Welcome to
Precision Matters
Magazine!
It’s incredible to think that we find ourselves on the cusp
of another decade. In a few months, it will be 2020! It feels
strange just writing that. The Boston Centerless team
continues to focus on providing new, better and more efficient
methods of producing and delivering precision metals to the
Medical Device, Aerospace, Contract Manufacturing and
other industries.
In this fourth edition of Precision Matters, we will tell you
ways to increase the convenience in—and remove the hassle
from—procuring and receiving high-quality materials. To
support our customers across the globe, we have continued to
expand our presence outside of the United States. We want to
be in a position to support all of the plants of our international
customers.
Always looking to improve operations while increasing our
service level, we’ve added more equipment and capabilities
since our last issue. Inside this magazine, you’ll learn about
our new automated precision machined bar end chamfering
machine.
And my favorite part of the magazine is when we spotlight
one of our best and brightest “artisans.” Our artisans combine
their years of proprietary processing skills and meticulous
workmanship with a desire to wow the customer.
I hope you enjoy Precision Matters IV!
Steven Tamasi
President & CEO
