MI has always been a family business, and that legacy continues, as Steve is taking a step back and Nick is assuming the role of President this year.  Nick has been steadily assuming more responsibility over the last five years, and it is time for Steve to enjoy the fruits of his hard labor.  Congratulations to Steve, we wish him all the best…he is still going to contribute in our design lab so we are glad he will still be around.

We are thrilled to have a new toy on the floor, a Swiss-type lathe with dual spindles and live tooling…but most importantly a high-pressure coolant system.  This HP system has dramatically cut cycle times on some of our tightest-tolerance parts, and we are giving it a heavy workout.  It has also eliminated secondary operations on some parts, which gives us more capacity in the milling department.  We are quite pleased with it.
