For high-volume customers, Almar provides a tray system for purchasing tooling. These trays enable large quantities of tools to be shipped without the need for individual packaging, saving both time and money. This system also helps reduce waste by preventing thousands of plastic tool holders from ending up in landfills. This type of innovation makes it easy for 3V Precision Machining to do business with Almar Tools.
Another aspect of interest in online ordering for a company like Almar is that existing customers will not necessarily have to pay by credit card, as they have been accustomed to paying on terms. " We want to make it as easy as possible, whether you ' ve been in business for 20 years or are new. Amazon changed the game for everyone. They all want one-click and 2-day shipping."
Ryan mentioned that many people in the industry belong to an older generation, and he believes it’ s more challenging for larger, older companies to embrace technological changes.“ We see this as an opportunity for us.”
When Ryan ' s grandfather started the business, he quickly determined how to solve a problem for the aerospace manufacturing industry with the needed cutting tools. While he may not have envisioned Almar’ s technology back then, his company is in good hands with Ryan, his father, uncle, and a team of skilled machinists.
