I’ve been working with the production team to further optimize operations and to ensure orders are produced accurately and efficiently. I also work directly with the customer, learning about their requirements and determining the best ways for Newcomb to manufacture their components, so we meet even the most precise order specifications and deliver parts on time and at the best prices possible.”
