According to company president Jeffrey Cronk, “The key to C&D’s 20 years of success is their dedicated workforce that embraces a do-whatever-it-takes attitude while maintaining focus on product quality and customer satisfaction. C&D’s customer service philosophy is to treat the customer as they would expect to be treated.” Each C&D customer has a dedicated contact who follows through on quotations, new order confirmation, and current order status.

Cronk explained that continual re-investment in manufacturing technology and company infrastructure has enabled C&D to meet the changing demands of the industry. The company is currently in the process of implementing a new ERP software system, and recently had all manufacturing personnel trained as Certified IPC Specialists.

AM&T was instrumental in C&D’s 7,800 sq ft facility expansion in 2005, providing project planning assistance and integration of Lean manufacturing principles. C&D is currently working with AM&T on Quality Management System review and improvement with plans for ISO 9001:2008 certification by the fi rst quarter of 2013.
