to helping us find the right solutions for our manufacturing needs. They go above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly, from timely deliveries to quick support whenever we need it. It’ s rare to find a partner this reliable and easy to work with.”
Rahn has worked in aerospace and defense manufacturing for 25 years. She worked in the same machine shop for 17 years before she bought it. She has owned and operated this shop for nine years now. When she partnered with Smith and Esparza, the circle was complete.“ I bring the experience of the machine shop owner. They bring the experience of the metalworking fluids. It’ s not just a sales approach; it’ s a team effort. I understand the efforts needed to change over a shop. I know what doesn’ t make sense from the eyes of the customer. So together, we make every effort to make it as smooth and cost effective as possible for our customers.” Rahn said.
She said both her partners have been in metalworking fluids service and sales for nearly 30 years combined. It just made sense to build a company based on experience and customer service— a solid team that can provide technical support and solutions to machine shops of all sizes.
Although Rahn’ s aerospace and defense machine shop is located in Arizona, they opened their first warehouse in SeaTac. This region’ s aerospace industry is made up of thousands of machine shops. It was a good place to start where they could see great opportunities for their service model. They offer in-stock coolant, with delivery and service. AMF now has locations in Arizona and Utah as well.
