free to ‘Like Us” on Facebook www.facebook.com/A2ZMetalworker

Automation is the solution.

The DM-1 is a high-speed, lean-style machining center with a compact footprint that allows multiple machines to be placed side-by-side to make the most efficient use of valuable shop floor space. Its high acceleration rates, fast axis speeds, and short tool change times – combined with a 40-taper inline spindle – make the DT-1 an attractive high-productivity machining center.

The DM-1 has a 20” x 16” x 15.5” work cube and a 26” x 15” T-slot table. The 40-taper inline direct-drive spindle turns to 15,000 rpm, and allows high-speed rigid tapping, with up to four times retract speed. The spindle is coupled directly to the motor to reduce heat, increase power transmission, and provide excellent surface finishes. A 15-hp vector drive system provides 46 ft-lb (peak) of cutting torque for milling and boring operations.

The DM-1 provides cutting feedrates to 1200 ipm for high-speed milling, and the machine’s 18+1 side-mount tool changer swaps tools quickly to reduce non-cutting time. High-speed 2400 ipm rapids combine with high acceleration rates to shorten cycle times and increase throughput.

Built in the USA by Haas, the DM-1 Drill/Mill Center is backed by the worldwide network of Haas Factory Outlets – the most extensive system of support and service in the industry.

The global semiconductor industry sold $27.8 billion worth of chips in February, a 6.7 percent increase over the same month last year, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association.

The monthly report showed a dip in sales from January to February, but that is typical for the industry.

February marks the 22nd consecutive month of year-over-year sales growth for the industry.

“Sales of DRAM and analog products were particularly strong, notching double-digit growth over last February, and the Americas market achieved its largest year-to-year sales increase in 12 months,” said John Neuffer, president and CEO of SIA. Arizona benefits from more sales in semiconductors with more than 30,000 workers in the industry, and Phoenix is home to such companies as Intel Corp., Microchip Technology Inc. and ON Semiconductor Corp.

Sales were strongest in the Americas, rising 17.1 percent year over year.They also were up in the Asia Pacific sector, but down in Europe and Japan. Asia Pacific and the Americas are the two largest components of semiconductor sales.

OUR TOOL LIFE’S BEEN EXTENDED “ UP TO 23 PERCENT, WHICH HAS LOWERED TOOL COSTS BY ROUGHLY 15 PERCENT. AND OUR PRODUCTIVITY HAS INCREASED AROUND 25 PERCENT.

For people who make what matters, tool life is critical. Which is why these companies chose Makino. They appreciate how Makino’s comprehensive approach to machine design extends their tool life. But mostly, they’re thrilled with how Makino has helped their cost per part and improved their efficiency and profitability.

CALL: 623-536-2512, FAX: 623-935-4514, EMAIL: ISSThinkBig@gmail.com Elon Musk’s updates to Tesla Model S will calculate range, offer autopilot Speaking on a press call,Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk openly discussed a wide range of improvements to the company’s vehicles, five of which will make the cars safer that the drivers behind the wheel.

Tesla, which has a showroom at Scottsdale Fashion Square, had been looking at Arizona last year to build a manufacturing plant to make batteries for the high-tech cars.Tesla opted for Nevada to build the factory.

So Musks comments are of particular interest to many of the area’s drivers.

Musk covered the following points on the call: Range assurance: A software update will soon let the Model S calculate how much charge is still left in the battery, and how close you are to the nearest charge, letting you know if you’re at risk of straying to far from electrical replenishment.

Smart trip planning:The shortest distance between two points isn’t always a straight line, especially where limited fuel is concerned.This update will chart your journey relative to available charging stations.

Automatic emergency braking: This collision avoidance assistant automatically engages that emergency brake to keep you from rolling down a hill long after you departed the vehicle.

blind spot as it changes relative to the speed of the Model S. If you try to merge into a dangerous situation, a robotic arm smacks you over the head. Actually, the steering wheel just vibrates and a digital bell chimes.

Autopilot: Musk first teased us with the autopilot feature last year in the P85D. Now he says the feature will be activated in the Model S within three months for highway driving, but that it has already been successfully tested for trips between San Francisco and Seattle.

If you ask most Americans they’ll tell you they’re “excellent” drivers, according to a recent Allstate survey. Yet we keep getting lost, running out of gas, forgetting to put on our emergency brake, and backing into things in our blind spot. At least for now.

have always been partial to the Omax waterjet. It is the builder of choice that we have used in all of our years of waterjet cutting.” He continued, “Perhaps one of its most valuable features is its user interface -- it is just so intuitive.”

PROUDLY INTRODUCING

CMA WATERJET TO ARIZONA! CMA Waterjet is proud to announce its Grand Opening, which will take place this month, onWednesday, May 13th.

Though the company isn’t yet officially open for business, it has been water-jetting parts for several customers since early March. And it is proud to announce that it was the first company in Arizona to purchase the Omax 80X with an A-Jet. Mona Arredondo is the owner of CMAWaterjet, a woman-owned, minority-owned business. Mona’s family members, Enrique, Thomas and Melissa Sanchez, and nephew Aaron Herrera, are all integral members of the team. Mona says, “Between Enrique, Thomas, and Aaron, our company has more than 35 years of combined waterjet cutting experience.”

CMA Waterjet is so named for Mona’s mother, Cordillia Mary Arredondo, who sadly lost her battle with cancer on June 18th of 2014. Enrique says, “Cordillia was a superior business woman, and she was also an amazing person, always trustworthy and loyal.” He continued, “Though Cordillia was only 62 when she passed away, she lived her life building businesses, from a medical laboratory to a waterjet company that she was part owner of.” Mona continued, “Cordillia (called Cokie for short), wanted nothing more than to create a legacy that her grandchildren could inherit and build on.”

CMA Waterjet is a business that will give Cokie’s grandchildren a solid business foundation to expand upon, and for the family members, it will be a tribute to a great woman. Melissa says, “Cokie listened with a caring ear, catered with a warm heart, and had a way of making you feel special and important as she believed that each individual is unique. We look forward to making her dreams come true by beginning where she left off. We plan to keep her spirit alive by remembering her ways and always striving to follow her examples.”

Like Cokie, Mona believes that good things can just happen.

“Everything is falling right into place”, she says. “We found the perfect building for our new business, and while we weren’t aware of all of Cokie’s financial assets, they were just what we needed to open the business.

Cokie made all of this possible.”

After Mona and the team secured a centrally located (Phoenix) 13,000 square foot facility to house their new business, their first major capital purchase was an Omax waterjet. Thomas says, “We A2Z METALWORKER SW

For CMA Waterjet’s first machine tool purchase, the family members all wanted a waterjet that exceeded the capabilities of many other waterjets in the valley. Enrique says, “We bought the best waterjet from Omax, and we added options that make this machine top-of-the-line.”

Thomas added, “With our Omax 80X with an A-Jet (Articulated Cutting Head), we have a large bed for cutting; our envelope is 80” x 165”. While the waterjet came standard enabled to cut metal 6” in depth, with the A-Jet and some modifications, we are able to cut metal up to 10” in depth.”

The patent-pending A-Jet® is a complete software-controlled, multi-axis accessory that features the flexibility to automaticallycompensate for taper, as well as cut severe angles up to 60° off vertical. The A-Jet cuts countersunk holes and precision shapes with beveled edges at angles specified by the user. The accessory supplies additional axes of motion, allowing the operator to fabricate and shape metal edges for weld preparation.The dynamic A-Jet is capable of a high level of positioning accuracy, resulting in parts that need no secondary finishing.

Enrique says, “The OMAX 80X JetMachining Center is a bridge-style waterjet machine

that has a durable, factory-aligned OMAX MAXJET®5i Nozzle and a Bulk Abrasive Delivery System.” He continued, “ It also features Intelli-TRAX®, the high-precision linear drive technology designed exclusively for the abrasive waterjet environment. Our OMAX 80X is ideal for cutting larger or multiple part projects, and we can waterjet precision parts with tolerances of +/- .005.”

Melissa says, “We believe that preparedness meets opportunity.Though we are a brand new company, we are a very experienced new company.” She added, “Our website is up and running, our machine is top of the line, and up and running, and we have team members who are certified to the Omax 80X with an A-Jet.” In fact,Thomas and Aaron attended the weeklong Omax training in Kent, WA early on, and just last month Enrique and Melissa attended the training for certification.The company members all don ‘CMA Waterjet’ shirts, and hats and other marketing give-away items are all available for their customers. Enrique says, “We’ve done startups before, and we are opening for business fully capable of supporting our customers.”

From his previous employers,Thomas is known for his superior customer service skills. He says, “We are hosting our first open house in May, and it will not only be a grand opening, a tribute to Cokie (it is on her birthday), but it will also be a ‘Customer Appreciation” Day. We want to offer customer service differentiation for CMA Customers, and that includes delivery services, exceptional turnaround, low prices, and a friendly staff.” Enrique added, “We are open on evenings and weekends by appointment, and we guarantee we’ll do whatever we have to do to exceed our customers’ expectations.”

