What the work is
ISO 9001:2015 certified, and it shows on the floor.
Start to finish, under one roof
Custom and short-run cylinders, not the same part a million times. You machine it, weld it, assemble it, and test it — start to finish, under one roof.

Your name goes on the traveler
The person who machines a cylinder is the one who tests and crates it. You see the whole job, learn the whole process, and your work ships with your name on the traveler.
