So we try to be able to provide cost competitive options and remain nimble.” The company’s small-business attitude further enhances its customer-centric operations. “We don’t want to have the mentality of a typical large manufacturer, disconnected from the end user,”Wissman states. “As we continue to grow, it’s important to Bill McKee (VP of Sales & Mar- keting) and me to keep focus on where we came from.” This dedication to personalized service with competitive prices is what keeps clients coming back.Wissman says that customers de- scribe the team at Dimensional Metals as “fair, honest, and up-front,” stating, “We have a lot of repeat customers. You get in there, you get your foot in the door, and you knock their socks off.

It’s nonstop.” He adds that the company revamped its website last year, assisting with brand awareness and allowing clients and consumers to easily access information. These investments in person- alized service and technology will undoubtedly pave the path toward future growth.Wissman outlines his vision for the near future: “I’d like to see two to three more fabrication/supply shops within five to six years. And there are some geographic areas that we can still expand in that we haven’t. So, I’d like to
