I thought it might be of interest to some. Please don't use it as a
springboard to schoolyard political insults.

Interesting! Two manual mills in the picture, not sure what
other machinery they have.


They must have quite a bit more if they hired 35 people for the shop.
Subtract 5 admins, 5 salesmongrels, and 5 grunts, and you have as many
as 20 machinists working there.

One Atta Boy to KOMO for bringing work back home. Kudos, PMC!


They're right down the shore from me. Nice people. The machining
operation is small ("about 15% of total staff"), CNC and some manual
machines, the rest being assemblers, engineers, and technicians.
