The word technology
is correctly defined as the practical application of knowledge;
and with over 65 years of machining experience, the most technologically
advanced machine tools on the market today and a management team dedicated
to utilizing lean concepts to reduce waste and labor content while
maximizing efficiency and process reliability, let Slabe Machine put
technology to work for you.

The simple secret
to profitably delivering on-time low-cost complex components is to
fill a shop with a wide variety of the most technologically advanced
machine tools and insure that they are utilized efficiently by a team
that embraces the entire spectrum of lean techniques. The slightly
tougher part is doing this all methodically over a very long
period - one machine at a time - constantly reinvesting using only
short-term debt so as to avoid having the bank own it all. And by
ignoring the new 'expansion through debt' mentality and adhering to
this old-world strategy for seven decades, the result is a world-class
shop able to offer everything from design and prototyping to full-scale
production - at low costs.
