Visited M&R last week.....
« on: June 02, 2015, 08:06:33 PM »
Top notch facility up there!  Easy to see why they are on top and will stay there.  Rich took half of his day and gave me the extended tour, followed by Dave Zimmer at the Niles plant.  Both places are amazing.  I could stay there all day and talk shop.  Specifically at the Niles plant where they have machines set up to play with.  I saw some pretty cool new technology that will be debuting in 2017, I think was the date Rich said.  Everyone can look forward to that!  Its cool when you can go there where they are being made and can say, I like this or I don't like that, and they can actually see why and what you are talking about.  What I thought was super cool, was the Stryker!  I have seen it before at a show, but to actually see multiple ones set up that stretch 4 miles, pretty awesome.  Also, that Gauntlet number 1, still set up right there in the show room, brings back memories of the first press I started on.  I could go on and on.  I just want to publicly thank Rich Hoffman, Dave Zimmer, Alex M, and Alex W, for spending time with us and showing us that they do value our business.  Top notch.  Thanks guys.

Oh yeah, the what have printed lately thread here....has some super cool work in it, but I saw some prints at M&R,  I told Rich he could pick up my CH3D and I would pursue something new, that awesome! And that far ahead of everybody.

Did Rich give you a pair of those cool blue sun shades ;D, one of these old days I'll get around to checking them out, looks like a very cool plant as far as I seen on vids.

Thanks for looking in at our new gear in production brotha! ;D That place is beyond cool. I'm still amazed at the custom built boiler room that is set up to cater to the cats. That m_link is a sweet piece of gear too. We have shirts that Harvey did while we were there in December and have been washed every week with our laundry and still look new. Looking forward to another visit just for the fun of it. That service center and visual display of customers is pretty sweet too. As you stated, you could go on and on. Glad you had fun and got to go after all these years.
