High technology, higher spirits

At Western Shield, replacing older equipment with the new press has significantly boosted company morale—in terms of both day-to-day plant floor confidence, as well as optimism for the company's long-term future in the narrow-web marketplace.

The investment sends a clear message that Western Shield is committed to pursuing better tools for quality, reliability, and responsiveness, and ultimately, seeing its growth objectives come to fruition. "Through this investment, employees recognize our company is going to be in it for the long haul," Connelly states. "It brings legitimacy and credibility to our operation, and signifies future opportunities for us as a group."
