Cincinnati, OH – In its search for a leveling solution for its electrical industry parts, Monti Incorporated didn’t have to look far. The company found ARKU’s leveling service center literally right around the corner in Cincinnati. While the companies‘ proximity did not seal the deal, the leveling center’s turnaround time and part quality did. “We have been able to cut production times by as much as 15 percent, reduce our part rejection rate and increase product quality,” said Nate Duhl, Account Manager with Monti. “The location and dependability of ARKU makes it just another aspect of our production process. It’s like a partnership.”
