Technology makes it easier to meet tight tolerances and even tighter schedules. But it is people – capable, experienced and committed – that are still the essential part of the process.

That’s why we continually invest in every level of our staff. They’re trained in the most current machining and production management techniques. And they respond in kind, by suggesting processes that could only come from hands-on experience.

A-1 knows that web-enabled data sharing, emailing of status reports and progress photos and even good old-fashioned phone calls are indispensable for keeping the customer in a loop to get quickly get feedback, approvals – and to make changes fast.

But customers get a comfortable feeling by knowing that beyond communications technologies, A-1 is physically here, centrally located in Melrose Park, Illinois, near Chicago’s O’Hare International airport and major Midwest ground transportation arteries. Because customers know that communications, maintenance, engineering changes and repairs get done faster with the firm that originally built the tool and that understands its unique personality.

So from competitive upfront pricing, to lower costs over the life of a tool, A-1 can mean lower total mold costs for lower total cost-per-part produced.
