“Our efficiency has gone up. The employees are more relaxed, and they can go home and have the energy to engage with their families. That’s important to us.”
Emir Avdić, Sebright Products COO
“Safety is a huge aspect of why we utilize positioners. Now, our welders don’t have to sit on carts or crawlers and move under the weld. They don’t even have to bend over to make a weld. It literally makes it so that you don’t have to break your back.”
Emir Avdić, Sebright Products COO
