Philosophy

In the world of industrial surface preparation (sanding, grinding, blasting, and polishing), 5% of the process represents 95% of the process cost and holds back 95% of the potential process value. Understanding exactly what needs changing is the only way to offer a solution that is both effective and affordable.

 

Temple Allen's insight is that the problem is not the person or the tool - the problem is that the person has to hold the tool. Vibration injuries, fatigue from tool weight and awkward positions, low productivity, and dust exposure are the terrible and expensive symptoms of that small part of the traditional process.

 

Sanders and grinders are simply too heavy, vibrate too much, require uncomfortable postures, and generate too much dust for the current process to be either safe or efficient. Even though you can buy innovative tools, abrasives, and vacuums, doing so does not address the underlying incompatibility between human capacities and conventional operations. It is not enough to solve these symptoms one at a time, and until EMMA™, no one had managed to solve all four at once.

 

By redefining the problematic 5% of the process, we compensate for human limitations, and thereby unleash 100% of the worker's capability and deliver an optimized combination of EMMA equipment, abrasives, tooling, and vacuum integration that improves quality, maximizes productivity, eliminates injury, and protects the environment.

 

Optimizing the equipment that we deliver and making sure customers get the fastest return on their investment requires that we spend time getting to know their operations. To gain and keep their trust is our highest priority and the only way we will, or can, do business.
