“ Each level of the business is customer facing , even mine . Our abilities extend far beyond just repairing broken equipment ,” Bob continues . “ For example , we recently had a customer approach us with a specific application for their stamping press . They needed the press to operate between 70 and 10,000 PSI , which is a huge range for this kind of equipment . Typically these machines are single use over a much smaller range , but the customer wanted to broaden the press ’ capabilities to meet their entire product range requirements . Our engineering and controls teams successfully analyzed , designed and delivered a unique solution to satisfy their needs . That ’ s what sets us apart , we can provide the optimization solutions that boost productivity in ways that your standard maintenance company can ’ t .
Investing in people
“ The emergency repair services that we offer are another strong area of expertise for Enprotech . When equipment goes down unexpectedly it costs manufacturers thousands of dollars every hour in lost production . Our team is willing to move heaven and earth , around the clock , to ensure that our customers are up and running as quickly as possible . We can either visit the plant in person or have the equipment delivered to our facilities for repair . We aim to have the work completed within three-to-five days , as we see that kind of reliability to be key in a valued partnership .”
Amidst the national labor shortages , the business has embraced its core values and focused on developing people now more than ever , as Chad details : ” Manufacture a career with Enprotech , is a tag line we like to use to describe the personal investment that we make in people . When you think about it , manufacturing is the perfect metaphor for personal development . You start out with your raw materials , which undergo build processes and value-add steps , before you finish with
the final product . We ’ re confident that the people who come to work with us grow to be more skilled versions of themselves through continuous career development .”
“ Indeed , when we are looking to fill leadership positions , we have certain criteria ,” Bob concludes . “ Of course , you ’ ve got to be technically capable , but we also look for servant leader attributes and skills too , which we ’ re always successful in finding . We strive to ensure that our environment is based upon cooperation , where everybody has a voice . That is the secret sauce that separates Enprotech from its competitors . A CNC operator can take their skill anywhere , so our difference is aiming to be the company that people actively seek out as the employer of choice .” ■
