T
he Salt Lake City, Utah location,
which operates as Aerospace Alumi-
num Processing, is 100 percent fo-
cused on aerospace work, primarily
for Boeing. The other three locations
work to share materials, intellectual
property and even staff in order to
solve customer requirements.
Beaumier said, “We have redundan-
cy throughout the Northwest. If we
have a location with full capacity,
we have redundancy throughout the
region so that we can transfer parts
to another location.” The locations
work together to share resources
from furnaces to personnel, based
upon individual project needs or
situations.
Beaumier added that the Salt Lake
facility has been recognized with the
Excellence Award from Boeing nine
times.
With 120 employees across four
locations, they’ve established rules
of transparency with customers and
each other. “We feel the customer
needs to understand what is going
on; we are accountable for every
single job. The customer can come in
at any time in the process and we’ll
show them what we are doing; they
can call up and visit the same day,”
Plough said.
Beaumier said that with the invest-
ment in the HIP units in Albany, “We
are becoming a bookend business,
end to end offering most everything
our customer needs.” He shared that
they have extended services that
their competitors don’t offer and are
a “one stop shop.”
