Jobshop prides itself in measured performance

Article Abstract:

Andreas Schneider and Robert Jenzer operate and own Huntington Beach, CA-based subcontracting firm Swiss Tech. The company engages in fine blanking, tooling and prototype work. The owners, however, make it a point to provide absolute quality as shown by its investment in CNC equipment. Swiss Tech's high-volume work requires complete quality control. The use of the DEA Swift benchtop coordinate measuring machine has also hastened the jobshop's measuring times.
