Niagara Falls, Ontario
Heat treat industry veterans Wally Bamford, Chairman of HARPER INTERNATIONAL and founding partner of CAN-ENG, along with William R. Jones, CEO of the Solar Atmospheres group of companies, discussed a cooperative exchange of business benchmarks between Can-Eng, Harper International, and Solar Manufacturing, Inc. The purpose of this innovative business data exchange was to review operating parameters such as cost of materials, engineering and manufacturing labor rates, sales, marketing, R&D, and other cost centers. Since each of the companies is in the furnace manufacturing business, yet not competitors, it was agreed that an exchange of information would be helpful in improving each companies’ operations and identifying efficiencies. The most recent management team meeting took place in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, where the photo associated with this release was taken.