The CMAWaterjet team is extremely happy with Arizona CNC, the local distributor of Omax waterjets. Enrique says, “Jeff Currie, our Arizona CNC Sales Engineer, is very professional and knowledgeable about the industry.” He continued, “Our Omax technician, Octavio, who did the installation and continues to support us, is outstanding.” One of the

team members broke a nozzle (and the Omax is designed to allow the nozzle to break rather than crashing the head), and Jeff Currie drove over to Arizona CNC with a CMA Waterjet team member to get them 3 new nozzles. The CMA Waterjet team all agree that the service and knowledge of the Omax and the Arizona CNC team is outstanding.

CMA Waterjet invites you to attend their grand opening on Wednesday, May 13th. Thomas says, “For our early visitors, bring a print for a standard part to the Open House, and we will have it waterjet cut and ready on Friday.”

Hear From CMA Waterjet’s Customers “I’ve been working with Thomas for many years now, and he and his family just offer the best customer service. When I heard they were opening a new shop, I brought my work there immediately. They are super responsive, extremely cost competitive, they make great parts, and they are just amazing to work with!” Supervisor, Custom Architectural Design Company “Enrique and his family have been supporting my business for about 7 years now.

Mountain and West regions were not among the top U.S. metros for corporate relocation and expansion deals in 2014.

With 49 deals, San Francisco trailed Phoenix. Salt Lake and Denver tied with 35 each. When tallying the top five metros in both regions, the 310 projects from the 10 markets still couldn’t top Chicago’s 385 deals.

This means that once a site selection consultant or company decides to head west, Phoenix is a prime market. But West and Mountain markets seem to have fewer seats at the table when it comes to competing for jobs.

Part of that is the large number of direct foreign investment companies looking at U.S. expansions and acquisitions.

Former Japanese ambassador to the U.S. Ichiro Fujisaki said that many companies in his country tend to look toward the East and West Coasts, and have not really explored inland opportunities.

“Personal connections and meetings are far more important than any brochure you can send,” he said. “It is very important for Arizona leaders to meet with businesses in Asia they want to see invest in the U.S.” Three major Japanese direct foreign investments were negotiated in 2014: the Iris USA facility in Surprise and Special Devices Inc. in Mesa.

What do small manufacturers want: technical assistance or regulatory relief?

Small manufacturers were in the spotlight last month, as President Barack Obama traveled to Cleveland to announce new government initiatives to help them.

Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., three executives at small manufacturers told Congress that they’re more concerned about what government is doing to them — imposing a heavy regulatory burden — than about what government can do for them.

Let’s start with Obama’s announcements.

During a visit to a Manufacturing Extension Partnership affiliate at Cleveland State University, the president will unveil a new White House Supply Chain Innovation Initiative, which is aimed at helping small manufacturers adopt new technologies such as 3-D printing.

He also will announce that nonprofit organizations in 12 states can compete for $158 million in federal funds to strengthen MEP centers in their states, theWhite House.

MEP’s network of 60 centers around the country help small manufacturers improve their production processes. The House Republican budget proposal, the White House noted, would eliminate federal funding for the MEP program.

Plus, Obama will announce his administration’s ninth competition for a National Network for Manufacturing Innovation Institute, this one focusing on new fibers and textiles technologies. The federal government will invest $75 million, matched by $75 million in private-sector funding.

There are more than 230,000 small manufacturers in the U.S., and they employ 42 percent of all manufacturing workers in America. The White House points out they often lag larger manufacturers when it comes to adopting new technologies, and therefore could use some help from Uncle Sam. But the small manufacturers who testified at a House Small Business Committee hearing said the best thing the government could

do for them is to stop imposing so many regulatory requirements.

Each of the manufacturers cited specific regulations that are causing major problems for their business: Costly labels for thousands of tiny sample bottles The Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s new rules for labeling and classification of hazardous chemicals has cost Arylessence, a Marietta, Ga.based fragrance and flavor company more than $500,000 and “untold labor hours” to implement, said Executive Vice President Cynthia Reichard. Her company had already provided information on the chemicals in its products, but the regulation required more complex labeling, which required the purchase of new computers and printers.

Plus OSHA — unlike Canada and the European Union — did not provide an exemption for small bottles. Arlyessence sends out 10,000 samples a year to potential customers, and the new regulation requires unique safety data sheets and labels for each one, Reichard said.

Dreamliners flying out the door at 10 a month, Boeing reports

Boeing aircraft deliveries rose 14 percent in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same period last year, driven mostly by increases in 787 and 737 production.

The company delivered 184 jets in the first quarter —— 121 of those the high-volume 737, Boeing’s smallest model.

What the rising production rates mean for the Puget Sound region is continued jobs at Boeing and its suppliers, especially for the legacy aircraft, such the 737, that are primarily made of aluminum.

A particular bright spot was the delivery of 30 787 Dreamliners, which puts Boeing exactly where it wants to be, pumping out 10 a month of the carbon composite jets. That compares to an average of six a month in the first quarter of 2014.

Within the Dreamliner segment, a significant development this year is the increasing volume of 787-9s, the newer, middle-sized version.

Ten of the 30 Dreamliners delivered were those 787-9s, which have been coming off the line far more smoothly than the smaller 787-8 did in the early years.

So far, Boeing has delivered more than half of the 787-8s ordered, compared to fewer than 5 percent of the newer 787-9s, wrote Uresh Seth, who produces the widely read website All Things 787.

“The more of these airplanes (787-9s) that are delivered the better Boeing’s financial results will look,” Seth wrote.

Down on the bottom end of its backlog, Boeing delivered four 747s and five 767s in the first quarter.

The twin-engine 767s are all freighters, and all will be delivered to FedEX. Three of the 747s are passenger versions destined for Lufthansa, which has supported the model, while the fourth is a Cargolux freighter.

While the backlog of freighters for these two models is relatively small, at 38 for the 767 and 14 for the 747, orders might be helped by the 8.2 percent increase in air cargo volumes so far this year, just reported by CargoFacts.

Announces AS9120A / ISO 9001:2008 Certification With The Help of Consultant BMSC For the past 26+ years, Arizona Sealing Devices, Inc. has sold almost exclusively to the aerospace and defense industry. Their products are so diversified, including but not limited to Military and Standard O-Rings, Gaskets, Sheeting, Back Up Rings, Quad Rings, Oil Seals, Clamps, Cord Stock, Caps, Plugs, and Custom Molded Parts. Kelly Felix-Kringen, long-term employee of the company says, “Basically we sell any sealing device a customer requests, including custom parts.” The company sources their products to more than 30 different manufacturers, almost all here in the United States.

Kelly Felix-Kringen, Teresa Ordaz, Carrie Barno, Maribel Sandoval

Owner Liisa Hamelin Liisa Hamelin has worked for the company for many years, eventually becoming president of the company, and then 3 and half years ago, Liisa purchased the company.

Not only is the company a bona fide woman-owned business, a team of women additionally staffs it.

Indeed, the business has grown under Liisa’s ownership, by nearly double-digit growth year over year. The company recently upgraded its computer systems, and it did something else -- it certified to AS9120A / ISO 9001:2008 (the Certifications for distributors).

Liisa and Kelly both say that their customers were not requesting this from Arizona Sealing Devices. Liisa says, “They weren’t yet, but it was entirely feasible this would happen in the near future.” She continued, “In addition to this, we knew that the certifications would take us to the next level and enable us to grow our business with our current Tier 1 customers as well as with new customers.”

Carrie Barno, Quality Manager, added, “We are required by defense contractors to fill out paperwork on an annual (and in some cases semi-annual) basis that was often up to 40 pages in length. This was time consuming, and we knew that the certifications would cut down on this paperwork.”

Liisa is a very financially prudent businesswoman, Kelly says, “So when she planned the ISO/ AS9100 certification, she did her research.”

Liisa says, “Many of the AS9120A / ISO 9001:2008 consultants were out of state, and by virtue of their location and the travel that would be required, they were costly.” She continued, “Bretta Kelly, owner of BMSC, came highly recommended, and she was the best fit for us.”

Liisa interviewed Bretta via phone. “I was very impressed with her knowledge of what is required for AS9120A / ISO 9001:2008 certification and the incredible number of companies in Arizona that have utilized her services to attain certification.” She continued, “Her pricing was very competitive, and I appreciated that she too is a woman owned company.”

“We admit that the thought of certifying to AS9120A / ISO 9001:2008 was very overwhelming, but after speaking with Bretta and her colleague Debbie Hart, they assured us that it would not be difficult.” She continued, “They prepared us so well that we had 0 findings on our A2Z METALWORKER SW

Bretta Kelly, Debbie Hart audit. The audit was 1.5 days long, and after the first day, we just knew we would pass.We all agree that the BMSC team is expert at the certification process, and in addition, they were really enjoyable to work with.”

Arizona Sealing Devices, Inc. passed their certification in February, and already they say that it is resulting in substantially less paperwork.

Instead of 40 pages per contract to fill out, they fill out the first page and then attach a copy of our certification.

To learn more about how BMSC can help you to successfully certify to AS9120A / ISO 9001:2008 (and do so relatively painlessly), call them at 602.445.9400 or visit BusinessMSC.com Liisa says, “We can provide such a variety of products (we’ve even shipped light bulbs!) to government and aerospace entities, and now we can do it as an AS9120A / ISO 9001:2008 certified woman-owned company.

