Oct. 11, 2016October Town Hall Meeting

The first Thursday of every month, the entire HPM team gathers in the lunchroom for 30 minutes for a Town Hall style of meeting.  HPM President Tim Herold takes his place front and center to share company news.  We discuss everything from Total Shipments, to Facility Improvements, New Customers loaded, all from the previous month.  Also added are the upcoming opportunities that are coming for the current month.  This helps give the folks in the shop a better understanding of how the company is doing, where the work is coming from, and how busy we were and will be.

Oct. 3, 2016HPM's Employee of the Month

Congratulations to HPM's Employee of the Month for September - Robert!  Robert has been working at HPM for 11 years.  Although his exact title is Press Brake Operator and Machine Maintenance, Robert does a lot more than that.  In fact if you want to locate Robert in the shop, you have to ask the shop supervisor 'Where is Robert today?'  Maybe at a press brake, maybe in the turret room, or maybe even in hardware.  One of the reason's Robert was chosen for the EOM (according to one of the nomination forms) is that he "will go to what ever department that is asked of him with no complaints."

Aug. 10, 2016LET THERE BE LIGHT!

In precision sheet metal fabrication, it is important that you can SEE your work at the appropriate level of detail and clarity. HPM just completed a "Wall-to-Wall" lighting upgrade at our White Bear Township facility. "The previous lights had come to the end of their useful life," said HPM CFO Steve R. "We were able to take advantage of the latest in LED lighting technology which also provides significant energy usage savings."
