During a recent trip to the Permatron facility in Elk Grove Village it was surprising to learn that the PreVent Equipment Protection range is made right there in Chicago.
Not knowing the history of air intake screens it was also surprising to realise that Permatron are the only factory based manufacturer of this product. Others have tried but only one company has been providing this air solution since 1957.
It was time for a little photo record of the factory so that you can see the difference it makes when you want something slightly different.
As Plant Manager, Hector, stated "If you can draw it, we can make it" and Company President, Leslye Sandberg, also commented that "Every standard product that we produce started life as an idea from a staff member or a customer. It was a special, became an adopted air solution and resulted in orders from stockists and distributors around the USA".
She went on to say that "Permatron can produce any quantity due to our unique manufacturing processes. This allows us to satisfy the one off special or the 10,000 stock order on a JIT basis".
The writer was slotted in on one part of the production line to produce a sample for a coffee store chain in the UK. There were 9 other parts of the process in this distribution of labour set up.
Quality of product is the driving force behind the Permatron success story with every part of the process requiring inspection and sign off before moving to the next stage.
Hazel Tyson, Export Sales Desk, is one of the reasons that this business is a success. Just like Leslye Sandberg she has worked every single factory process and machine to ensure a total understanding of the product both technically and structurally.
This is why RAB support Permatron and the PreVent Equipment Protection System. Simply the best air intake screens from the USA.