Global Crises And Economic Growth Drive Rising U.S. Weapons Sales In a race to sell the world its weapons, especially in new markets like Africa, Russia isn’t far behind the U.S., and China is surging.

By Terrence Guay One of the features of the 21st century, particularly since the 2008 financial crisis, has been the increasing number of rankings in which the United States is no longer number one. Title of top arms exporter, however, is not one of them—at least not yet—with the U.S. maintaining its number one spot almost every year since the Cold War ended.

At last month’s International Defense Exhibition in Abu Dhabi, around 1,200 companies from 56 countries showcased their hardware, trying to sell their high-resolution surveillance satellites, Reaper drones and Kalashnikov rifles to the government officials and military brass in attendance. Plenty of American arms makers were on hand in hopes of maintaining their global dominance.

The U.S. controlled 31% of the global market for weapons exports from 2010 to 2014, up from 29% from 2005 to 2009, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the world’s best-known collector of defense spending and weapons trade statistics. Russia came a close second with 27%, a significant increase A2Z METALWORKER SW

•

38 • May/June 2015

from 22% in the prior period, followed by China, Germany, and France each with a 5% share of the arms market.

The fast-rising wealth of emerging markets like India and countries in Africa that are gobbling up a growing share of weapons is rapidly changing the arms market, particularly as global instability seems to grow year after year. The surge in conflicts involving non-state actors in the Middle East and Africa is also forcing more countries to stock up, creating more demand for tanks, advanced weapons systems, and especially light arms.

And regional rivalries between India and its neighbors Pakistan and China, as well as Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states with Iran, continue to simmer.

Government coffers, filled with earnings from oil, manufactured goods, and other exports, can readily be tapped to purchase weapons from abroad, even if spending on education, health, and infrastructure might provide greater long-term benefits.The U.S. Congressional Research Service estimates that global arms transfers rose from about $51 billion in 2004 to $85 billion in 2011, totaling more than $500 billion over the eight-year period.

At the moment, the global defense industry remains an area of US corporate dominance. Six American companies placed among the top eight global firms, based on defense-related revenues. Lockheed Martin topped the list with $35 billion in arms sales, with Boeing in second place ($31 billion). Raytheon ($22 billion), Northrop Grumman ($20 billion), and General Dynamics ($19 billion) ranked fourth through sixth, while United Technologies ($12 billion) took eighth.

“Six American companies sell the world most of its weapons.”

Obviously, a large portion of the revenues generated by these firms comes from the U.S. Department of Defense. But exports are essential, since it allows the companies to produce larger quantities of fighter planes, tanks, and other weapons systems, thereby driving down the per unit cost, which ultimately benefits the Pentagon and American taxpayers.

So while arms exports help achieve national security and foreign policy goals, they provide significant economic benefits as well, particularly for the workers and communities where production is located.

Who’s Buying Buyers in Asia and Oceania snared the most U.S. weapons, or 48%, while recipients in the Middle East purchased 32%. Another 11% went to Europe. Meanwhile, Russia’s biggest buyers were India, China, and Algeria, which consumed 60% of its arms exports. Overall, it sold arms to 56 countries and the rebels it backs in Ukraine, according to SIPRI. As countries in Asia and Africa get richer, larger sums are being spent on defense, particularly weapons imported from the world’s largest producers.

Africa, which has experienced some of the world’s most impressive economic growth over the past decade, saw arms imports increase 45% over the past five years. Part of this is due to windfall revenues earned by oil-producing countries, while inter-state rivalries between Algeria and Morocco and intra-state conflicts in Nigeria and Cameroon drive additional demand.

China, whose economy recently surpassed that of the U.S. on a purchasing power parity basis, has moved into third place in weapons exports for the first time, signifying the country’s growing importance in international affairs. It also shows off China’s rapidly rising defense budget, which concerns many of its neighbors, as well as the US. In response to cuts in U.S. defense budgets in the years following the Iraq and Afghanistan draw-downs, most defense firms have diversified their sales to more non-defense applications, or to other countries by way of exports. These trends have made competition for Pentagon weapons contracts even more intense, since fewer and higher-priced items are being acquired.

But this appears to be shifting in light of heightened levels of global insecurity from the likes of terrorist groups, provocations by Russia, rivalries in Asia, and nuclear ambitions in Iran and North Korea. In recent weeks, Congress has called for increases in defense spending.

And other countries are using their growing economic power to build up their military power as well so they can better protect their interests and increase their regional and global influence.

At the end of the day, the main winners of global insecurity are likely to be defense companies.

Your ISO 9001 : 2008 Certified Paint and Powder Coating Choice For Quality and OnTIme Delivery void.” She continued, “We found the precision manufacturing industry, and began soliciting and performing painting services for various machine shops and steel fabricators in the Tucson and Phoenix areas.” Janet valued this new set of customers because of their sincere appreciation for the professionalism and high standard of quality that Anderson Painting Co. was renowned for.

Have you ever been delayed delivering your machined parts because special processes, including painting and powder coating, are taking too long?

Well, today you have a solution….Anderson Painting and Powder Coating Co. is an ISO9001: 2008 certified,Woman-owned business that has established a solid reputation for superior quality and exceptional service for more than 5 decades.

Patrick Anderson founded Anderson Painting Co. in 1963 in his back yard. In the beginning, the company serviced the construction industry as a Commercial, Industrial, and Residential Painting Contractor. During this time,Anderson Painting Co. secured a time and material maintenance contract with one of its major customers, IBM. While making the rounds at the job site one day, Patrick noticed the scrapping of computer panel covers that had been recovered from outdated

computers whose leases had expired.

Born during the Great Depression, and having fought in the war on Iwo Jima duringWorldWar II, Patrick was not a stranger to living through hard times and this waste of resources, in the form of scrapped metal, seemed frivolous to him. At his insistence, he convinced upper level management at IBM to allow him to “recondition” a sampling of the covers to demonstrate how they could be restored to an ETN or “equivalent to new” condition, and at the same time, to avail to them the cost savings that IBM could realize by adopting this operation.

For the next 17 years, Anderson Painting Co. served as a single source vendor for IBM, as it reconditioned panel covers for thirteen different models of computers, shipping two 40 foot semis a day of completed parts. But this lucrative venture ended in 1988 when the decision was made to close the IBM plant inTucson, resulting in the termination of the “IBM Recon Operation”.

Patrick’s daughter, Janet, began working for her father while attending the University ofArizona, where she majored in Chemistry. Janet says, “When IBM closed their plant, it forced us to look for additional industries in need of our services to fill the

A2Z METALWORKER SW

“In 2003”, Janet says, “One of our customers approached us about expanding our business to include powder coating.” The facility that Anderson Painting Co. had occupied for the past 38 years wasn’t large enough for this new line of business, so Janet and Patrick set about looking for a new and much larger facility to accommodate the growth that they were planning for. Today, the company still resides in this 20,000 square foot facility, located at 6210 S. Country Club Road,Tucson, AZ. Janet says that powder coating currently comprises more than 60% of their sales volume, and the management team believes that not only was it an excellent investment, but a great addition to the company.

“We’re just sorry we didn’t do it sooner”, she says.

With over 52 years in the coatings industry, Anderson Painting and Powder Coating Co. (it had to change its name to reflect its capabilities) has served both domestic and international customers in a wide array of industries including, astronomy, aerospace, defense, medical, optics, and technology, to name just a few. They welcome anyone with 1 product or thousands to come to them for their powder coating and painting needs. Janet says that the diversity of the industries that Anderson Painting and Powder Coating Co. supports has helped sustain and shield their business from any downturns due to adverse economic conditions.

In late 2013, Janet toured an aerospace company in Tucson during a business networking event.

“When I went on the tour”, Janet says, “I saw a number of parts that we had painted and/or powder coated.” She continued, “We weren’t performing the work directly for the company, but rather we were sourced by the machine shops

who were manufacturing the parts.”When Janet told this to the employee who was conducting the tour, he told her he wanted to learn more about her company. “But”, Janet says, “When he asked if we were ISO9001: 2008 certified, and I told him that we weren’t, he told me that this type of certification was a prerequisite for doing business with his company.”

When Janet and the Anderson Painting and Powder Coating Co. management team began planning their goals for 2014, certifying to ISO 9001: 2008 was at the top of their list. Thus, Ed Hyland, General Manager (and admittedly Janet’s right hand man), and Janet began the process of planning for certification.

Janet says, “We started out by asking several of our machine shop customers for referrals or any insight they might have regarding an ISO consulting firm.We even asked some of the larger Aerospace manufacturers that we do business with for their recommendations, and there was one consistent response – Walter Tighe, owner of Sustaining Edge Solutions.”

Ed says, “We brought Walter in for an interview in April of last year. Janet and I were so impressed with his expertise and confident demeanor, that we hired him immediately.”

Janet and Ed agree that, at first, they were concerned that Sustaining Edge regularly supported machine shops in the certification process, but could they help a company that did special processes? “After the interview with Walter, we felt very comfortable with our choice”, Janet said.

Because Anderson Painting and Powder Coating Co. is a small business who does not possess the necessary resources to dedicate one individual to the task of preparing for the ISO 9001:2008 audit, they selected Sustaining Edge Solution’s ‘Turnkey Package’, the most comprehensive package the consulting firm offers.

