EXPECTATIONS

From customer service to exceptional quality , Pro-Con promises precision manufacturing

Pro-Con is a manufacturing company that has been working with OEMs , designers , and engineers for nearly two decades . Chris Hinkebein , President , shares the story of the company ’ s success : “ Pro-Con was founded in 1995 and I purchased the business in 2012 . It was well established at the time and the previous owner had a good management team in place , which coming from outside of manufacturing was greatly beneficial . The business didn ’ t have a solid marketing presence , but with my background in marketing , my goal was to increase the company ’ s visibility while allowing the managers to continue doing what they do , in terms of driving growth .

“ We are a contract manufacturer , specializing in CNC mill , and lathe services . We also have light fabricating capabilities . Our welders carry out MIG and TIG welding , both on individual parts and assemblies . We have approximately 60 staff members and work with customers throughout North America , Canada , and Mexico , and are always looking for new opportunities within the manufacturing world .
“ Companies come to us with drawings of components and quantities they require . It can be a oneoff or an ongoing purchase , and we will quote accordingly . Our state-of-the-art , 30,000-square-foot facility includes 18 CNC milling centers and 15 CNC turning centers , plus an assortment of supporting equipment such as manual mills , lathes , and saws . As a precision component parts manufacturer , we provide customers with high-quality and cost-effective parts , delivered when promised , through excellent service and support ,” he explains .
