Technology plays a huge part in helping us to be more efficient in the manufacturing process.

Besides obvious internet searches, the ability to instantly interact with customer inquiries when electronic copies of site photos, plans, specifications, details, etc. are available makes for exciting opportunities.
Ripley: Technology plays a huge part in helping us be more efficient in the manufacturing process. We have invested in computer-controlled, wire-forming machines (CNC), computer-controlled safety equipment on automatic stamping and welding machines, and started upgrading our ladder machines to Servo motors that are more efficient and produce less scrap. The 3-D CNC machines allow us to manufacture our patented CoreLock rebar positioners in seconds, versus minutes manually. This dramatically cuts costs and allows us to supply higher quality products that save the contractor money at competitive prices.
All of our sales representatives have smart phones, which allow them to stay in close contact with their customers.