Walter says, “From day 1, both Janet and Ed were 100% involved in the process.” He continued, “And to make the transition for the team as easy as possible, they brought all of the managers and supervisors into some of the meetings, so that everyone would understand the importance of certification.”

The company officially certified with NQA earlier this year. While many companies you meet go through the certification process due to a customer’s requirement, Anderson Painting and Powder Coating Co. came to view

the certification process as an opportunity for continuous improvement. Ed says, “We’ve always had a good reputation for our quality and on-time delivery, but now we utilize very specific performance metrics to monitor and measure these items, and this has resulted in process improvements.” He continued, “If a particular process shows up being deficient in any manner, we know that we have to methodically analyze the root cause of the problem and, subsequently, rectify the situation.” Today, the company formally surveys their customers level of satisfaction, as is required with ISO 9001: 2008, and the results are always ‘A+’.

Janet says, “During one of our first sessions with Walter, he explained that what we were about to undergo wasn’t just about addressing a quality management system – it was about analyzing and improving our business management systems – all of them.” She continued, “ISO certification has given us the ability to take the company to the next level.”

Janet and Ed agree, “Certification, hands down, is paying off for us.” In fact, once their ISO9001:2008 certification became official, they notified all of their existing customers, as well as potential new customers (including Fortune 1000 manufacturers). Ed says, “We are already reaping the benefits of our newfound status in the form of RFQs from companies that, heretofore, would not have considered partnering with Anderson Painting and Powder Coating Co .”

Janet says, “Walter customized our documented system to the unique needs of a special processing house – he didn’t make us fit into a standard premade format.”Anderson Painting and Powder Coating Co. will also retain Walter for the internal audits it will conduct on itself each year.

Today, the company is ISO9001:2008 certified in Chemical Conversion Coatings, Abrasive Blasting, Painting, and Powder Coating Services.

Company CEO Tory Bruno says the Vulcan’s per-unit cost will fall under $100 million (configurations will vary between 4 and 5-meter versions). Cost for the Vulcan Heavy, which will rely on the largest of the rockets, new solid-rocket boosters and be married with a new upper stage, will be under $200 million, says George Sowers, vice president of advanced programs at ULA.The company’s current Atlas V 401 costs about $164 million (under the Air Force’s 36-core bulk buy) and a Delta IV Heavy is a staggering $400 million.

United Launch Alliance intends to incorporate a reusable main engine and re-ignitable upper stage in its newly dubbed Vulcan rocket, which was unveiled here April 13 on the eve of the 15th Space Symposium.

Bruno, however, says that is going to change. The first missions for Vulcan are likely to be commercial, he says, as the company pursues 2:51 PM a path for certification for national security payloads.

ULA submitted its statement of intent to the U.S. Air Force to get Vulcan certified; a cooperative research and development agreement (CRDA) is expected to be signed in August, says Mike Peller, Vulcan program manger. It will outline the steps ULA must take to achieve certification to launch sensitive military and intelligence payloads.

Bruno says ULA has included the Air Force in its design reviews thus far in hopes of easing the process toward certification. SpaceX Founder and Chief Technology Officer Elon Musk criticized the Air Force for taking too long to certify the Falcon 9 v1.1; the process was slated to be complete at the end of 2014 but was punted to mid 2015. SpaceX developed Falcon 9 commercially, though, without any Air Force insight into the program as it evolved until 2013, when the company signed a CRDA to get its rocket certified.

The statement of intent for Vulcan certification includes paths for the use of both the primary main engine — the Blue Origin BE-4 — and ULA’s backup, the Aerojet Rocketdyne AR-1, Bruno says. The BE-4 is slated to enter the market in 2017, a full two years earlier than the AR-1, slated for 2019. Bruno says he will conduct a downselect between the two within the next 18 months.

In parallel with this work, Bruno is planning to release a request for proposals for a new, more effective solid-rocket strap-on booster design this year. Competitors would be Aerojet Rocketdyne and Orbital ATK.

We thank you for your business! Owners Doug & Jill Cone NASA reveals electric plane with 18 motors NASA has revealed an electric-powered plane that has 18 engines that power individual propellers.

The plane has a 31-foot wingspan, and the engines are powered by lithium iron phosphate batteries. The plane will be able to travel about 200 mph, and it will be able to go as high as 12,000 feet. It will seat four passengers, and it will be able to fly about 450 miles at a time.

The plane is not yet ready for flight, and tests will be done by mounting the wings to a truck that will be driven across a dry lakebed at Edwards Air Force base in California.

The project is called Leading Edge Asynchronous Propeller Technology project (LEAPTech), and it’s been in development since 2014.

U.S. to modify launch capability deal for Lockheed-Boeing venture The U.S. Air Force must modify its annual “launch capability” contract with United Launch Alliance, to level the playing field for new competitors of the joint venture of Lockheed Martin Corp and Boeing Co, senior U.S. Air Force and Pentagon officials told lawmakers.

Air Force Space Command Commander General John Hyten said acquisition officials were working on a plan to phase out the infrastructure support contract in coming years. He cited changing market conditions, including the rise of a rival launch company and prospects for an increase in government satellite launches.

He said the contract was initially put in place to protect “a very fragile industrial base” in the 2000s, when there were few U.S. government satellites being launched due to program delays, and commercial demand failed to materialize as expected.

He said the contract made it impossible to have a fair competition, backing an argument often made by privately held Space Exploration Technologies. The company, also called SpaceX, hopes to be certified by June to compete for some satellite launches now carried out solely by ULA. Dyke Weatherington, acting deputy assistant defense secretary, said some funding for launch infrastructure would likely be folded into the per-launch pricing for future contracts for launch services, instead of being awarded separately.

Gwynne Shotwell, president of SpaceX, told the same subcommittee on March 17 that continuing the annual $1 billion contract to ULA would skew any future competition, and the Air Force would have to adjust its cost estimates to reflect the infrastructure support given to ULA. The Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress, last year said the separate launch capability contract made it difficult for the Pentagon to determine an accurate price for an individual launch by ULA. ULA President Tory Bruno last week said the company was developing a more transparent pricing model for future launches.

The U.S. Air Force said on Monday it was on track to certify SpaceX to launch U.S. military and spy satellites by June, with the final efforts focused on qualifying the second stage engine and structure of its Falcon 9 rocket.

Your ‘Green’ Complete Fabrication Shop; Energy Efficient and They Can Waterjet Your Parts Almost Guaranteed in 24 Hours

Creedbilt established its reputation manufacturing custom truck bodies, flatbeds, hauler bodies, and toolboxes.Their largest customers, coincidentally, are energy companies here in Arizona, SRP and APS. While the business, more than a half century old, is by all means a very successful full service fabrication shop, complete with an Omax waterjet, what is most amazing is that the business just recently completed a conversion of its building to solar. This is an amazing feat considering the amount of power manufacturing facilities such as theirs consume. Perhaps even more incredible is that the Creed boys, Jeremy and Jason, did nearly all of the installation on their own.

Jeremy and Jason Creed are running the business that was started by their grandfather more than a half century ago. Their father was 2nd generation owner of the business, and he has handed over the day-to-day management to Jeremy and Jason.

Jeremy says, “Power is a significant expense for a shop like ours. My father has solar on his residence (he is off the grid), and we decided to check into the cost of making our business more environmentally friendly.”

The Creeds got quotes on turning the >10,000 square foot facility that they own into a solar powered business. Jeremy says that quotes exceeded $120,000. Being extremely mechanically adept, Jeremy and Jason made the decision to do the conversion on their own. Jeremy says, “We hired engineering consultants for specific areas of expertise and electricians for the electrical hook up, but in the end, we built the solar system for $70,000 in materials and ~$20,000 in our labor.”

Today, you can see the solar panels on the Creedbilt facility as you approach.

There are 186 panels that sit on top of the building and 4 inverters inside the facility to support the solar system that provides the capability to produce the power needed in a machine shop with heavy equipment for 10 hours per A2Z METALWORKER SW

day four days a week that the shop is open.

Jeremy says that he expects that the investment will pay for itself in 5 years or less. “Then”, he said, “We will have lower overhead than other fabrication shops that haven’t converted to solar, and our pricing will reflect this difference.”

A few years ago, Creedbilt purchased a waterjet to expand their capabilities. Jeremy says, “We felt that if we added waterjet capability, the business would grow to support more families. Jeremy says, “We were using a plasma machine, and then we started getting requests to cut thicker materials.”

At first, the Creeds were looking for a small waterjet, with a 2’x2’ envelope, but they found out that the smallest waterjet they could purchase was an Omax waterjet, at 55”x55”. They made the decision to purchase the Omax 55100 waterjet, hoping this would bring new work from industries other than truck bodies. Both Jeremy and Jason agree that the choice to purchase a waterjet from Omax was a very good decision. “Their customer service is exceptional -- when I have an issue, they resolve it immediately.”

“We believe we are the first solar powered waterjet in Arizona”, Jason says.

Creedbilt’s Call To Action Jason says, “We are a financially stable company, more than 50 years old, and we can provide all of your fabrication requirements.” Jeremy says, “If you are a business that has a requirement to become more environmentally friendly, or you value a supplier who takes the initiative to do so, come see us.”

