People in my age bracket.

When we graduated in the nineties, you know, NAFTA was taking hold, especially here in NEPA.

All of our manufacturing left tech and glass was going out of business.

The paper mill was going out of business.

I felt like I had no choice but to leave because there were no jobs.

There was no place to be.

And that is not the case anymore.

Production systems, automation.

We do advanced engineering, advanced manufacturing for our clients and for our own use.

When we build a machine for a customer, we'll put the whole machine together, do all the engineering, do all the programing.

We'll bring the customer in, make sure it's meeting their expectations, and then we pack it up, we ship it at our facility and then we put it back together and then restart the system.

But really, the core of our business is still engineering.

Honestly, our engineering can range from anything from mechanical to electrical to software to electronics to even product materials.

So what an engineer comes here, they have an opportunity to kind of find their path.

One of the areas we're really heavily focused on agile vision guided robots.

We're using camera system for deciding where the robot picks are places.

So this is this is a robot for a customer.

This particular customer is in in the distribution business and this robot picks up heavy bags.

You order something on the Internet, it's a £50 bag.

This robot will pick it up, put that bag into a box, and then put a shipping label on it and send it out in a FedEx truck.

This is a ghost kitchen.

We call it a ghost kitchen, but there's actually no cooking done.

These are frozen meals.

It would be you order from you, order from your phone.

You pick your salmon and rice.

The robot will pick it up, index it out of the freezer.

It's a robotic kitchen.

And then we can put those anywhere we want.

And then this will end up in a bag around a house.

So the only thing the customer is one person front of house puts them in the bag and then puts it into a pickup locker.

Almost everyone we work with is a national brand.

It's truly amazing when.

You get to see some of the things that come out of this building and to.

Think that it's right here and, you know, during Pennsylvania.

So we're bringing that that work here to the area, delivering technology to national brands all over the US.

We do a lot of work for the DOD.

Switch over to our drone business that we do for the Department of Defense.

So we do a lot of development with drones.

The big thing that we're trying to do is develop them for potential military use and harden them so make sure they can withstand really rugged and intense environments.

What are you allowed to say about this or not?

So I think the only thing we can say about this one is that it's a prototype mortar round that we manufactured here.

We made everything in the machine shop for this one, and we were able to take these, go out to Yuma and see the test firing of it, which was which is pretty cool.

I left the area for 30 years and came back.

The area has changed.

We have a core base of great college institutions that have engineering.

I grew up in iron and about a half hour from here in Derry, I chose to go to Welk's for my engineering degree because I wanted to stay kind of close to home.

Clocked out, got my internship here.

They liked me enough that I got to stay for the last 11 years.

The workforce here in the area, we all knew how to work, right?

Our grandparents, we're all hardworking.

Most of our grandparents were were immigrants.

That workforce and drive to do better is always been here and has never changed.

And now we have a top 20 or top 25 automation company in the U.S. right here in Derry, Pennsylvania.

You know, we're exploring a lot of different technologies for that.

Some of them are AI driven.

Yeah, we're always on the cutting edge of technology.

In the next 5 to 10 years, there'll be remarkable changes.

There's been remarkable changes in the last 36 months.

You know, we can make products cheaper and faster that should help with with inflation issues.

You can say our revenue is increased and the machines we do are more complicated.

But in reality it comes down to the people from our welders to the machine shop to our fabricators, to the guys that put all these systems together.

That's what makes us different.

And then the engineers put all that expertise into it.
