Posted: February 23, 2015
Talan Products, Inc. (Cleveland, OH), a full-service metal stamping company and manufacturer of tooling and engineered parts, has received a 2015 Evolution of Manufacturing Award presented by Smart Business Magazine.
The company was honored for its achievements in manufacturing, including its commitment to safety and efficiency in its manufacturing processes. The company’s incident rate decreased from nearly 20 in 2006 to zero in 2014. Over the same span, its DART rate (days away, restrictions, transfers) decreased from ten to zero. Talan has maintained a DART rate of zero since 2013.
The company’s commitment to efficiency is demonstrated in its investment in new equipment. It purchased a remanufactured 600 ton Minster Hevi-Stamper press that will be operational in the spring. This press will be paired with a new deburring machine capable of handling stampings up to 14 in diameter. Both new machines will be installed as part of a new production line that will allow the company to bring previously outsourced work back in-house.
“We are extremely honored to receive a 2015 Evolution of Manufacturing Award,” said Steve Peplin, the chief executive office of Talan. “It’s a tremendous source of pride for us, because it has come as the result of hard work and commitment from all of our people as we continue to work to maintain high standards in everything we do and continue taking steps to increase the ease of doing business with us.”
Talan was among 10 companies honored at the 2015 Evolution of Manufacturing Conference on February 19 at the Advanced Technology Training Center on the Metro Campus of Cuyahoga Community College. John Kahl, the chief execuitve officer of ShurTech Brands, delivered the keynote address.
