This initiative highlights ITAMCO’s dedication to providing its workforce with opportunities to grow and master the latest technologies. By involving employees in the retrofitting process, ITAMCO fosters a culture of learning and innovation. This hands-on experience allowed team members to gain valuable skills and knowledge in advanced manufacturing technology, ensuring the company remains at the forefront of the industry.
"ITAMCO clearly believes in empowering their employees with the tools and knowledge to excel," comments Tom Vascik from NUM US. "Projects like the Fellows 36-6 shaper retrofit not only enhance their production capabilities, but also provide invaluable training opportunities for their in-house software development and integration teams. This investment in their personnel, coupled with NUM’s collaborative engineering approach have led to a capable machine and personnel with direct practical knowledge of the software application and hardware."
Investing in People: A Cornerstone of ITAMCO’s Success
ITAMCO has a long-standing history of investing in its employees. This commitment is evident in various initiatives:
- Employee Ownership: ITAMCO transitioned to a 100% employee-owned company in October 2024, demonstrating a strong belief in shared success and empowering employees with ownership in the company.
- Continuous Learning: ITAMCO actively promotes a culture of learning by providing resources and opportunities for employees to enhance their skills and knowledge. This includes internal training programs, partnerships with educational institutions, and encouraging participation in industry events.
- Advanced Technology Adoption: By embracing cutting-edge technologies like NUM’s Flexium+ CNC and shaping conversational, ITAMCO ensures its operators are equipped to work with the latest advancements in the field.
Central to the update is the integration of NUM’s Flexium+ CNC platform, a comprehensive solution encompassing CNC hardware, servo drives, and motors, along with NUM’s intuitive gear shaping conversational programming software.
As Joel Neidig, Co-CEO at ITAMCO, points out, “Upgrading our gear shaper with NUM’s Flexium+ CNC control has been a transformative step for ITAMCO.
