Buyer’s Bulletin
Dear Mr. Hartmann,
Your 2027 sourcing plans are probably being set in the next few weeks, so here is what changed at our plant this year, in one page.
Castings now leave us fully machined
We added 5-axis machining in-house, so parts arrive ready to assemble instead of going to a second supplier.
