Pickwick Earns Spot On Inc. 5000 For Second Year

Pickwick Manufacturing Services (Cedar Rapids, IA) was recently named to the 2009 Inc. 5000, which lists the fastest-growing private companies in America. The contract metal fabrication firm joined the list in 2008 and continues to be ranked among the nation?s top private companies.

?The recognition over the past two years is a reflection of our customers? satisfaction with our manufacturing services,? said Walt Corey, president of Pickwick Manufacturing Services. ?Our no-stock, no-minimum production system has brought about our success by allowing original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to remain competitive and responsive in a difficult economy.?

Corey attributes Pickwick?s growth to its flexibility in producing small quantities frequently, which in turn enables OEMs in a wide variety of industries to respond to demand without inventory. ?Pickwick has become an expert in the produce-to-demand model over the last 20 years,? said Corey. ?By allowing our customers to successfully deliver multiple variations on their products in a short time frame, inventory becomes a thing of the past. The customer can look forward to improved profit margins and customer satisfaction.?

Pickwick Manufacturing Services has served international clients from its location in Cedar Rapids since 1939. The company holds the distinction of purchasing the first sheet laser in the U.S. in 1985.
