Test of time

摘要

What's old is now new at Flexco Products Inc. After more than two decades of nonstop operating, the company's corrective leveling line was kaput. Investing in a completely new line would cost millions, but then CEO Tom Jellison noticed the bones of his line were still intact. Forty years ago, Tom Jellison bought a building he intended primarily as com mercial rental property to let. Instead he took over the building and started dis tributing coil products. "Now we're sitting in a complex with some 20 odd buildings," Jellison says. Located in Elkhart, Indiana, Flexco fabricates prod ucts from raw coil using laser, turret, robotic and hand welding, press brakes and stamping machines, and progressive dies.
