HUI Manufacturing gains efficiency with new press brakes

HUI Manufacturing received a long-awaited delivery recently  – a new Trumpf TruBend 5130 Press Brake arrived on February 24th. A few months of supply-chain delays set back the original schedule for the new equipment, but staff is happy to report the arrival. The delivery is part of a planned effort by HUI Manufacturing leadership to upgrade key equipment that started back in 2018. Tim Jandrey, HUI’s Director of Quality & Regulatory Affairs, says that the need for upgraded press brakes for bending sheet metal was identified over two years ago. 

HUI Manufacturing employees raised over $600 to help support the Calumet County Salvation Army Bread of Life Assistance Center. Over 75 employees participated in a holiday-themed fundraiser between Thanksgiving and the first week of December. Community outreach team member April Wasmer visited the Chilton office of the Salvation Army to hand over the check to assistance center director John Kost.
