ABOUT US
WIRE CUT COMPANY-EDM Machining-Located in Southern California
Founded by Milton M. Thomas in November
of 1978 he grew Wire Cut Company from only one wire EDM
machining center, a programming system and 1,500 sq. feet of electrical
discharge machining (EDM) services to 20,000 sq ft Electrical
Discharge Machining EDM machine shop facility.
History Our EDM Machine Shop
In October of 1978 Wire Cut Co. made its first move giving
room for our first employee and the addition of a second
electrical discharge machining services equipment. After
incorporation in 1981 Wire Cut was up for a tough year
in 1982. Although our sales growth was 35%, banks were
telling us there was a recession and were reluctant to
finance growth in such a young company. Wire Cut was too
busy to participate in a recession that year. By 1983 we
out grew our EDM machine shop facilities and expanded down the street where
we would stay for 13 years. Our EDM job shop business continued to boom
and by 1986 with 24 team members we had acquired a total
of 10 wire EDM machining centers, 6 conventional EDM's
and added machining to support our tooling. From 1987 to
1989 Wire Cut was busy with the expanding the Aerospace electrical discharge machining industry. Our contracts
with General Electric and other companies led the way to
add more wire EDM's, high speed EDM drilling and CNC machining
centers. Our employee count reached 34 and we had increased
our leasing space to 8000 sq. ft. EDM job shop facility.
From 1991 to 1995 we returned to advertising at Job Shop
Trade shows and Medical Design shows. We continued to expand
and developed several wire machining EDM medical customers
who we continue to service today. In 1996 medical device
manufacturing and semi-conductor customers pushed us to
new heights. Aerospace customers had returned and we again
had a record-breaking EDM machine shop year. On April
5th of 1996 we opened escrow on our own 20,000 sq. ft.
building in Buena Park. We closed escrow in July and completed
renovating the building for advanced EDM services before moving in on Dec. 27th. Today
we continue to make leaps and bounds on our success with
employee numbers past 30 and record sales each year.
We
have expanded in every area, including adding an orbital
welder and a cleanroom to our facilities list. We are able
to handle every area of light manufacturing including completed
advanced electrical discharge machined parts, EDM Tooling, metal stamping dies, prototypes, and complex aerospace parts on all hard and tough materials. Our mission statement
today leads us forward into the next chapter in electrical discharge machining expertise.
EDM Machine Shop Creativity
Using cooperation and creativity to meet EDM design challenges
has made Wire Cut Company a valuable asset to leading manufacturers
in a wide range of industries. |
