Clarke: “We are the lowest cost producer of acrylic products,which is a requirement if you’re going to be in the OEM business.We’re also, probably,more advanced from a robotic and automation standpoint than our competitors; we’ve always believed in au- tomating the process to improve quality as well as increase production.We’ve had as many as 280 em- ployees working for us at any given time, producing at about the same rate that we’re producing, today, with 125 people.We’re far more efficient and a lot of those jobs that used to exist have been replaced by automation of one form or another,mostly robotics.”
