Since 1979 we
have continually looked for ways to grow our business by providing
value-added services to our customers, as well as staying abreast of new
processes available in the marketplace. Our customers' existing confidence
in our die cutting services, and their desire to outsource more and more
of their own manufacturing, has led us in new directions in expanding our
core businesses as we move forward into the new millennium. More and more
of our customers are finding that we really are a "One Source
Fabricator."

As
you take a few minutes to review our website, you will find that our
company is now made up of four divisions. Die Cutting continues to be our
core business, and because of customer demands for one-source purchasing,
we have separated the distribution section into its own division. This
division provides customers with non-fabricated parts and components. This
expansion was also required as a result of our company being selected as
ITW's authorized distributor of their electrical insulation material,
Formex® for the entire Southeastern United States.

In order to continue to provide our broad range of die cutting
services to our customers who have opened facilities in Mexico, we are
pleased to have opened our own 15,000 s.f. plant in Guadalajara, Mexico.
We anticipate tremendous growth in this market, as our customer base
continues to grow south of the border. From this location, we offer all of
the same one-source fabrication services with one extra, valued-added
feature. In the event that we would run a particular part back in states,
we offer stocking of that finished part in our facility in Mexico and ship
direct, within country, to our Mexican customers. We hope that you will
consider McPherson de Mexico for your die cut needs south of the
border.

Our
assembly division, Southern Assembly and Packaging, was established
in 1993 and moved into its own facility in 1996. We provide mechanical and
electro-mechanical assembly services as well as automated bagging and
component packaging services. We provide both labor only and total
purchased component assembly services. These services have resulted in
tremendous cost savings for OEM manufacturers, allowing them to reduce
their purchasing and inventory costs, and, due to our favorable outsource
labor rates, subsequently reduce their cost of manufacturing. We offer
sub-assembly and provide complete inspection, re-cartoning and
disassembling services for manufacturers with returned and recycled
inventory products from wholesalers and retailers across the
country.

In
2001, McPherson Manufacturing also completed the strategically
important acquisition of SealCraft Corporation, a die-cutting and kit
packaging company already supplying additional key markets and customers.
SealCraft was incorporated in 1984, and is the successor to
Teledyne Continental Motors gasket and seal manufacturing operation in
Walterboro, South Carolina. As such, we continue to supply Teledyne, as
well as rebuild kits for both Continental & Wisconsin Engines, and a
wide range of OEM customers. SealCraft has long been a prime
military contractor, with nuclear QA-1 approval.
Our
state-of-the-art facility located on I-95 near the Charleston airport,
provides McPherson Manufacturing with dominant Southeast and
International logistics capabilities.
We are
excited to have formed this alliance, and, together, McPherson
Manufacturing, Southern Assembly & Packaging, and
SealCraft look forward to the opportunity to provide solutions to
meet your sealing and assembly requirements, and to further cement
our relationships by providing customers with outstanding service and
quality, at competitive prices.
