Grinding Machines
What do you do when your orders outpace your production?
Since 1978, Moore’s Ideal Products, LLC (MIP) in Covina, California has designed and manufactured parts and tools for high-performance RC race cars. Recently MIP experienced a sharp increase in demand for their products, especially their world-renowned hex wrenches. MIP needed to increase their production without sacrificing the production or development of other products.