Not only is Creedbilt green, but also they can waterjet your parts typically with a 24-hour turnaround. Call them at 623-939-8119. And if you are a new customer and enjoy saving money, there is a coupon on the left page that offers 10% off your first order!

To learn more about the superior line of Omax waterjets, please visit omax.com or call Arizona CNC, Arizona dealer, at 480-615-6353.

Hear From Creedbilt Customers “We are a machine/fab shop. We use Creedbilt for their waterjet cutting capabilities for some of our prototype and small production jobs. They do an outstanding job for us; I can find shops that waterjet the part for a little less money, but the other shops have a 1-2 week turnaround versus Creedbilt’s almost immediate turnaround.” Jeff, Owner “ We manufacture parts for the food processing industry. I draw the part out, email it to Creedbilt, and they waterjet cut it for me. I could not be happier with their service. They are great to work with; their quality is great, as is their turnaround. I don’t shop around to look for other suppliers because I am so happy with them.” Lynn, Owner A2Z METALWORKER SW

to Bombardier, when the world economy has historically grown by an annual rate of 3 percent or more, the aviation industry also typically experiences growth. Expanding passenger traffic usually continues with resilient growth in a difficult but improving economic period, according to both Airbus and Boeing. In fact, Boeing says its 20- year forecast shows strong long-term growth due to world economy (up 3.2 percent), number of airline passengers (4.2 percent), airline traffic (5 percent) and cargo traffic (4.7 percent).

WORLD REGIONS LEADING THE PREDICTED GROWTH All of aircraft market forecasts predict that emerging markets are going to be the source for much of the projected growth occurring during the next two decades. In fact, according to Boeing, emerging markets are likely to lead aircraft travel and expansion. Airbus predicts emerging economies to represent 50 percent of new-aircraft demand over the next 20 years.

For example, it is estimated that two-thirds of the population of emerging countries are going to take one trip per year in 2032.These emerging countries include South Asia, China,

Southeast Asia, Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East.

Airbus predicts Asia-Pacific to lead the world in aircraft traffic by 2032, followed by Europe, North America, the Middle East, Latin America, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Africa. Embraer sees the Middle East and China as drivers, with an annual revenue passenger kilometers (RPK, which is a measurement of worldwide demand for air transport) of 7.1 percent and 6.8 percent, respectively, followed

by Latin America (at 6 percent), CIS and Africa (at 5 percent).

More first-time flyers are likely to come from an expanding middle class, which is predicted to grow from 2.2 billion people today to 5.2 billion, according to Airbus. By 2025 it is projected that emerging markets are going to capture just over half of the world’s gross domestic product (GDP).

Embraer predicts that by 2033 Asia-Pacific and China will be the largest air-travel markets in the world, with a combined 40 percent of total global RPK. North America and Europe are considered mature markets that grow more slowly but still generate 36 percent of world demand. According to

Bombardier, North America is going to have a modest fleet-growth rate due to its more established market, but it is forecasted to receive the greatest number of new businessjet deliveries between 2014 and 2033, with 8,760 units. In contrast, China has a very small business-jet fleet and is now entering a rapid growth phase, according to Bombardier.

For planning purposes, the top three current programs are the Boeing 737 Max, Airbus A320 Neo and Boeing’s 787 series. In addition, other civilian aerospace markets are also expected to grow, like rotorcraft, which will only add to total aerospace part production demand.

As long-term prospects for aviation remain strong, the time has come for Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers to invest in the technologies that provide for the capacity to handle rapidly increasing demand. Now is the time to take advantage of this projected growth and invest in new machining technologies.

Spectrum Aerospace. That was nearly 30 years ago, in 1986.

Spectrum Aerospace, located in 20,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility in Tempe, Arizona, specializes in the repair, sale and purchase of parts and material for narrow and wide body commercial jet transports including Spare Parts, APU Sales and Leasing, Parts Consignment and Parts Exchange.They stock many critical inventory items and line replacement units (LRU) for Boeing 737, 757, 767 & Airbus A319 and A320. They are an authorized FAA repair station, and they house a complete machine shop, all under one roof.

But a little about the history of Spectrum Aerospace, and how it got started.

Lars Dirks grew up in the airline industry. It’s in his blood. His father worked for several airlines as a mechanic all over the world, including Indonesia, Holland, and Canada, where Lars and the family moved over the course of his childhood.

When the family eventually wound up in San Francisco, naturally Lars’ first job out of high school was working for an airline, called Hughes Air West. His first job there was as a stock clerk.

Lars wasn’t your typical stock clerk. He was promoted quickly within the company to sales, where he sold surplus aircraft parts to customers all over the world.

Over the next several years, Lars moved into management for the company, and he was transferred first to Phoenix, then to Minnesota. The company was first purchased by Republic Airlines and subsequently by Northwest Airlines. Though the pay while working for the airline would always enable Lars and his family a comfortable lifestyle, Lars wanted more for his family. His latest company owner, Northwest Airlines, offered an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP); this offered Lars the ability to leave the company to use his shares to launch

Lars says, “Spectrum Aerospace was a brokering house for airplane parts. We opened the new business in Phoenix, AZ with a 1500 square foot facility and this is where we bought and sold the parts. With little overhead, we were profitable in the first 90 days.”

Airplane parts and Aircraft are available all over the world, and so Lars traveled the world buying and selling the parts and Aircraft. Lars says, “I would manage the disassembling of the aircraft by the mechanics to take the parts I wanted, you often have to be onsite to manage this effectively.”

More than 20 years into business ownership, Lars planned a very significant expansion for the business -- they became a dual FAA/EASA (European equivalent of FAA) certified repair

station. Lars says, “This was a long process for us, it took 2 and a half years to accomplish, and it meant that we would also open up a machine shop to do the repairs.”

He continued, “The certification is awarded to those firms that consistently deliver

and in addition to our annual audits, the FAA makes unscheduled visits to audit our facility 3 to 4 times per year.”

And so in 2008, Spectrum Aerospace now had 3 distinct businesses under one roof, a brokerage house for airplane parts, specializing in 737s, Inventory sales and a fully certified FAA repair station.

Lars says, “I looked at several new machines to start our machine shop and in the end I selected Haas as our machine tool of choice.”

The company initially purchased two Haas machines, the TL-2 CNC Toolroom Lathe and the TM-3 Toolroom Mill. “Our first machinist was a Journeyman machinist, accomplished in manual machining, so these machines were an excellent fit for him, in that they could support manual and CNC machining.”

Since the machine shop opened, Lars and the team at Spectrum Aerospace purchased two additional Haas machines, the Haas ST30 CNC Lathe and the Haas VF-4 Vertical Machining Center. Lars says, “We are a Haas house through and through now.”

quality-inspected products expeditiously.

It recognizes the ability, knowledge and experience to apply technical research in tracking and locating components and subassemblies with full traceability and/or documentation.”

Lars says that FAA/EASA requirements are extremely stringent, perhaps more so than ISO/AS9100. “We have to do drug testing,

He continued, “We love the Haas machines and the support we get from Ellison Machinery is outstanding.There is just no reason to switch.”

Jason McCurdy is Spectrum Aerospace’s sales engineer from Ellison Machinery.

“Jason is extremely customer oriented, he is knowledgeable about his products, and he knows what we need in terms of machine

tools to run our business.” He continued, “Our Haas machine tools run so well that we really don’t have too much interaction with their service department.”

In addition to mac hining, Spectr um Aerospace handles some of their processes inhouse, including painting and brush plating.

Today, Spectrum Aerospace is expanding their business model yet again. Lars says, “The 4th entity of our business, in addition to airplane part brokerage,Inventory sales, and FAA certified repair station, is to open our machine shop to aerospace manufacturers throughout the United States.

Today, the machine shop, which is planning to add more spindles ‘machine tools’ to its shop, offers precision manufacturing, assembly, prototype or production machining, product design services, all done with the quality required of an FAA/EASA certified entity.

This year’s cohort of top 100 teams hail from 27 states and the U.S.Virgin Islands. Included in these are a team of varsity athletes, a group of marching band members, and a team mentored by a TARC alumnus.Close to one third of the students advancing to the finals this year are female, including seven all-girl teams.

Structured to emulate the aerospace industry’s engineering design process, TARC challenges teams to design and build a model rocket that can travel to a height of 800 feet and back within 46 to 48 seconds.

Each rocket will carry one raw egg that must return safely to the ground undamaged.

Scores are determined by how close the rockets come to the required height and time; damaged eggs disqualify flights.

To encourage ingenuity and creativity, students are challenged with new design and flight requirements each year.This year’s competition calls for the rocket to divide during flight, safely returning the motor and the egg to the ground in separate sections. In addition, there is a new twist to the scoring of flights in the second round at the national finals.This year, the top 42 placing teams will advance to the second round with new height and time restrictions, requiring their rockets to travel to 775 feet and back within 45-47 seconds.This will require teams to alter their strategy and rockets between rounds in order to meet the new scoring parameters.

F-35 will be the Navy’s last manned fighter jet, Navy secretary says Unmanned aircraft will become “the new normal” of air combat in the future, according to U.S. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, noting that the F-35 will likely be the service’s last manned fighter jet. “For example, as good as it is, and as much as we need it and look forward to having it in the fleet for many years, the F-35 should be, and almost certainly will be, the last manned strike fighter aircraft the Department of the Navy will ever buy or fly,” he said.

