140 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE JUNE 2019 PREFERRED VENDORS n Engineered Controls International, LLC www.regoproducts.com In 1908, the first RegO® products were designed for the gas welding industry. The name RegO® was derived from the words "Regulator" and "Oxygen." In 1923, the RegO® line was established in the young, but promising, LP-Gas industry. RegO® product engineers, in conjunction with LP-Gas marketers, pioneered the development of propane valves and regulators to meet the needs of the rapidly growing industry. The RegO® MultiValve illustrates our tradition of innovation. In the 1930s, the MultiValve® was designed to combine several valve functions in one unit. This made more practical tank designs possible - with fewer openings and smaller, less cumbersome protective hoods. Over the years, the MultiValve® has kept pace with the changing LP-Gas industry - continuing to keep tank fabricating cost down and reducing operating expenses for LP-Gas dealers. Other industry standards patented under the RegO® name include: Double Check Fill Valves, Pop Action Relief Valves, Chek-Lok Valves, and the MultiBonnet. Today, RegO® is recognized as a world leader in product quality and innovation with unsurpassed product design. Only the highest quality materials go into all RegO® products. The machining operation utilizes robotics, CNC machining, and computer-integrated manufacturing to achieve exacting standards. After passing stringent quality controls, components go to one of two assembly facilities. At a 7,000-square-meter machining facility, brass and ductile iron castings are crafted into product components. A 9,300-square- meter facility houses both assembly operations and the company’s corporate headquarters. That facility also has an in-house test laboratory, complete with a working tank farm and high-pressure lines, allowing engineers to complete design and performance tests on site. A third automated facility is dedicated solely to the production of Regulators. Following assembly, all products receive 100% testing for reliable performance. All facilities are certified to ISO9001 by UL® n McElroy Plastics, Inc. www.mcelroyplastics.com Established and incorporated in 1998, McElroy Plastics, Inc. was built from the ground up by Kevin McElroy – a hands- on owner/operator with 30 years of experience in all aspects of injection molding. We began production in March 1999 with 4 machines, and today we run 16 machines ranging from 150 ton up to 2000 ton. Our facilities include 45,000 square feet of under-roof warehouse space and 60,000 square feet of outdoor storage space. McElroy Plastics is a proud family-oriented business; Kevin’s wife, Marnie, started hiring machine operators from home when our first customer orders were received in early 1999, and now is in charge of accounting and managing the office operations. Kevin’s son, Casey, joined the company in 2004 and after 15 years of hard work and dedication is currently serving as Vice President. After graduating from high school in 2010, Kevin’s nephew, Luke, started working in the warehouse and began learning the injection molding process. He now serves as Production Supervisor. In 2011, Kevin recruited his sister, Chloe, to join the team. Chloe handles inventory management and quality control, as well as customer service. We don’t want to forget Shara Roy, who started with us in late 1999, and who does all the shipping coordination and customer service with purchase orders coming in. Along with our great team of 60 full- time employees, collectively, we love what we do and enjoy coming to work every day to look after our customers’ needs! n Woodard Eubanks & Sons www.eubanksllp.com n Compco Industries www.compcoind.com n Commercial Metal Forming www.CMForming.com n Lily Transportation Corp. www.lily.com
