INSIDE AGRISTEEL
BETHANY REILLY
DRAFTSPERSON
Agristeel is excited to share the news of Bethany Reilly joining our team as a new draftsperson. Bethany is an analytical thinker who enjoys working on projects that encompass both broad and complex details. After studying physics and modeling at UW-Madison, she began her career in education but transitioned to drafting due to the demand of the construction industry, which has been experiencing a surge in growth.
Bethany resides in Menasha with her two dogs and is actively involved in the local dog sports scene. She and her dogs regularly train and compete in various events, including dog agility, rally obedience, fast CAT, dock diving, and conformation. If they aren't training and competing you can find them hiking, especially in state parks.
NEW EQUIPMENT UPDATE
SLITTER AND FOLDER TABLE
We have received the first of AgriSteel's four new machines at our facilities. Recently, we completed training on the new slitter and folder table. We look forward to the arrival of the panel roller and purlin roller machines, which are scheduled to be delivered later this year. By custom-rolling panels and providing secondary framing members, AgriSteel will become a single-source solution. This transformative expansion will bring all aspects of our production in-house, allowing us to streamline our processes and ensure the highest quality standards for our customers.
Producing custom-rolled panels and secondary framing members gives us greater control over every step of the manufacturing process, from raw materials to finished products. This enhancement will not only increase our efficiency but also enables us to offer even more customized solutions to meet the unique needs of our clients. The integration of these new capabilities into our Oshkosh location will further solidify our commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. We are excited to embark on this journey and look forward to unveiling the exceptional products and services that this expansion will bring.
