We’re very pleased to announce that once again Antron has expanded the footprint of our operation.  Our newly constructed shop area has just been approved for occupancy and we’re thrilled.

We immediately moved production items into the space and are already using it to produce products for our customers.  If you’re browsing our web site for the first time, please note that we now have even more space to make your product shine!

Environmental responsibility is also very important to all of us at Antron, and with that in mind we continue to find ways to make improvements.  We just upgraded the water-recycling feature on our tumblers, saving thousands of gallons of water per year.  In addition, we renovated more of our bathroom facilities adding waterless features that will make a big difference.

And lastly, several of us will be on the road this week visiting customers as a part of our goal to better understand their needs for current and future projects.

  Sometimes in this internet-focused world, we are reminded how important it is to get out of the shop and meet in person, to discuss the work we do.   Whether current clients, prospective clients or other industry professionals, there are great benefits to speaking about projects in person, and this is something the Antron team always looks forward to.

Recently we had a great couple of days attending the 2011 Design-2-Part Show in Marlborough, MA, on November 2^nd and 3^rd.  Attendance at the event was great with a constant flow of people past the Antron booth.  As usual, our lighted pens were a big hit with attendees, and gave us a great opportunity to chat with people as they stopped by.

As is typical of these shows, the type of work being discussed ranged from single item prototypes to more complex multi-part assemblies.  It is fascinating to hear what products people want to make and figure out how we can help them get the results they’re looking for.  In some cases, prospective clients were looking to create new products but others came by seeking improved quality and/or pricing.

We are currently planning for our next show and will announce those details here when things are official.  Stay tuned for more info and hopefully we’ll see you there.

In the meantime, if you didn’t get a chance to speak with us at Design-2-Part in Marlborough, visit our Contact Us page or Request a Quote online.  We’d be happy to work with you.

As a company that cares about customer relations and satisfaction, we really enjoy this show. Nowhere else are we able to talk face-to-face with both current clients and potential customers about their upcoming projects and possible solutions. There really is nothing better than holding a part and working toward a design or production answer together at the show.

Design-2-Part is what they call a “working” show, which means that people can bring a part, sample part or design to discuss ways that Antron can assist you in improving your manufacturing process.

We look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones at this year’s show, which runs November 2nd and 3rd at the Royal Plaza Trade Center in Marlborough, MA. For more information about the show go to http://www.d2p.com/ShowInfo.
