Anchor Manufacturing Group

sheet metal fabrication unit – the Anchor Metal Processing Group – which manufactures electrical enclosures and steamers for the food industry. Regarding the competition, Parente says, “Anchor’s biggest advantage is speed. Customers often need compressed timing on projects that are technically challenging. And Anchor is able to respond quickly while offering the best technical solutions, which can include different and dissimilar materials.” Another advantage: because the four members of the company’s management board have a combined 125 years in the automotive sector, with three of the four being engineers, Anchor can offer more innovative and complex solutions to its automotive clients. Parente adds that the engineers at Anchor mentor the younger employees there, teaching them how to perform specific functions at less cost and with less waste, and with an emphasis on stronger and lighter fabrications. “Everyone is hands-on and helping each other develop different techniques and processes that will help Anchor develop while also helping the auto industry,” he reports. In fact, grooming Anchor employees and helping them advance in their chosen career paths has been a key to the company’s success over the years. “Every one of our employees has the opportunity to develop into whatever position they would like to do,” Parente states. “We have a development process for every one of our employees. Our PMA (Precision Metalforming Association) award-winning training program is highlighted by career boards in every cafeteria. These show exactly what is required to advance to any position at Anchor. All the associate needs to do is say what they want to become. Also, Anchor understands the most important person is the one who makes the parts, so the focus is on helping and listening to these people.
