2023 Year In Review from Summit CNC
As the year closes, we are reflecting on our successes and want to express our gratitude for your business and support. When we launched our Denver machine shop a couple years ago, we had a vision of focusing on the prototype needs of aerospace, defense and medical companies. Like many startups, where we started is not where we are now. Through customer demand, we found that the market really needed a low-volume / high-mix shop that had the capabilities to produce high precision parts, such as fixturing, for aerospace, defense and medical companies.
As we transitioned to serving this market throughout this past year, we began making investments in our business to continuously improve our ability to serve the high precision low volume / high mix needs of our customers. This past fall we invested in and completed our integration of ProShop’s digital ERP and QMS ecosystem. ProShop allows us to best systematize manufacturing and inspection and provide our customers with more consistent quality assurance. We can prescribe and easily input inspection criteria, frequency and results for all of your parts’ dimensions on each work order instead of using disparate software systems. On top of that, we can easily maintain and provide you with our inspection records in a quick and orderly manner.
In conjunction with our integration of ProShop we began our journey towards ISO 13485:2016 and AS9100D certifications and we are on track to earn these certifications by the end of March, 2024. All of the manuals, processes, training and calibration and maintenance schedules for these certified quality systems are built right into ProShop so we can most effectively serve our medical and aerospace customers.
Finally, we began our holiday season by rebranding the company. With our shift to a low-volume / high-mix precision machine shop, we created a new name that would better evoke who we have become as a company: Summit CNC. We take great pride in producing high precision parts, such as precision fixturing, that are difficult to manufacture consistently. We also view continuous improvement as essential to becoming a better shop and best serving our customers. Thus, each day we come to work intent on continuing to ascend the 'Summit' of precision CNC machining in everything we do.
As 2023 comes to a close we are feeling especially thankful to the customers and vendors that have helped us find our market and path to success over the past couple of years. Starting a precision machine shop from the ground up is difficult and without you it would not have been possible. We wish you all happy holidays and the best in 2024.