Trans-Pacific Partnership could boost NM small businesses A proposed, regional free-trade agreement between the United States and 11 other countries around the world could ultimately benefit small businesses in New Mexico.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership-- originally known as the TransPacific Strategic Economic Partnership -- was first conceived of more than a decade ago and aims to expand free trade agreements among the United States, Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam.The agreement would facilitate trade by reducing or eliminating tariff and non-tariff barriers to trade.

What this means for New Mexico has everything to do with the state’s exported goods and the amount of revenue such exports bring in annually. Source: Albuquerque Business First

FAA: Business Jet FleetTo Grow Over NextTwo Decades The active business jet fleet is expected to experience strong g rowth over the next two decades, the FAA says in a newlyreleased forecast.

At the same time, however, the piston-powered aircraft fleet is expected to decline slightly over the same period, the FAA projects.

Recovery in the business jet market has been slow, and 2014 marked the first year of shipment increases by U.S. manufacturers since 2008, it noted.

“The forecast calls for robust growth in the long-term outlook, driven by higher corporate profits and the growth of worldwide GDP, though at rates slightly lower than those predicted last year,” the FAA said. ”Continued concerns about safety, security and flight delays keep business aviation attractive relative to commercial air travel.”

A significant portion of piston aircraft flight hours are used for business purposes as well, it said.

“We predict business usage of general aviation aircraft will expand at a faster pace than that for personal and recreational use,” the FAA said in its forecast. “Increased demand for turboprop aircraft also contributes to increased turbine fleet and hours.”

The business jet fleet is projected to grow at an average rate of 2.8% a year from 2014 through 2035, growing to a total of 20,815 aircraft, the FAA’s forecast said.

Overall, the active general aviation fleet is expected to grow at an A2Z METALWORKER SW

average annual rate of 0.4% over the 21year forecast, from an estimated 198,860 aircraft in 2014 to 214,260 by 2035, it said.

Time Is Money.

The fixed wing turbine aircraft fleet is expected to grow 2.2% a year, while fixedwing piston-powered aircraft are expected to decline 0.6% on average per year. The rotorcraft fleet, however, is expected to grow an average of 2.5% per year.

Start Here and SAVE!

The number of general aviation hours flown are forecasted to grow at an average rate of 1.4% a year, from 23.1 million hr. in 2014 to 30.6 million hr. in 2035, the forecast said.

Fixed-wing aircraft hours flown are expected to grow 2.9% a year, while fixed-wing piston aircraft hours flown are projected to decline at a rate of 3% a year.

The FAA projects faster growth in hours will occur after 2023, with increases in the fixed wing turbine aircraft fleet and increasing utilization of single and multiengine piston aircraft as the aging fleet starts to slow down, it said.

In the medium term, much of the increase in hours flown will reflect strong growth in the rotorcraft and turbine jet fleets.

In addition, declining fuel prices will slow down the decrease in piston flight hours over the short-to-medium term.

Lockheed Martin Space Systems is jumping into the entry pool to be selected to ferry supplies to and from the International Space Station.

The company submitted a three-part system — the Jupiter reusable spacecraft, Exoliner cargo container and a long robotic arm inspired by the space shuttle’s similar appendage — to try to win a piece of the $14 billion NASA pie. “We know how important it is to get astronauts on the ISS the supplies they need on time, every time,� said Wanda Sigur, vice president of Lockheed Martin’s civil space division. “Our approach is designed to

75 s 3EPT /CT 2014

deliver a large volume of critical supplies and cargo with each flight, and do so on schedule.�

8/24/14 2:16 PM

Here’s how it works: Jupiter and Exoliner would launch on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket and deliver their cargo to ISS. Jupiter would remain in orbit, leaving the old Exoliner behind on ISS. Once another Exoliner cargo delivery arrives, Jupiter would remove the old Exoliner from ISS, and replace it with the new. The old cargo container would fall from orbit, burning up upon re-entry to Earth’s atmosphere.

As part of the bid for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Commercial Resupply Services 2 contract, the company is positioning the configuration as a potential support for future deep-space exploration — think interstellar mini-marts placed throughout space, serving as pre-positioned stations to provide astronauts with food, fuel and equipment.

Flex-Pro Takes Their Business To The Next Level With ISO9001: 2008/ AS9100 Revision C Certification With The Help of Consulting Firm BMSC

Flex-Pro was founded in 2013. The company manufactures highly complex precision machine components for diverse industries, including; Aerospace, Defense, Medical, Automotive, Industrial and Commercial. FlexPro recognizes that growth and success is predicated on overall customer satisfaction. Tommy Le and his team have cultivated a corporate culture that will provide their customers with on-time delivery of products that consistently comply with all standards, specification and requirements. Employees throughout the company are empowered and motivated to maintain a level of performance that is unparalleled in our industry.

Flex-Pro continuously invests in their equipment, in growing their team and in expanding opportunities for their employees. The company invests in the state of the art, durable equipment to remain competitive in the industry and better serve various customer demands.

Flex-Pro is just now celebrating 2 years in business, and it has expanded from 1 bay to 2 bays. The initial 3 machines purchased by Tommy Le to start the business have been supplemented with 4 additional machines, bringing the total to 7.The company is staffed with nearly a dozen employees and operates 2 shifts.

“Our growth allowed us to take the next step in our business”, Tommy says, “Building long-term relationships is our strategy to success. We utilize Flex-Pro’s professional team and broad range of equipment, continuous training and technology upgrades to produce high quality products that satisfy all customer needs.” He continued, “ISO 9001: 2008/AS9100 Revision C certification will be just one more guarantee to our customers and since we’re achieved this, we want to expand our business to support more companies that appreciate the value of certification.”

Kim Carpenter, who previously worked withTommy Le and his team, says, “Flex-Pro has a team of highly skilled and experienced employees who are dedicated to quality and customer satisfaction.” Kim also says “At Flex-Pro it is where the possible is done right away and the impossible just takes a little longer.”

Tommy Le says “Let our quality team increase your profit margin by allowing us to manage your machine components from short run prototype parts to long run production. Our dedicated team takes pride in their work. Our goal is complete customer satisfaction”. Contact Flex-Pro, an ISO 9001: 2008/ AS9100 Rev. C Certified minority-owned business.You can reach them at 623-466-6866 or visit their website at FlexProAZ.com Tommy Le asked several machine shops for a recommendation on a consulting firm to help them to achieve ISO9001: 2008/AS9100 Revision C. certification. He says that several of his colleagues in the industry recommended Bretta Kelly, owner of BMSC. Tommy says that BMSC was priced competitively, and BMSC also has a knowledgeable and experienced team. He elaborates, “ The decision to go with BMSC was just the obvious choice.”

This past March, Flex-Pro certified successfully to ISO 9001: 2008/ AS9100 Revision C, and they didn’t just pass—they had 0 findings on their audit. Tommy Le says, “Bretta and her team member Debbie Hart were outstanding.Their knowledge of the certification process is superior, and they were enjoyable to work with.” He continued, “We really appreciated that BMSC scheduled an internal audit prior to the official audit.”

Since the team at Flex-Pro is expert at machining and not so much at ISO implementation, they made the decision to purchase BMSC’s most comprehensive package, and this enables them to have BMSC conduct internal audits on a regular basis.To learn more about BMSC and how they can help you to take your business to the next level, contact them at 602-445-9400 or visit BusinessMSC.com A2Z METALWORKER SW

New group takes off, aims to unite Arizona aerospace industry The aerospace industry has been an important industry in Arizona for years.

From World War II to the present day, the federal government and aerospace manufacturing companies have used Arizona for the manufacturing and development of these products, said Dennis Hoffman, the executive director of the Siedman Research Institute at Arizona State University.

As the market for drones expands and the Department of Defense budget shrinks, Arizona is in an interesting spot when it comes to the future of the aerospace industry within the state.

The state’s economy is based around jobs in the aerospace industry, A2Z METALWORKER

Hoffman said. If it wasn’t for aerospace and other export industries, there would be no demand for construction or small businesses, he said.

“This industry is crucial to this state,” said Hoffman.

A group named the Arizona Aerospace & Defense Association (AZADA) formed earlier this year to help keep the aerospace industry strong in Arizona.

AZADA Executive Director Birgitte Santaella said her goal is to bring all the different companies in the aerospace industry together, to get a united voice for what these companies need from the state and the community. She said the group is working to get some face time with Gov. Doug Ducey.

To start the process of bringing together a very competitive industry, AZADA has started to hold a series of panel discussions on different topics related to the aerospace industry and the future of the industry in the state.

Last month a discussion, which was held at Polsinelli and sponsored by the Phoenix Business Journal, about the proposed rules on small unmanned aircraft systems (aerospace professionals hate the word “drone”) by the Federal Aviation Administration.

Based on the event, the aerospace industry has a lot of opinions on the topic and the future of the industry in the state. The four-person panel discussion quickly turned into a discussion with everyone in the room. There seems to be a lot to say on the topic, but it will be interesting to see what talks turns into action. Source: Phoenix Business Journal

ProtoTech Is Your

Manufacturing Partner If You Want Help With Engineering For Manufacturability... All From A Journeyman-Owned Tool & Die Maker

There are just so many reasons to bring your precision machine parts to Proto Tech, in fact too many to fully explore in a 2 page article.

