Since starting as a small job shop in 2002 with four employees and a 10,000-sq.-ft. facility, Milwaukee, WI-based Argon Industries has become a one-stop contract manufacturer. Now with 135 employees in a 128,000-sq.-ft. facility, it provides a diverse range of products for high-end appliances, infrastructure repair and maintenance, defense contractors, point-of-purchase displays, HVAC products, water technologies, and OEM equipment. Such a range of offerings and industries requires an arsenal of equipment. For Argon, this includes three fiber laser cutting machines; a waterjet cutting system; two servo electric turret punch presses, one with automated load and unload; a high-speed press; robotic welders; a large conveyorized powder coating line; and its most recent addition—a Salvagnini P2 lean automated panel bender.
