INLAND NORTHWEST AEROSPACE CONSORTIUM SPOTLIGHT “O ur goal is to remove obstacles that get in the way of our employees carrying out their jobs. If an employee needs some- thing, we want to get it for them and then get out of their way, so they can get their jobs done,” he said. The move was a good opportunity to implement employee-suggested changes and give them additional ownership of their work. This approach was also key in easing the transition of two different companies and cultures into one. The company now employs 50 and runs two shifts per day. Individuals who demonstrate a good work ethic and good attitude have the opportuni- ty to advance and receive company-spon- sored training/education, which helps keep high performing employees and builds a strong base of qualified workers essential for meeting the exacting needs of industries such as aerospace and medical. PCT’s recent strategic acquisition has also enabled the company to increase its value proposition to customers. This move has been tremendously successful with existing customers who can now count on PCT to do an even wider variety of work for them. Grassel said, “We have many long-time customers who have come to trust us to provide them with high-quality products. Now, we are able to meet a broader range of their machining needs and have more tools in our tool belt to customize solutions to their unique challenges.” Contact Precision Cutting Technologies or learn more about their capabilities: [phone] [email protected] http://pctmfg.com JUNE | JULY 2019 ISSUE NO. 9 55
