AMMAC is a screw machine job shop with the capability to produce parts from a variety of materials including low carbon, alloy, and stainless steels; brass; copper; aluminum; and plastic. The company also offers such value-added services as engineering, EDI processing, bar code labeling, heat treatment, grinding, plating, and painting. Recently, this York County machine shop had acquired a Michigan company, and was struggling to merge the Michigan and Pennsylvania operations in York, where it hoped to meet its manufacturing needs at a cost effective site.
In addition to the expense of this transition, AMMAC lost a significant contract to a local motorcycle manufacturer, further restricting its cash flow and causing rolling layoffs.
SEWN worked with AMMAC's bank to restructure the company's debt, providing $125,000 of additional cash flow annually. The productivity improvements enhanced AMMAC's bidding, and the company recently secured a large contract from an off-road vehicle manufacturer. SEWN also provided AMMAC with a reliable financial forecasting model so that it can accurately project its costs in the future.
