Plant Shutdowns
Testimonial:
“I want to officially recognize SCM, Inc. and the Fleetguard Team responsible for an outstanding performance to install and have operational the ATV Tube Assy cell in less than 48 hours. Both teams worked in concert to make what seemed to be an impossible task into the art of the possible.
This accomplishment is nothing short of amazing and most importantly will allow us to meet our customer commitment; which of course is why we are all here.
Thank you for a job well done!”
- Ryan Phillips, Fleetguard
