Top Shops 2012: McCoy
The two prime reasons for this smallish company’s success are establishing an effective process and having a lean manufacturing mindset.
The Importance of the Process when Making a Product
Jeff Daigle started Precision Die Technologies in 2005 with just $22,000 in capital equipment. Now part of McCoy (McCoy Drilling & Completions - Precision Die Technologies), the 30-person operation in which Mr. Daigle is the general manager currently achieves monthly sales of $1.5 million. He's quick to credit David Buck as being a helpful, important mentor early on during the development of the business.
