INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE
Quality means doing it right when no one else is looking.
CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
During the recession of 2008, some of our suppliers began having trouble filling orders. Everyone was struggling with cash flow and customer’s weren’t buying much. We made a decision to stock up on our inventory, even though it was risky. By stocking the parts, we were able to make the sales when customers were ready to buy, so that’s what allowed us to make it through those tough times.
