The Company is currently implementing Syteline, a complete ERP solution, across the whole organization. They’ve implemented it first at the home office in Oconto, WI, and in Lynchburg, VA second. Mexico and Rockford will follow over the next year. The value-added is that the Company will be on a single, modern platform. “We will be able to synergize on the purchase of materials because of the visibility across the whole enterprise,”
