AUGUSTA, ME. - September 3, 2002 - Here we GROW again! Demonstrating
our steadfast commitment to excellence in performance and customer
satisfaction, Kennebec Tool & Die has purchased a brand new
Nakamura-Tome Multi-Tasking Twin-Spindle Turning Center, incorporating the
most recent advancements in machining technology.
"Multi-tasking gives us the ability to machine a part complete in one
set-up" says Brent Duncan, Engineering Manager. "This machine will
decrease throughput (the length of time it takes to convert raw material to
saleable product) and increase productivity, allowing Kennebec Tool &
Die to meet marketplace requirements for shorter lead times and reduced
costs" Duncan adds. The new equipment will be in place on September
27.
