Though they were initially intimidated by automation, Vickers Engineering began adopting this technology when they saw that it would be essential for their continued growth. By adding robotic cells to their production process, Vickers Engineering has increased their productivity, enhanced the quality of their operations, and attracted younger workers. With automation and robotics, Vickers has been able to grow from 80 to over 200 employees and become a competitor in the global market.

Matt Tyler

With automation, we are now the most competitive in the country and now in the world. Quite frankly, we feel that manufacturers that aren’t automating some of their processes at the very least are going to fall behind. There’s a lot more room for us to grow with this automation process, and we’re looking forward to it.
