V itex Extrusion LLC, under the leadership of Andrew Curland, President and CEO, took over this extrusion plant in 2007.
The new management team has and continues to change the business focus in a big, dramatic way. This 115,000 square foot plant, which was built in 1986 and originally owned by the former Jarl Extrusion, changed ownership six times through a series of mergers and acquisitions prior to 2007. Limited capital investment was put into the plant and it suffered in its productivity, having two aging 7" and 9" extrusion lines and virtually no fabricating capability. Vitex has completely turned things around with both extensive investments in a modern, world class extrusion press and downstream machining and fabricating capabilities. They removed the old

This is the new 8" extrusion line that incorporates world class 'front loading' technologies for optimum operating efficiency of the extrusion process. The billet [A], 8" diameter by a calculated length, up to 47" is heated to a prescribed flow point temperature, again based on the size and shape of the extrusion. The 2750 ton press ram [B] applies pressure to the tail end of the billet and the aluminum is extruded out of the head end of the extruder through a die [not shown]. The speed, the feed, the temperature of the billet all have a role to play in controlling tolerances.

cases, a manufacturer needing an extruded part would buy the extrusion, have it shipped to a fabricator for processing, then shipped again to fill their production needs. All that represents added time in queue and additional costs. Vitex has incorporated a powerful, streamlined manufacturing solution for their customers, combining world class extrusion with downstream machining and fabrication capabilities. Since first acquiring the company in 2007, Curland and his management team have been making continuous investments into new machining centers and other downstream fabricating capabilities. The company’s value added division capabilities currently include eight vertical cnc machining centers, three batch type recut saws,
7" extrusion line, and installed a brand new 8", 2750 ton, front loading extrusion line. What makes the new line so much better can be partially explained with these improvements: Significantly higher productivity. Quicker die change times. Tighter dimensional tolerances. Superior surface finishes.
Now, this expanded extrusion capability sounds great, but there’s a lot more behind the Vitex Extrusion story. A new business plan was conceived based on the premise that in many
Once the aluminum is extruded, it is stretched on this big table to straighten the bars. The size is carefully
calculated to hold the shape tolerance.
This is an overview of the complete line. The extrusions are sawed to accurate lengths once the
stretch is completed as seen in the fore ground. The last step after this is the tempering ovens where the
grain structure is refined according to the customers request.
The press operator monitors and controls all the phases of the press at his control panel.

two large tub vibratory deburring machines, a specialty orbital deburring machine and a number of other specialty items including two CMM’s for their quality lab. By focusing on the synergy of extrusion with on-site fabrication and finishing of aluminum components, Vitex continues to add valuable capabilities for their customers. The latest example is their new KIWA KH 45 six pallet
horizontal machining center. The horizontal multi-pallet set up allows for continuous machining of multi-faced parts in quicker cycle times versus machining on a traditional vertical machining center. The multi-pallet technology features the ability to load and run several customer parts concurrently, enabling quicker response times.
Custom work stations can be designed to optimize component cycle times for
large scale production requirements.
In a nutshell, Vitex offers the ability to extrude profiles, cut to size, machine, weld, finish and custom package high tolerance finished aluminum components. They will work with customers at any stage of manufacturing, from partial production to total supply chain management including:
Product design Testing Extrusion Machining Finishing Assembly Quality Control Shipping – regional, national or

PRESS RELEASE
Quote from a recent meeting: "We are going to continue having these meetings, everyday, until I find out why no work is getting done."
BTMA Members Open Their Doors for 3rd Annual Manufacturing Day BTMA Members are very serious about getting the word out about the importance of manufacturing and as part of their year-round efforts to promote the industry, seven companies opened their doors to students, educators, and local and state officials on October 3rd, National Manufacturing Day. AccuRounds, Arundel Machine Tool, Boston Centerless, the Custom Group Center for Manufacturing Technology, FH Peterson Machine Corp., North Easton Machine Co., and United Tool & Machine Corp. all hosted tours and activities for over 500 people, combined. These events provided information and insights into the importance of the industry and the varied careers available. Three members located south of Boston worked together to rotate students and teachers from four vocational high schools through their facilities. For the 2nd year in a row, AccuRounds (Avon), FH Peterson Machine Corp. (Stoughton), and North Easton Machine Co. (North Easton) provided the schools with great opportunities to compare the different processes and products of these companies. The participating high schools included:

