"For the manufacturing industry, UNEX customers face challenges with keeping pace with customer demands - customers of today want to order make-to-order custom items created just for them. They also want their product orders as quickly as possible. No one waits 4-6 weeks anymore. It needs to be days, not weeks," said Brian C. Neuwirth, VP of Marketing and Sales at UNEX Manufacturing. "Howard works diligently to manage the operations of our company and ensures customers get the best quality equipment and services that improve efficiencies, streamline operations and increase bottom line revenues."
