THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK
Earnest Machine is
helping distributors in the
U.S. and Europe grow their
businesses, thanks to the
company’s engineering and
manufacturing facilities in the
U.S. and England.
The company began doing
custom manufacturing in the
U.S. in 2013 and added a
facility in England in 2015,
according to Kirk Zehnder. “We
realized there was a need to be
able to quickly help a customer
with a custom product or
application,” said Zehnder.
“When a replacement part isn’t
readily available off the shelf,
that can lead to downtime
and lost revenue. Our custom
manufacturing program helps
companies reduce downtime
and increase profits.”
Earnest can manufacture
from raw stock to print
specifications, customize an
existing part or make custom,
large diameter hex head cap
screws from blank stock
inventory - all in a matter of
hours. “Many times a customer
simply needs a standard part
customized. Like drilling a hole,
cutting a slot or facilitating
special plating,” commented
James Lawrence, Earnest’s
Director of Manufacturing.
“We serve hundreds of
small distributors with our
standard core products,”
added Lawrence. “The ability to
quickly help them with custom
parts is another way we are
able to meet the needs of our
customers and help them grow
their businesses.”