But there are a few very compelling reasons that differentiate this company from so many others that bear elaboration.

• For one, Proto Tech, an ITAR certified woman-owned business (partners /spouses Gary and Karin Palese), is run by Gary who is a Journeyman tool and die maker. You just don’t get more qualified as an expert machine shop when the founder/co-owner carries this distinction.

• Another very important distinction is that while all of Proto Tech’s customers appreciate their value, those who really recognize what Proto Tech can uniquely do for them are Engineers. Engineers have for years brought their prototype parts to this company. Proto Tech always provides input into the design when asked such routine questions as “How can we build this less expensively?”

Gary says, “Many of our customers send us assembly drawings. When they do, and ask for our advice, we will provide red line drawings back to them which demonstrate how to make the part better, or more cost effectively.”Today the company can offer its customers design A2Z METALWORKER SW

•

68 • May/June 2015

improvements, complete component and even assemblies, as well as special processing, all through entities owned by Gary and Karin.

• Gary and Karin consistently make calculated and aggressive growth plans. When Proto Tech, celebrating their 20th year in business this June, couldn’t get their parts plated on time or to their quality expectations, they opened a plating shop, called Elite Coatings.

Today, Elite Coatings does finishing processes for Proto Tech’s customers, but it also operates as a standalone business for machine shops all over. Gary says that Elite Coatings offers more than 15 different processes for its customers.

Growth and expansion are in Gary and Karin’s make-up. In addition to founding ProtoTech and Elite Coatings, the 2 launched a business manufacturing firearms, called Proto Tactical. They also opened Desert Ammunition and Components, a company manufacturing ammunition. And their latest endeavor, called Proto Tech Systems Division, is manufacturing gigantic coating machines for the solar industry. Both Desert Ammunition and Components Proto Tech Systems Division are co-owned with Gary and Karin’s long term friend.

How it all started.

Gary grew up in Chicago. His father John, turning 93 this year, was a designer and buyer for his entire career, always in manufacturing.

Gary says, “My father steered me into this profession. He saw my love of manufacturing when he took me to machine shops on a regular basis. It was at a young age that I decided I wanted to become a Journeyman Tool and Die maker.”

Gary worked in different machine shops in his post High School years, and thus when he entered the program to become a Journeyman Tool and Die maker, he was able to skip some of the early classes based upon his current skills.

Years later, on a visit with Karin to see his sister, both Gary and Karin fell in love with Tucson, so much so that they moved to the warmer climate from their hometown in Chicago.

Gary worked for a few shops in Tucson.

to join another one. Shortly thereafter, they contact us once again.This is how we’ve grown our customer base to more than 30 unique customers, and no one customer represents a significant percentage of our overall business.”

Dave Scheeler, general manager for the company, says, “Today we own 12 Haas machines, and we tell our team that if they gain any weight, they won’t fit into the shop - it is just that tight.”

When the shop he worked for landed a very large R&D contract, the owner didn’t want to take on this new complex work. Gary went to this customer and asked, “Can I do this work for you in my own shop?”This marked the beginning of Proto Tech.

Fast-forward 20 years. Gary says, “While we support a large number of industries, including automation, aerospace, and optics, we always end up with a lot of work manufacturing vacuum coating machine parts.”

Gary bought his first Haas machine 17 years ago, and he says, “It is still working today.”

Gary says that when he initially bought the Haas machine, other machine shop owners in Tucson told him it would only last a few years. Gary says, “Back then it was the best value for the dollar, and it remains so today.”

Dave adds, “The Haas machines are the most

The company employs 20 people in their shop that is packed with machine tools.The company is renowned for its tooling capabilities, and this represents about 20% of the company’s business.

The lion share of their business is machining parts and components, and even assemblies.

Some of their customers include:

• Faxitron, the world’s largest and only fully vertically integrated, dedicated cabinet x-ray company.

• Inrad Optics Inc., which has long been known as one of photonic industry’s seminal crystalline products companies.

• Lake Shore Cryogenics, manufacturer of superconducting magnet charging power supplies and cryogenic accessories.

Just in the past few months, Proto Tech purchased 2 new Haas machine tools, both Haas High speed VF3-SSYT machines.

What’s Next for ProtoTech?

Gary says, “I get a couple of calls every week from people wanting to buy the business.” He continued, “Why would I? I am just having too much fun!” He takes the time to credit Dave, who came on board about 5 years ago, with helping to make business ownership fun. He says, “There are things I am not as good at, or I just don’t like doing, and Dave does them really well. We are a great team.”

Proto Tech Today.

• Lasertel, a vertically integrated manufacturer of high-power semiconductor laser components and developer of customer laser solutions.

Seattle-area aerospace analyst Michel Merluzeau, of Frost and Sullivan, was philosophic, calling ZA002 a “prototype aircraft.”

Boeing has found a home for the second of three 787 Dreamliners that are too heavy and out-of-norm to sell: The Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson.

‘“That’s the nature of flight testing,” he said. “You find things, and that’s the way it goes.”

The 787-8 aircraft, No. ZA002, which means second in production, flew into Davis-Monthan Air Force Base on Thursday.

The company gave its third Dreamliner to the Museum of Flight in Seattle in November.

The plane that went to the Pima museum is completely operable, and was in fact part of the flight test fleet that Boeing used to certify the 787 for the FAA. But as one of the very first aircraft in production, it bore the brunt of the changes and additions that Boeing had to do to the first aircraft because of design issues and problems with early parts like fasteners.

“In some cases, test airplanes have been used commercially after testing is complete,” said Boeing spokesman Paul Bergman. “Boeing announced in August 2009 that the first three 787s used in the 787-8 flight test program (known as ZA001, ZA002 and ZA003) had no commercial value and their costs would be recorded as research and development expense.”

With a list price of $218 million, this is just one piece of the billions of dollars in unexpected expenses Boeing incurred as it worked to get 787 production under control.

SpaceX Aims To Debut New Version of Falcon 9 this Summer

2015 HaasAds_FO130.indd 3

SpaceX plans to inaugurate its new, morepowerful Falcon 9 rocket this summer, using the same Merlin 1D engine with a modified fuel mix and other changes to extend the company’s planned reuse of the first stage to cover all SpaceX launches, SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell said.

Shotwell said the new-version Falcon 9 will be about 30 percent more powerful than the rocket’s current version.

SpaceX’s plans to reuse its Falcon 9 rocket’s first stage have been carried out so far by attempted landings in the ocean and on an unmanned ocean barge following launches into low Earth orbit.

the U.S. Defense Department to carry those 12/11/14 9:04 AM agencies’ high-value payloads.

As it adopts the new-version Falcon 9 and prepares for the inaugural flight — still scheduled for late this year — of its Falcon Heavy rocket, SpaceX wants to limit its production line to two versions of the rocket’s core.

The current Falcon 9 v1.1 is in the middle of a U.S. government certification process that began about a year ago and is expected to be finished by midyear. Once that is completed, further rocket enhancements will be treated as modifications not requiring the same detailed review by the government agencies.

“Falcon Heavy is two different cores — the inner core and the two side sticks,” Shotwell said.

“The new Falcon 9 will basically be a Falcon Heavy side booster. So we’re building [only two different] cores to make sure we don’t have a bunch of configurations around the factory so we can streamline operations and hit a launch cadence of one or two a month from every launch site we have.”

The Falcon 9 v1.1 rocket needs more power to perform the same maneuver after a launch carrying a telecommunications satellite to geostationary orbit 36,000 kilometers over the equator, thus the need for the upgraded engine.

The upgraded Falcon 9, Shotwell said, will make its inaugural flight this summer. Customer SES of Luxembourg has said it is willing to be the first customer for the launch of a 5,300-kilogram telecommunications satellite to geostationary orbit.

Shotwell said the company stopped full qualification of the Merlin 1D engine’s capabilities to keep the first Falcon 9 v1.1

Shotwell said the new-version Falcon 9 will not force the company to begin a lengthy new process of certifying the vehicle with NASA and

“There will be iterations that go on from there, but they will be certified as changes. It won’t be certified as an entirely new rocket,” Shotwell said.

“Nearly half of the activity for certification is certifying SpaceX as a company — our manufacturing processes, our quality control, our launch sites and our launch processes,” she said. “That doesn’t change with the rocket, and in fact that doesn’t change when we go from a Falcon 9 single stick to a Falcon Heavy.”

On expanding its production facilities:'We keep extending the facility in the Hawthorne area, in Los Angeles County. I feel like I sign a lease every month or six weeks for a new facility. We should be able to produce 40 cores a year in that factory.” by Peter B. de Selding A2Z METALWORKER SW

Alcoa Redefines What It Makes--And Where Alcoa Inc. now likes to brand itself as a “multi-materials” company.

The truth: It’s still very much an aluminum company--just one that’s changing where and what it is making.

Alcoa is at the forefront of two trends changing the metals industry.

The first trend: an eastward shift in raw production, driven by economic growth in Asia and changes in relative costs.

