Additional Equipment hits the floor again...

We received (3) more additional pieces of new equipment this week, (2) BMX Rapidos, and our 2nd Rebuilt ACME Machine.

A few other machine moves, finalizing our Quality-CNC Re-organization and addition, and we are off and running for 3rd quarter.

The logistics and ex*****on of these projects is crucial & complex, we could not do it without our Top Notch staff and the meaningful supplier relationships we have built over the years.

We again thank our Screw Machine & CNC Division Maint. & Facilities teams along with our key vendors on these projects, Holp & Sons (Brookville, Oh), Kahle Technologies (Ottawa, Oh),and Brett May with BME (Port Huron, MI).

Now the challenge is getting the new equipment installed, set-up and operational...

Vanamtic hosted their third and final food truck of the season today – Kevin’s Kajunette Food Truck!

Kevin's Kajunette is based out of Findlay, OH. This is their first time at Vanamatic and we have a feeling it won’t be the last.

Kevin and Rachel serve Cajun Soul food with big flavors including: jambalaya, wings paired with creole fries, and steak and shrimp pasta bowls. The alligator bites and voodoo rolls were also a huge hit with the staff. Everyone thought the food was amazing.

A special thank you to Kevin’s Kajunette for serving our staff and to Vanamatic for treating us with another delicious food truck this season!
