As we prepare for our Christmas celebration, it is a great time to reflect on 2011. It has been a blessed year for us. We now serve over 9,000 customers with 10,000 standard and 10,000 custom part numbers. We have broken multiple sales records this year, including each of the last two weeks, and continue to develop new customer relationships, while strengthening relationships with our existing customers. We are expanding our global reach with a new office in Germany, and continue to build our domestic manufacturing strengths with many new machines in our factory. Yet, like so many of our customers, we are concerned about the rampant uncertainty in the various industries we serve; our customers are either low on work, or they are booming and can't find employees to hire. We see mixed signals in the commodity markets about the future direction of pricing, and we are concerned that Europe's debt concerns are a foreshadowing of what our country will face in a few short years. So amongst so many mixed and conflicting signals, our plan for 2012 is to keep focusing on the basics: providing value for our customers, developing our employees and supply base, and serving our local community. Whether you are a customer, or someone just browsing our website, we want to wish you and yours a wonderful Christmas, and great health in 2012.

A few weeks ago we found ourselves in the exciting position of discussing our spherical rod end (heim joint) product line with our new German business partner (we're opening a branch in Germany in the next few weeks - an announcement with specifics is pending) and found ourselves discovering 'anew' just how many spherical rod end (heim joints) and accessories we now offer. Although we have been manufacturing spherical rod end bearings (heim joints) for 20 years (and importing for 7 years), in having to explain to someone new to our product line its evolution, it jumped out at us how quickly and broadly it had developed. Here are some highlights...
(1) Rod End Studs: We have been offering studded rod ends since day one, but the self-installable Scotty Bolt (TM) rod end stud are still relatively new and came about from a desire to give customers a rod end stud that they could install and thus would NOT have to stock both studded and non-studded rod ends (they could just have some of the self-installable studs available).
(2) Thread Bungs: The weldable thread bungs came about because we had a few customers ask us about them. It is now a major product line for us. Our WTF series comes in 144 different sizes to fit a variety of threads and tubes. These chrome moly thread bungs are also available in kit form with our spherical rod ends (heim joints).
(3) Rubber Boots: Our family of rubber boots for spherical rod ends (heim joints) has exploded with the RS (face seal) style, the RB series (high misalignment boots), the RFS series (studded female boots) and the RMS (studded male boots).
(4) Spacers/Heim Joint Washers: Our MCW series of spacers have been a very popular accessory with our spherical rod end bearings.
(5) Bung Adjuster Nuts: Our BAN series of parts allows the user to adjust a male spherical rod end AFTER its assembled.
(6) Ladder Bar Adjusters. Our LBA series provides a nice extension for spherical rod ends.
(7) Spherical Rod End (Heim Joint) Misalignment Inserts: This family includes zinc plated (HMBZC), stainless (HMBSS) and aluminum (HMBAL) options for high misalignment inserts. The high misalignment inserts are design to fit into the i.d. of the spherical rod end bearing (heim joint) - 2 per rod end.
(8) Assortment Kits: Our spherical rod end assortment kit line up includes metric assortment kits, industrial inch assortment kits, chrome moly rod end and thread bung kits, speed shop chrome moly product kits, super-flex spherical rod end kits (includes nuts, connecting tubes, etc), and then our crazy monster kits - by far the BEST VALUE rod end deal ANYWHERE.
(9) Connecting Tubes: Our plated hex steel (HBT) and aluminum hex steel (AHT) tubes provide an economical means of creating a linkage.