The second: a turn by metals companies toward making parts for fastgrowing markets like aerospace and automotive, which are more profitable than making raw metal.

Last month, the company moved on both fronts. It said it would look at cutting or selling as much as 500,000 tons of annual smelting capacity, or 14% of its total. Since 2007, the company has closed or sold 1.3 million tons, or 31%, of its “highest-cost global smelting capacity.” But with raw prices still lagging, it is now moving to cut more.

Historically, Alcoa has made aluminum in the West near hydroelectric dams in mountainous regions. Now, electricity prices, which account for between a quarter and a third of aluminum-making costs have risen too high relative to elsewhere in the world.

“Aluminum needs plentiful energy and a captive market so other industries and populations aren’t driving up the price,” says Dick Evans, chairman of Constellium NV, an Alcoa competitor. “Without a captive market, the price goes up.”

That’s why Alcoa now produces predominantly in places like Iceland and Saudi Arabia, and has scaled back in Tennessee and upstate NewYork.The U.S. might have cheaper energy these days, thanks for the natural-gas boom, but it also has too many other industries--and people.

It isn’t just the U.S. that is losing capacity. Brazil, where Alcoa is shutting down two plants, will soon have only two smelters, down from more than six last decade. Aluminum is needed to make tanks and airplanes, so there is some strategic risk in a country losing so much metal production.

However, Canada remains a major producer, and could supply the rest of the Americas in case of a conflict.

A few days after announcing its cutbacks, Alcoa said it would buy Pittsburgh-based RTI International Metals Inc., one of the world’s biggest makers of fabricated titanium products for the aerospace industry, in a transaction that values the company at $1.5 billion.

The RTI deal comes after Alcoa last year bought U.K. jet-engine parts maker Firth Rixson Ltd. and Germany’s Tital, which makes titanium and aluminum castings for airplanes engines and airframes.

So where does that leave Alcoa?

Well, even after the RTI deal,Alcoa will still derive almost half its revenue from making raw alumina or associated raw materials, and even more if you count the aluminum it makes to sell to its various finishing businesses.

Those sales, which aren’t booked in total sales figures, are considerable, amounting to billions of dollars of aluminum a year. And overall, well over 80% of its sales, including sheet metal for the now aluminum-hungry

auto industry, are aluminum-related. Consequently,Alcoa is still vulnerable to a troubling trend shared with the steel industry: rising exports from China, which now makes around half the world’s aluminum, up from 5% two decades ago.

And now that Chinese demand growth has slowed, exports are starting to skyrocket.Total Chinese aluminum exports rose 67% to 1.2 million tons in the first two months of 2015.

• Machining • Sheet Metal Fabrication •Welding •Spinning

The goods coming out of China are increasingly semifinished and finished.

“It’s a way for companies to get around a 15% export tax on raw aluminum by making semifinished goods instead, says Andrew Lane of Morningstar Inc. What’s coming out of China helps to dilute demand for raw metal needed to make all kinds of aluminum. But it typically doesn’t compete directly with the higher-value forms of aluminum Alcoa makes.

One U.S. company importing from China is Eminent Packaging Inc., a Niagara Falls, N.Y., company that distributes collapsible tubes used for products like toothpaste and ointments. “We’ve been shipping from China for four or five years,” says Swetu Chheda, the CEO. “It is cheaper than what you can get elsewhere on world markets, although we have had problems with quality.”

Alcoa’s mix of aluminum, titanium and alloyed parts for the fast-growing aerospace sector looks to be profitable for a while. Its engineered production division has improved operating income for 19 straight quarters.

And by this decade’s end, says Morningstar’s Mr. Lane, “we think margins in the smelting business will be 20%--and even higher” for aerospace markets.

Arizona trying to lure more foreign direct investment to bolster economy

Introducing Low Cost A s s e m b l y f o r Yo u r Manufacturing

With the U.S. economy showing strength, many foreign investors are looking to invest in companies, expand businesses and partner through direct foreign investment. Arizona officials are trying to open that door.

That investment is more than just job-generating investment. These are companies looking to increase an international footprint by adding a U.S. address.

The challenge is getting the metro area to the table. Hugo von Meijenfeldt, consul general for the Kingdom of the Netherlands, said his kingdom’s companies tend to take a look at the U.S. as being the East Coast and Southeast, with some interest in the West.

“We’re trying to get companies to take advantage of inland opportunities,” he said. “Some companies already have an Arizona presence, but we want to see more because of the economic opportunity.”

Von Meijenfeldt said the metro’s proximity to Southern California and lower cost of doing business make it a good place for Dutch companies to check.

Phoenix topped Site Selection magazine’s list for the Mountain region, inking 78 deals — more than Salt Lake City and Denver combined.

With the West added to the list, Phoenix beat the combined number of deals for metro San Francisco, Seattle and Portland. Source: Phoenix Business Journal

Pentagon shifts approach to speed up commercial buying

Quality New & Used CNC Machine Tools Since 1989

Specializing in

CNC Turning Centers - CNC Machining Centers CNC Swiss - Bar Feeds & Bar Loaders

The U.S. Defense Department is revamping its rules to speed up purchases of commercial items, part of a larger drive to attract new suppliers to the U.S. weapons market and drive down acquisition costs, the Pentagon’s pricing czar told Reuters.

The Pentagon has set a new target of 10 business days for deciding whether items such as cockpit displays and other aerospace components are truly commercial, or if they need a more rigorous cost analysis used for items exclusive to the military.

Director of Defense Pricing Shay Assad shared the memo and outlined the changes in an interview with Reuters, conceding that some reviews were taking “far too long,” ranging as long as nine months in some cases.

The Pentagon buys $60 billion of commercial items each year from various industries, ranging from office supplies to items built for commercial use but modified for the military. Industry and the Pentagon have been at sparring for years about which of the modified items should be considered military, and how much internal cost data companies should provide about those.

“Industry has had a legitimate complaint about the amount of time it takes us to make a decision,” Assad said.“We want to try and assure those companies that don’t necessarily do business with us that we really would prefer to buy commercial items,” Assad said. He said it was more important than ever for the Pentagon to leverage private investment given budget constraints.

Defense Secretary Ash Carter and other Pentagon officials, keen to drive down weapons costs and benefit from investment by commercial suppliers, have vowed to open the weapons market to technology companies and other innovative suppliers.

But those efforts have foundered due to industry’s reluctance to grapple with extensive regulations that apply only to defense acquisitions, as well as concerns about the government’s push to own the intellectual property involved.

The industry also has claimed that the department was pressing for confidential pricing details beyond those normally required for commercial items, hurting company profits.

A former executive with Raytheon Co, Assad has unsettled contractors with his dogged scrutiny of overhead costs. But his creation in recent years of a department-wide database for pricing and contract data has drawn praise for helping speed up the acquisition process.

In the memo, Assad said the department was revising federal defense acquisition regulations to reflect the changes.He told Reuters the Pentagon would create a new training course for acquisition officials about the issue, and planned to assign 50 to 70 engineers and pricing experts to five centers around the country as a resource for contracting officers.

He said he also expects to sign a pilot agreement in coming weeks with one major supplier that would pre-certify a group of items as “commercial.” He declined to name the firm.

Here’s an explanation on the science behind VASMIR engine: Impressed with AARC’s VASMIR technology, NASA agreed on a partnership and will disburse the money to the company over three years. NASA is said to consider using the propulsion system for its future expeditions to the Red Planet.

On its partnership with NASA, AARC believes that it will be beneficial for the growth of the VASMIR engine.

“The partnership [with NASA] will advance the Vasimr engine to a technology readiness level (TRL) greater than 5 – a step closer to space flight,” the company said in a press release.

DOD could reshape defense aerospace industry with Strike Bomber decision The Department of Defense’s Long Range Strike Bomber decision will likely make or break Boeing or Northrup Grumman’s combat aircraft units, experts say. “Thanks to F-35, Lockheed Martin doesn’t need to worry about staying in the combat aircraft business,” said analyst Richard Aboulafia.

“But for the other two companies, a loss means they will likely exit the industry.The loser won’t be around to compete for the next generation of fighter designs, which should enter service around 2030.”

were working in manufacturing. Three years and one frightful recession later, only 11.5 million were. But since 2010, employment has been ticking back up, with companies adding about 400,000 jobs.

One reason for at least a small portion of that growth: the return of factory work from overseas. Experts say it’s difficult to accurately measure the number of jobs tied to work returning from other countries, but some employers say they know it is happening. Reversing A Herd Mentality Howard Hauser, a vice president with Hiawatha Rubber Co., says for a long time, manufacturers followed a herd mentality of sending work offshore. They all wanted components produced in low-wage, emerging markets like China. “They were looking at the piece price.

And it looked like, ’We’re going to save a lot of money,’” he said. “But the bottom line was they didn’t save nearly as much as they thought. And with the quality issues, they’re just not getting product that’s acceptable for the customer.”

Now Hiawatha, based outside Minneapolis, is getting those contracts. And Hauser has himself decided to “reshore” production of a component that was being made in China. The move will result in three new hires at his plant. He says the part was not difficult to make, but the Chinese factory kept botching the job. He says Hiawatha, which makes rubber components for equipment such as printers and pumps, can do it better.
