2016 was a historic year for Polamer Precision. We set new benchmarks in almost every department of the company including revenue and employee growth. Most importantly, we proved that we were capable of evolving from a development “job shop” to a global, 21st century aerospace manufacturing facility in a short time.
Our customers took notice and this evolution led to the signing of three Long Term Agreements (LTAs) in 2016. These agreements are commitments from our customers which will allow us to have strong, healthy business for years to come thus allowing us to continually invest in resources, technology and employees.
2016 LTA Overview //
Hanwha Techwin: Also in October, we signed a contract to produce Diffuser Cases for Hanwha Techwin, a world leader in aerospace headquartered in Seoul, South Korea. This 10 year LTA will allow us to further invest in our complex 5-axis machining cells.
2017 is shaping up to be another productive year full of unprecedented growth. Our current performance and execution on critical hardware for Pratt & Whitney is creating both opportunity and stability. We are currently in negotiations with Pratt & Whitney on a third revision to our LTA which would further bolster our backlog. A strong backlog is key in creating opportunities for current employees, job security and increased profit sharing.
We would like to thank every single employee at Polamer Precision. It is through your daily execution and ability to take on challenging tasks that have made us one of Pratt & Whitney’s most valued suppliers. The future is bright and we look forward to an exciting year ahead!
– Sales and Marketing Team
As we enter the new year, it is a natural time to pause for both gratitude and reflection. Many of you have been with Polamer Precision for years and have seen the company grow tremendously. Over the years, you were able to exceed your goals and meet the challenges of prosperity. For those of us who have joined the company recently, you have welcomed us and generously shared your expertise, skills, and advice. I believe this has made us a stronger team and has kept us on the path to success. For this I am grateful.
With a 50% increase in sales, this year has been exceptional. As a team we were able to deliver successfully on our contracts and continue to build a reputation for quality and innovation. Each and every contribution has been essential to our increased growth.
I am really proud of the fact that as a company and individually as employees, we contributed to the community and shared our good fortune.
Many organizations benefitted from our philanthropic efforts including the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, the New Britain Friendship Center, and other local charities in New Britain and surrounding towns. I am amazed by the generosity of each and every one of you. We can all take pride in these contributions.
2017 will be filled with exciting opportunities largely due to the strong commitment, talent, and skills of our team. We look optimistically to the challenges the new year will bring. With an anticipated 100% increase in sales, we intend to add more than 10 million dollars in new equipment and 60 – 100 new employee positions in order to accommodate the production volume. I am confident we will welcome them with enthusiasm. It is important for us to move forward while holding on to the core values that have brought us to where we are today.
I am proud to be a part of the Polamer Precision team and look forward to 2017!
