“It’s a workhorse…”
GM Nameplate Plant Manager Marc Doan uses the 20” x 26” Crest to die cut adhesives in an aerospace manufacturing cell in the company’s Seattle plant.
“The Crest has been running 24 hours a day, five-six days a week, with probably 50 setups a day for 50 different parts over three shifts,” said Doan. “It’s a workhorse for us. There’s no make-ready, quicker setup, newer technology and easier maintenance.”
