Anyone want to join me on a factory acceptance test in Buffalo? I lost a bet to @jack_watson_hfw, so I have to go and can’t delegate to the engineering team. (Yes, I bet against Josh Allen ☹️) A month ago Jack called me and said he had some capacities around high precision manufacturing and advanced coatings that I need to know about. 🫡 So I got the meeting set, because yes I need to know about it. But there’s a twist, Jack put me through to a sales meeting with @HfwIndustries and skipped the meeting. I refuse to believe that actually happened. On the flip side, when his new guy Willis places the order of the year for @ChangRobotics he’ll have to pay the full commission 😂😂😂 Also, I learned a lot about thermal spray and hard facing. (See slides) Credit to Jack’s leadership, one of his largest customer champions came over to HFW to be part of what they are building for America 🇺🇸 Made-in-USA advanced machine components using black magic high velocity oxygen applied coatings that dramatically improve equipment life and reliability, sold to me by the until-recently-end-user? Take my money. Patriots, all of them.
