162 THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK WESTERN WIRE AN INDUSTRY LEADER WITH OVER 100 YEARS OF EXPERTISE from page 80 In 2016, after over 100 years of being in the Young family, Western Wire Products Company was purchased by Michael Basler and continued Western Wire’s tradition of being a family owned business. Michael had worked with Western Wire since 2000 and became the Chief Financial Officer of the company in 2013. Since purchasing Western Wire Products Company, Michael has been refocusing on customers and their needs, bringing new technology to the company to improve production, quality, delivery and customer service. Michael is also working on realigning the company’s standard product offerings and looking for product expansion opportunities to help navigate Western Wire through the next 100 years. Since taking over the Company in 2016 there has been a constant focus on customers and reducing lead times which had grown beyond our liking, especially in regards to cotter pins. The cotter machines had been ignored from a preventative maintenance perspective and were worn out. Several of the machines were experiencing more down time than they were up time. Over the past 3 years our team has been busy rebuilding and improving the machines. We have invested over one-half of a million dollars in equipment and machine upgrades including adding another CNC wire forming machine to expand our capabilities in the custom wire forming area. We are seeing the improvements in production and reduction in lead times. While we still have work to do in some areas, we have made vast improvements and several machines are caught up to within our desired lead times. In addition to upgrading and overhauling our equipment, Western Wire has focused on meeting the ever-increasing quality requirements of our customers. In 2015 we became ISO 9001:2015 certified. We were the first company to be certified to the 2015 revision under our registrar and lead auditor. Western Wire has joined several new trade organizations and we are attending more trade shows in order to meet with our current customers as well as to meet new potential customers. Please be sure to stop by our booth, #2158, at the upcoming International Fastener Expo in Las Vegas. We truly want to thank all of our customers; we greatly appreciate your business and our relationships, many of which have spanned for decades. Without our customers we would not exist. We look forward to continuing to be your go to source for all of your industrial wire product and fastener needs over the next 100 years. WESTERN WIRE PRODUCTS
