- Father-Son Business Partners Make Business Processes More Efficient with an SBA Equipment Loan
A machine shop owner’s son started to work with him back in the 1980’s, leading them to start a new business together that emphasizes manufacturing high-tech screw machine products commonly used in the hydraulic industry. Centrust Bank acknowledged the shop’s potential for growth with the right equipment and wanted to see it succeed. With the bank’s financial assistance, the duo was able to purchase top-of-the-line equipment needed to provide parts to customers. This efficient technology allowed them to quickly and more precisely clean screws from oil residue than old-fashioned equipment ever could. Now, Advantage Precision continues to introduce new state-of-the-art technology to their shop today.
