What New Hampshire Business Are Saying We have experienced a 50% improvement in our daily production output with the same staff as we had before. The outcome we have experienced from the work we have done with the NH MEP has exceeded my expectations. Wayne Justason, Vice President of Manufacturing Reliable Technologies, Manchester, NH. "Producing one of our custom doors use to take 20 to 22 man hours," said Kevin Bittenbender Team Leader of the Woodworking Shop. "Now a door can be completed in 12 hours." A simple change has cut our lead time by 66%, reduced production hours by 11%, and decreased the square footage that our process takes."
