LMC Installs New Generator to Protect Against Power Outages

Since the start of COVID, the world of supply chain has been ravished.  Customers are looking for a faster response to their needs than ever before; thank you Amazon!  During the last 6 months, LMC has placed a full-court press on our ability to do just that – Deliver consistently good quality when our customers need it.  But running a business in New England generates challenges when it comes to weather and for anyone who lives in New England, you understand that.  Whether it’s snow, sleet, tropical storms, we New Englanders have dealt with it all.  Due to some storms, Light Metals has lost days of production and missed important deliveries for our customers.  As a result, we recently installed a brand-new generator that is essential in always being available to deliver product to our customers while providing quality anodizing and phosphate coating services. 

Productivity is Our Priority

Our new generator produces 400 kilowatts of power. According to Dan Beers, Maintenance & Environmental Supervisor, this amount of power is 13x more than the average kilowatts a home uses in an entire day. This level of power is essential for LMC’s customers because it means that our productivity will not be halted. We are still able to fulfill parts and offer metal finishing services to customers because the down time from when the power goes down to when the generator takes over is only five minutes. 

According to Project Manager, Jim Schroeder, “we will be able to remove parts that are in the automatic lines before they are damaged. This means we will be able to ship parts and fulfill our commitments to our customers.” 

Effective Metal Finishing Solutions

LMC is dedicated to our customers and this generator is another step in ensuring that we can provide customers with the effective metal finishing solutions they need. Contact us for all of your metal finishing needs!
