Smith’s Machine LLC Recognized by Manufacturing News
DMG's David Morgan presents Customer of the Year Plaques
Smith’s Machine LLC has been recognized in an article in Manufacturing News, an industry publication. The story appeared on the cover of the August 2009 regional SE Manufacturing News and appears in Industrial Product News online.
The news story highlights Smiths Machine’s status as the DMG Customer of the Year as well as the Grand Opening of its new facility in June of this year.
The article also points to Smiths plan to become AS9000 certified in September, as well as the firm’s investment in the latest machine tool technology. It quotes Tim Smith on the decision to outfit the firm’s plants with DMG machine tools.
“We bought our first DMG machine tool in 2000,” said Tim Smith. “We are very pleased with how it performs. We decided that we needed one vendor and one standardized control for all machines (verticals, horizontals, mill-turn, twin spindle turning and 5-axis). In 2003, after extensive market study, comparing machine specifications, technology and company background, we chose DMG as our preferred vendor due to the machine technology and horsepower along with the support that DMG offers from the technical side. A big plus for us is the Siemens control, commonality is very important for our operators. No matter the machine, the operator can run it. Six years later we are still pleased with our decision, it has paid off.”
Smith’s Machine currently has 20 DMG machine tools in its two plants.