Ben, 33, represents the third generation in the closely-held company and has been with TCI full-time since 2004 and will take over day-to-day operations. John Belzer is stepping aside and will remain active as the company’s CEO. "This is an extremely proud moment for me personally and important milestone for TCI,” said John Belzer, CEO of TCI Precision Metals. “Ben brings renewed energy, creativity, applied technologies and a focus on transformative culture to the company while providing exceptional value to the company over the past 10 years. Moving forward, under his leadership the company will continue to evolve as a customer-centric organization.” Ben Belzer holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Economics and Information Sciences from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Among his many accomplishments, shortly after joining TCI in 2004, Ben scoped, sourced, and directed the implementation of an integrated ERP system; in 2008 he was instrumental in acquiring both ISO 9001 and AS9100 quality certifications for the company. Under Ben’s leadership, TCI continues on a path of developing a high-performance workplace focusing on operational excellence and total customer satisfaction. Founded in 1956, TCI Precision Metals is a family-owned precision manufacturer producing precision Machine-Ready Blanks from aluminum, stainless steel and other alloys.

North Easton Machine Celebrates a Golden Anniversary North Easton Machine Company (North Easton, MA) celebrated its 50th anniversary on Friday, September 19, 2014, at the historic Oakes Ames Memorial Hall. The event included past and present company staff, customers, colleagues and elected officials. Company president, Jon Holbrook, was presented with a proclamation to mark the achievement, from the Massachusetts House of Representatives by Representative Claire Cronin. In his speech that followed, Mr. Holbrook took time to thank North Easton
Machine’s employees, customers and others in attendance for helping North Eason become the success it is today. Jon spoke of the company’s early days and the significance of holding the event at Oakes Ames Memorial Hall. His father, Donald Holbrook, started the company as a part-time venture in the family’s garage after arranging a loan with local banker, David Ames. While supporting his family on $100 a week at his full-time job, Donald bought several used screw machines and worked most nights until midnight. His wife, Marie Holbrook, took care of the ordering and receiving of tooling and raw materials and she handled deliveries, as well as the household. The company continues to operate on Elm Street in a 15,000 square foot
building just behind the garage where it began. Today, North Easton Machine employs twenty five staff and supplies precision machined components to a wide variety of industries and companies around the world. The company has been a member of the NTMA and involved in its Boston Chapter for twenty-seven of its fifty years.
North Easton Machine President, Jon Holbrook, cuts into the cake made to resemble a machine
tool as his wife, Lil, and mother, Marie, look on.

Why America CAN'T Go Metric! If America ever converted to metric, it would screw up everything we always took for truth! Such as:
If you give them a 2.5 centimeter they will take a 1.609 kilometers.
Twenty-eight grams of prevention is worth 453 grams of cure.
A miss is as good as 1.609 kilometers. Put your best 0.3 of a meter forward. Peter Piper picked 8.8 liters of pickled
peppers. Spare the 5.03 meter and spoil the child.

Did you ever taste a cup of Arbuckle Coffee? It was without question one of the best cups of coffee on the market at one time. But, the Arbuckle board of directors met in 1963 and decided their coffee was so superior that they drafted and ap-proved a policy to never spend a cent on advertising, and to keep the money for the stockholders. That's why today, there are very few people who remember Arbuckle Coffee. On the other hand.... a soft drink company made a policy decision to invest 2.5% of the profits from every bottle of soft drink sold, to advertising. You've heard of, and know, the successful company as Coca Cola.
