Falcon also has taken a local leadership position in the application of technology to increase quality and productivity. Current management has committed record levels of capital investment in pursuit of continuous improvement as seen in Falcon's installation of wire electrical discharge machining (EDM), CNC machining, CAD/CAM capability. Additionally, recent capital investments have increased capacity in material handlilng and stamping press operations.Falcon's design innovation and creative application skills have enabled customers to effectively produce many new, unique components and assemblies. As an integral member of the customers' developement team, Falcon has contributed to the introduction of hundreds of successful product innovations ranging from large vehicle frame members to small intricate spring steel components.Falcon operates a central, one story facility covering nearly twenty-eight thousand squaure feet. Design, critical machining and trial production are conducted in-house. Resident capabilities include Solids design, CAD/CAM manufacturing, precision grinding, milling, boring, welding, wire electrical discharge machining (EDM), and CNC machining. Carefully selected vendors provide ancillary services as may be required.
