Last year, Therm-O-Type of Nokomis, Florida teamed up with Preco to sell, install and service its line of sheet-fed, high-speed die-cutting equipment for industrial markets.
For over 30 years, Preco has provided the world's metalworking industry with the most complete selection of laser-based contract manufacturing services and systems, including laser welding, cladding and heat treating.
Preco has built its reputation on servicing customers with advanced laser and die cutting technologies as well as contract services.
Two of Preco’s most important core technologies are lasers and galvanometer scanheads.
Last fall, Jason Thoen came back to campus in order to talk to the Advanced Lab class about the usefulness of the skills he learned in the class and also to give some job seeking advice.
Like the majority of manufacturing technology companies in the current economic downturn, Preco, LLC, has had its share of difficulties.
Historically lasers have not been the "go to" device in the gasket industry because of speed, cost, and technology limitations.
