We're known as "The Machine Shop Next Door" to customers around the world. For twenty-eight years, S&S has focused on manufacturing the highest quality parts and tooling, outstanding customer service and unsurpassed customer satisfaction. This focus propelled our growth over time. Our design and engineering strengths have evolved into a reputation for manufacturing tooling, dies and parts that exceed the life expectancy of original equipment which in turn gave us the opportunity to be the manufacturer for several prominent original equipment marketers. What Does S&S Sell to Can Makers? We sell new and remanufactured parts and tooling for body makers, cuppers, domers, trimmers, necker/flangers and printers. What is The S&S Guarantee? We more than guarantee, we 'certify' that every piece of tooling, die or part will match your specifications exactly. If your prints call for a particular steel or carbide, you can be sure that we won't subtitute material as some shops do. S&S manufactures and remanufactures a wide variety of parts and tooling where tight tolerances are the rule. Quality is a process where every step from scheduling, to milling, grinding, welding, brazing, heat treating and coating is quality checked along the way. Should You buy S&S Remanufactured Parts and Tooling? Quality remanufactured parts and tooling can save you money. A good example is precision, remachined, reground, hard chromium plated and polished bodymaker rams that outlast new rams by one and a half times. And the cost to remanufacture a ram is only 50% of what it costs to purchase a new one. This means companies contracting with S&S remanufacture body maker rams and other parts and tooling save money once by paying less, and twice by getting an extended part life. Why are most S&S Customers Repeat Customers? Customer oriented service representatives, production team leaders and well trained operators are focused as a team to deliver parts tooling and service that meets or exceeds our customer's expectations. Our customers say: "We buy from S&S because everything they manufacture is of the highest quality, and we can count on them for on-time delivery." We are confident that while other manufacturers might occasionally be able to deliver parts andtooling at a lower price, it is impossible to consistently do so while still matching S&S quality. Why Are S&S Employees Committed To Customer Satisfaction? First, there is individual and corporate pride. Second, every member of the S&S team is anxious to reduce the price our customers pay per part because our "Gain Sharing Bonus Program" rewards employees with more than just an "attaboy" when they reduce costs. Each year S&S employees earn thousands of dollars in bonuses, and their earnings are based on how much they save our customers. It's our incentive plan to deliver higher quality parts and faster service. What Happens At S&S When I Place an Order? The S&S customer representative listens attentively as the customer describes the job, then prepares a job order package which includes a purchase order, work order, and shipping documents. A team leader reviews the work order and specifications or prints, then writes a set of procedures, protocols and quality checks to ensure the job will match customer specifications. You customer service representative will match your expected delivery time with our work schedule. Manufacturing begins with quality checks performed throughout the process. Certification documents are prepared for signatures, and your job heads to shipping. The job is shipped in time to meet your expected delivery date by your choice of carrier. Higher quality parts, and on-time delivery are guaranteed anywhere in the world. A plant in San Paulo, Brazil, or Whitbey, Ontario can expect to receive their parts when expected just like a facility, in Minneapolis or Los Angeles. Our convenient ordering and tracking system lets us know where your order is at any time, wheather it's in the plant or on the way to you.
