I am happy to report that our 60th anniversary was a record year for Boston Centerless. I want to thank our customers, suppliers and the entire Boston Centerless team for making 2018 so successful. What momentum we created last year has flowed into this year. We continue to invest in people, equipment and automation to expand our capacity and service offerings. Buying machinery is easy. Finding team members that fit our core values and have the basic skills needed to succeed in our organization, not so much. Precision Matters Magazine is published by Carle Publishing Inc.
