2016 : YEAR OF FIRSTS

Posted: March 2017
2016 was an exciting year for ORCO Tool & Machine! We expanded our customer base and extended our product reach. ORCO parts are now on Latitude, Longitude, Scorpion, Hondajet, Gulfstream and Boeing 777 & 787 platforms, in addition to our longstanding work on the CJ4 and Lear 70/75 platforms.

ORCO received ITAR accreditation in early November and we're discussing contracts with customers in military markets.

We added 6,400 sq. ft. of manufacturing space, implemented a new ERP software, and installed 2 new OKUMA 3-axis CNC machines.

2017 : FOCUS ON GROWTH

Posted: March 2017
As part of our growth initiative, plans are in place to add a new 5-axis trunnion table machine and multi-spindle lathes to improve efficiency and increase capacity.

ORCO has intensified its on-boarding processes with Gulfstream Aerospace, Lockheed Martin, GKN, and others.

Increased capacity, improved efficiencies and a new ERP system allows ORCO to be even more cost competitive within the marketplace.

ITAR ACCREDITATION

New "Wins"

Improved processes and increased efficiency/productivity are showing positive results in ORCO’s ability to offer cost competitive solutions to our customers (old and new alike). So far in 2016, ORCO has won new awards from Textron Aviation (Cessna/Beechcraft), Lee Aerospace and others. These awards have expanded ORCO’s presence on a number of new general aviation platforms. In addition to our long-term work on Cessna CJ4 and Lear 70/75, ORCO product is now used on King Air, Longitude and Hondajet platforms. Relationships are now in place that allows ORCO to quote in the military and commercial aviation arenas.

ERP Implementation

New Building Expansion - COMPLETED!

Posted: August 2016
As highlighted in our previous newsletter, ORCO broke ground on a 6,400 sq ft addition to our main building with the purpose of consolidating raw material storage, deburring and conventional machining operations under one roof and allowing space for growth. We were able to occupy the new addition in June. Now with a total of 21,000 sq ft, improved material flow, and room for additional machinery, ORCO is poised for growth in the months and years ahead.

New Machines

In March, we installed two brand new Okuma CNC Machines. We're serious about the ability to provide our customers with cost efficient, high quality parts.

ERP Implementation

We're eager to announce that we are integrating a new shop management platform from ShopTech into our business! This latest upgrade enables us to streamline our production schedule and available inventory to get your parts delivered on-time.

New Building Expansion

In April, we broke ground on a 6,400sqft expansion project. We're anxious to add the much needed space which allows us to move our conventional machining and deburr operations under one roof, reorganize our stock material, improve our shop layout for a more efficient workflow, and allow more room for growth.
